In another room, at the top of a cold and draughty tower, the activities in the Headmaster's room were being watched.
"Is this the best picture you can get?" said the voice.
Sybill tapped the snow globe, but the picture remained as fuzzy as ever. "It looks like... I mean, the aetherial plane is disturbed, and the way is not clear," she intoned.
"I didn't believe that nonsense when I hired you, Sybill; save it for the first years."
"Death hasn't improved you," she muttered. She took a walnut from the bowl next to her, and applied the nucrackers with unnecessary but heartfelt force. "I thought I was free of you."
"So did he, and look where that got him," the voice replied coldly. A dead man is less sensitive to the thought of his knackers being crushed in a vice. The worst has already happened.
"They're coming to find us," she said. "Doesn't that worry you?"
"They're coming to find you," the voice replied. "That should worry you. They don't know I'm here. And if you tell them, they won't believe you."
Sybill smiled sourly, and reached for another walnut. "My money's on Snape."
The voice was silent. It worried Sybill when it did that, because she didn't know what it was thinking, though she wasn't sure she ever really wanted to understand her companion.
"I think we need to sober him up," Lucius said. "Before we go any further."
"I don't want to be sober," Severus protested. "It's nicer being inebria..inebr.. shtoned. The world is all fluffy round the edges, and it has this rosy glow. I like it."
Lucius shook his head. "I'm sorry, but it has to be done."
Severus looked mutinous, until Hermione said, "Severus, dear, you're on no condition to have a threesome at the moment, what with the likely effect on your performance... and well, I'd feel I was taking advantage of you."
Lucius blinked. "And what's wrong with that... oh right, sorry. Yes, we'd feel terribly guilty if this was something you didn't really want."
Severus laughed. "Guilty?"
"All right, she'd feel guilty. I'd worry that you might hex me in the morning - does that sound more believable?"
Severus nodded. "Promise?"
"I promise," Hermione said. "Threesome, if you sober up, and after the mystery is solved."
"Ok, if I can have a kiss now," Severus replied, believing that a bird in the hand was worth the later offer of a hand in a bush.
"Fine," Lucius said. "I'd agree to ice-skating if it would get you back to normal."
"I didn't mean yo..." Severus' protest was cut short. Lucius, having no qualms about taking advantage of anyone, had stepped closer, pulled Snape to him, and kissed him with all the artifice a Malfoy could master. It turned out to be rather a lot. By the time Severus was released, he was flushed and panting, and wholly convinced that whoever stood between him and his promised threesome needed to die swiftly.
As was Hermione. She coughed.
"And?" she said.
"Very nice," said Severus.
"I don't think that's quite what she meant." Lucius grinned. "I think she's feeling rather left out."
"Oh," Severus said. "Then why is she over there."
"He's not at his best," Lucius said to Hermione. "Do forgive him." He then put a hand to Severus' back and shoved him towards Hermione. "Not that he's ever been that good with girls. I'd like to tell you that if he were sober, we'd be bending you over the Headmaster's desk in a deviant and athletic position, but ..."
"That candle thingie would get in the way," Severus said. "Besides, I want to be in a bed for this. Because I fully intend to reduce Hermione to sucha state of boneless contentment that she can't move let alone drape artfully over a desk."
"Oh bravo, Severus, bravo," Lucius said softly, as Severus made good the first stage of his plan by kissing Hermione soundly.
