Summary: Headmaster Snape and Professor Potter attend a conference. Sort of.
A/N: Unbetaed.
As they left the final seminar of the morning, Harry turned to Severus with a hopeful look on his face. "So, lunch, and then maybe some sightseeing? I want to try that delicatessen we saw in town."
The Headmaster shook his head. "Why did we come here? Not to sightsee. This conference is an excellent opportunity to meet with magical educators from all over the world. Think of what we have learned already!" He bent his steps toward the river bridge along the Rue Claude Goudemel, Harry beside him. "There are three programs this afternoon that apply to us. You were specifically interested in the one on warding."
"I know," Harry replied. "But I thought it was going to be another miscellaneous university city. Besançon is interesting. That fortification on the bluff above town! I heard there's a museum and an insectarium up there."
"You heard, did you? Perhaps in one of the brochures you were reading at breakfast?"
Unrepentant, Harry pulled the pamphlets from his bag and held them out. "And see? Here's an astronomical clock in the cathedral. Wouldn't Dumbledore have loved it!"
Snape tugged the slick leaflets from his grasp and looked at them. "I believe the great clock in the entrance at home was designed by a Besançon clockmaker," he said. He flipped to the next one and read further. "This looks like a very nice archeological museum." He shook his head again, this time with resignation. "You are a bad influence, Harry Potter. All right. Let's have lunch and see the town. I'm sure we can get this afternoon's materials from one of the other attendees."
Laughing, Harry pointed across the street. There was a group of three wizards turning into the doorway of the museum Snape had just mentioned, and behind them, another group they also knew from the conference. "I don't know about that. It might be a thin crowd at the seminars this afternoon!"
Harry and Severus are theoretically attending a conference in Besançon, France.
