but though I left alone
Jak O' the Frost, his own self,
soon met me on the road.
Merry he went beside me
he whistled and capered and shrieked
but when I turned, Jak O' the Frost
pinched me on the cheek.
He turned the brush to flame and gold
set sparkling every stone
but when I paused to watch him work
Jak smote me to the bone.
The trees went up like fireworks
their branches crackled with ice
and between the trees the Moon's silver legs
came flashing stride by stride.
Jak O' the Frost took the Moon by hand
they danced among the trees
til each trunk like a glittering lance
shone amid the freeze!
Well, my dear, that's where I've been
and that is why I'm late
and I'd be out there still except
for this thought gave me haste:
Old Man Winter soon walks abroad
he'll pinch off all the leaves
and grind them down beneath his heel
to spite Jak's pretty trees,
And if he should catch me out-of-doors
with my coat so poor and thin –
– yes, I know we had to mind

A/N: Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays.

The stairs were cold and creaky as Severus stepped down them. It was to be expected every winter, and the iciness of the air was befitting the spirit of the house.
Downstairs was quiet. Severus had expected to see his father sprawled onto the couch, with a litter of beer cans strewn over the floor, but there was no trace. Severus held out no hope of his father being sober that morning. It was more likely he had never returned from the pub he'd stormed off to after there had been a row of fantastic proportions.
Yesterday had been Christmas Eve, and it had also been the day that Severus had been escorted home by an officer of the law who did not like 'greasy young hooligans' lurking around and snatching things that didn't belong to them. Ten year
