Chapter Text
‘Professor?’
‘Hmpf?’
‘Can you open your eyes and look at me, please?’
‘Arrrgh. Hurts’
‘Hurts? How much did you drink last night, Professor?’
‘As much as I could get my hands on, clearly’.
‘I see…no wonder you weren’t down for breakfast. Hey, hey, stop. You’re tensing up. I can see it even without magic. Just relax, ok?’
‘I am relaxed. Or was, before you came in and ruined it’.
Sigh. ‘Fine, then. I’ll leave you alone to sulk. But I’d like you down for dinner tonight, ok?
‘Do I have a choice?’
A long pause. ‘I guess not’.
’Fine’
‘See you at 6 then’.
‘Aaaargh’.
‘Potter, what are you doing?’
‘Huh?’
‘Why are you…staring at me?’
‘I’m just…really glad you’re here, sir’.
‘Idiot’.
The door closed, and Snape stared up at the ceiling.
‘Yes, well. So am I, all in all’.
