Severus stirred the sugar into his tea slowly. Harry was still talking but Severus wasn't really listening.
"Draco's not so bad as a partner." This was the phrase tormenting him every time Harry went to work at the Ministry.
Severus knew Draco and while he found it difficult to believe he would be so foolish as to try to take something that was Severus's, he also knew the overtures towards Harry were anything but innocent.
"We have to go on a training exercise the latter part of next week," Harry said, pulling Severus out of his thoughts.
"I believe that Valentine's Day is Thursday," Severus said with a frown.
"It's not as if we mark the day, Severus," Harry replied with a sigh.
Severus thought he almost sounded sad but that wasn't possible. They'd never exactly celebrated in the seven years they'd been together.
"Where will you be going?" Severus asked, a kernel of an idea beginning to form in his mind. "I'd liked some details if you are to be away overnight."
"We're going to Liverpool, leaving Wednesday and coming back Friday. The Casartelli or something." Harry took a bite of his toast. "What?"
"Sounds romantic," Severus ground out.
"Perhaps next year you should plan to take me to a romantic hotel for Valentine's Day so Draco Malfoy doesn't beat you to it," Harry snapped. He glared for a moment and then Disapparated. Severus could tell he was just upstairs in the bedroom, stomping about as he finished dressing for work. A soft pop and silence told him Harry was gone.
Making a quick slashing motion with his wand, Severus put the dirty dishes in the sink and stormed off to his basement lab. He needed to brew as well as time to think.
