Action Scene: Wherein Harry and Snape get drunk at the Hogshead


This was simply unacceptable. Coming back from the dead, even if few realized he had ever been dead, was turning into a walking nightmare. Severus opened the door to the Hogshead and went straight to the bar, not bothering to look at the other occupants. It wasn't as if the Hogshead had a stellar clientèle , which was a fact he was counting on tonight. He wouldn't mind losing himself amongst the dregs of humanity and a bottle of bad liquor.

"Whiskey. I'll take the bottle," he said, tossing some coins on to the counter.

The barman merely grunted and handed Severus a spotted glass along with a bottle of whiskey. He immediately poured himself a shot, drank it down and reveled in the burn as it went down his throat. He wiped his mouth with the back of his hand, then went in search of a table, preferably in a dark corner. Severus scowled when he realized the darkest corner was already occupied. He was about to find another place to drink his sorrows away, when he recognized the mess of shaggy hair.

Sneering, he walked to the table and sat down, placing the bottle in the middle of the table. "You shouldn't be here, Potter."
