HP drabble: Refusal [Harry/Severus, general]
Title: Refusal Author: celandineb Fandom: HP Pairing: Harry/Severus Rating: general Length: 150 words Summary: Harry wants something, but he has to convince Severus first. Note: For torino10154, from accioslash, who suggested Snape/Harry, "no".
"No." Severus didn't actually glare at Harry, but gave the impression that he might at any moment.
"No?" Harry widened his eyes and let his lower lip stick out.
"I said no, and I meant it." Severus turned another page of Potions Quarterly. "Don't pout. Malfoy used to pout all the time when I had the misfortune of being his Head of House. It's bad enough in an adolescent, but absolutely insufferable in an adult."
Harry changed tactics. "What if I do all the cooking and all the washing-up for a week?" he bargained.
"You already owe me a month of that, for my birthday present," Severus reminded him, examining an illustration.
"All right, how about if I..." Harry began to whisper in Severus's ear.
By the time he moved his head back, he saw with satisfaction that Severus's face was flushed and his breath coming fast.
