“You have forgotten? How can you forget a day like today?”
“It happens, Harry!”
“No need to be angry with me.”
“I’m not angry.”
“What is it then?”
“I never cared for days like these. They’ve always seemed like a waste of time. Time that was better spent doing research or brewing, reading or – anything else, really.”
“I guess that doesn’t sound bad, but these are special days, Severus. Why don’t you celebrate them?”
“There was rarely someone I would have wanted to celebrate them with. It was easier to ignore it altogether.”
“But?”
“But now I have you, Harry.”
