Title: Christmas with the Snapes, VI
Challenge: one of the following, pretty much at random: London, Prostitution, Lexicon, Shower, Jelly, Etiolated, Portrait
Word Count: 100
Pairing: Snape/Lupin
Note: Severus takes his new boyfriend home to meet his Muggle cousins. Set about three months after New York Minute.


The child, a girl, swallowed hard and let the quivering jelly slop back onto its plate. "I didn't do nothing, I swear, I didn't - "

Severus waved at the door to the lounge, which obediently shut itself, and cast an obscurantus on the room. This was clearly not the first time she had been caught doing something out of the ordinary.

"You're Robbie's girl. From London, I believe."

She nodded jerkily.

"I'm Severus, Gemma's cousin." It was like approaching a unicorn foal to ask for a few tail hairs. "How long have you been able to do this?"
