"You could have worked with Mother," Q tells him. Joy. He nods. He read some of the articles just because Severus wrote them. Light reading they are not. "Not like that Severus. I mean like fiction. Stories. You'd be a dab hand at murder mysteries I'll wager. Or, if you'd ever considered singing, you could do a wonderful Louis Armstrong now." Though the idea of Severus Snape singing 'What a Wonderful World' boggles his mind more than a little.
Q chokes, not sure if laughter would be appreciated. "You're quite probably still anemic," Q tells him, though he doubtless already knows that. "Any of those vials have any iron compounds in them?" He hunches over. "It's just as well," Q says. "I'm not a very good cook. But a little something wouldn't do you any harm. Maybe some toast? I can do toast. Barely." He's pushing, he knows, and expects to be called on it.
Louis Armstrong recorded a song called 'Muggles' in 1928! Neat huh? It's a slang term for marijuana users, which makes me wonder just what JKR was smoking? ;)
