[From Litha to Lammas]: Bend Before the Sun, Harry/Severus pre-slash, PG-13

Title: Bend Before the Sun
Disclaimer: J. K. Rowling and associates own these characters. I am writing this story for fun and not profit.
Pairing: Harry/Snape pre-slash
Content Notes: Rituals, angst, mentions of blood and wounds, AU in that Severus survives Nagini
Rating: PG-13
Wordcount: 5900
Summary: Severus survives Nagini’s bite, but the wound bleeds continually and resists all attempts at closing it. A ritual held on the summer solstice might help, but it needs a wizard of immense power to conduct the healing rite—and Severus cannot believe that Harry Potter really wants to help him.
Author’s Notes: The first of my “From Litha to Lammas” fics being posted between the Summer Solstice and the first of August. A request from goddess47 for Severus teaching Harry about Solstice rituals and something happy-making.
