Summary
"Standing alone in the street, cold to the bone in the brutal London winter, he felt more than heard the footsteps he had learned to recognise. The heavy winter boots making no difference to the rhythm and cadence of that almost ghostly pace. He could almost see the billowing black robes, and the persistent smile appeared on his own lips. It was becoming an annoying habit."

Summary
Sirius knows what he wants. He's just gotta figure out a way to get it. What could go wrong when he decides to use an old family spell at Christmas time to win Hermione's heart? Obviously nothing.
Hilarity ensues.
**WORK COMPLETE**
-- I am appalled that this has turned into a WIP. A *Christmas* WIP. I am disgusted with myself. Except to say that Sirius is a fucking delight and I enjoy writing every minute of this. Please enjoy. Updates soon. - dragonBig thanks to my alphabet BasicHumanWrites who is a terrible influence. As usual. You're the best. Thank you for taking a look at the first 8 chapters, and I'm sorry I couldn't restrain myself from posting the rest before you had a chance to look. The people want what the people want! And thank you to slytherin_spellbook for the pinch hitting beta work! Apologies also offered to you on my lack of self-restraint.
So you see, all the mistakes are totally mine.

Summary
Severus Snape survived the war—barely.
So when Hermione Granger, of all people, invokes an archaic magical Right of Claim to tether herself to him in a desperate act of preservation, not everyone is pleased.
It was supposed to be practical. But tethered magic doesn’t understand restraint. It pulls. It beckons.
And when Granger starts murmuring praise into his old potion notes and wearing lace in Slytherin green, it becomes very clear that this is more.
She claimed him to save him—but he’s not the only one unraveling.
A slow, magical, and deeply inconvenient descent into want, need, and everything Severus has spent a lifetime denying himself. Featuring kitchen counters, emotional repression, magical feedback loops, and a surprising amount of pastries.
