[Harry Potter] The Farmer

I came up with this idea while chatting with a friend. I sent her a photo of a huge wooden crate in my messy storage room and said:

I really wish the crate would grow a fictional guy I love, and he'd secretly tidy up my storage room. By the time I found him, it would be spotless. Then the fictional guy would ask if he could live in the storage room in exchange for all his hard work, because he didn't know why he'd ended up at my house and had nowhere else to go. He'd be so pitiful.

Then my friend, knowing I'd fallen for Severus again, said:

"If Severus went into that room, he'd use magic to put everything in order. And unlike some sunny, cheerful guy who'd let sunlight flood the room, he wouldn't do that. He'd keep the room gloomy, but everything would be perfectly organized and arranged just so."

My girlish heart was completely won over. I said I'd write a little story when I got home!

Then I wrote over ten thousand words.

That's more or less the story. My expanded version strayed a little from the short scenario my friend described, but now that I've shared the idea, you can imagine it for yourselves.

I hope everyone who reads this enjoys it! (I know I certainly did!)
