Settle

2. To pay (a debt or account)
3. To make one’s permanent home

NOW WITH ART!!
Sanctum
1. A sacred or holy place
2. An inviolably private place or retreatHarry wished Severus had drawn blood. Wished he’d made a scar. A token to take with him into war, like the scratches he’d left on Severus’ back after the hearing. He almost scoffed to think of that, now. The Governors. Lupin. The snatchers. Fools, all of them.
