Summary: Severus visits an old friend every year on his birthday...
A/N: This is my first post to this community, which I've joined to indulge alisanne's wish for company, so you should all blame her when you get fed up of my drabbles. This piece is for you, then, ali. I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed writing it. :D
Hold Onto Hope.

Severus buried his hands in his pockets and stared at the huge, snow-covered tree that grew near Spinner's End, stubbornly imbuing its long-dead surroundings with indomitable life.
“We're still alive, old friend. Still kicking and screaming, holding onto our existence no matter how hopeless such fight may look to outsiders. I'm turning 54 today and...”
“Let's go home, sweetheart. It's freezing out here.”
“Give me another second, Harry...”
“The tree will be here next year and it knows, Severus. It knows.”
Severus frowned.
“What does it know?”
“It knows fighting on isn't hopeless. It knows life has led you... home.”
