Severus was surprisingly hard to convince that there was something wrong. A man who is a spy is paranoid, a man who is a double agent is exponentially more twitchy.
Severus just smiled a lot and told them there was nothing to worry about.
"For Merlin's sake, man," thundered Lucius. "Have you been at the toddies already."
Severus frowned, slightly, but the expected tirade did not materialise.
Hermione gave Severus a long, hard look. "Drugs," she said succintly. "I've never seen him this happy. It can only be artificial."
Severus swayed a little on the spot.
"It's almost a shame to snap him out of it," Lucius said. "He's almost sweet like this."
"Where are the other guests," Hermione asked.
Severus blinked twice, then his extreme paranoia kicked in. "They should be here by now," he said. He strode to the open front door, robes swirling round his ankles, and looked out into the silent night.
"We're in trouble," Severus said."
