Summary: An invitation to tea. Such a safe, measly, overture. It wasn’t even original, or particularly bold, but the idea of owling it to Potter terrified him.
A/N: I'd like to dedicate this particular work to my dear friend Sheankelor, since her birthday was a few days ago, and I'm hoping that this little drabble will make her smile. Happy belated birthday, Ree! May your day, and year, be merry. :D
 

Dare.

Severus’ every survival instinct demanded he crumple the note he’d just written; urging him to shred it, turn it into another chance he'd never dare to take.

An invitation to tea. Such a safe, measly, overture. It wasn’t even original -or particularly bold- but the idea of owling it to Potter terrified him. Would the auror laugh upon receiving it?  Would he glimpse Severus’ infatuated hopes within, and be utterly repulsed?  Would he misunderstand altogether and conclude that Severus wanted friendship?

“So what?” Severus growled, railing against his own cowardice. “Friendship is better than nothing. Risk it, you, bastard. Dare!”

Good advice, Severus.
I hope you take it. :)

He is the bravest man Harry has know, so the outcome is clear. No matter what demons there might be, no matter the risk to his body, mind, and heart Severus will dare it. And win. ;)

Thank you for this little drabble, as always I wish it was longer. :D
