peppermintReflections on a fern-spangled teacup
ReviewedIf someone had asked him, Severus Snape would have told them it was the pattern on the tea set that drew him into Sybill's office that Wednesday afternoon. He was so surprised by the masculine fern motif that he had invited himself in before he knew what was happening.
He'd have said it was surprise that the tea set wasn't as gaudy and over the top as the Divination professor herself that led him back every Wednesday afternoon at four. It didn't have a thing to do with the fact that Sybill understood the value of a quiet teatime with no extraneous chatter.
When the dust from the final battle had settled and the funerals and memorials conducted, one single fern-spangled teacup appeared on Severus' headstone – Charmed Unbreakable and Ever-Full.

Very poignant. It was good to think that there was somewhere for him to retreat to and not be alone during that most difficult of times, and the loyal tribute after death was so very touching.
Ach, you've made me all weepy. Something I'd never thought I'd say about the owner of this tea cup.

Even Sybill can have some complexity :) Glad you liked it :)
Hm, it would have been lovely if he had had the time and peace of mind to sit down for a cup of tea once a week.
I wonder if she'll come every wednesday afternoon for tea. Nicetea cup.
