Action Scene: The Malfoy Dinner

Everything was set to perfection. The fine china was set out, the house elves were dressed in fancy clothes, and Narcissa waited patiently in the living room for her guests to arrive.

	"Pus is a sure guarantee that no one will touch you," Snape returned. And Draco wouldn't get anywhere near you. He didn't like that Potter wouldn't meet his eyes. Where was the young man who woke up in bed without the slightest bit of fear? "Would you like a bit of fresh air? I've felt the walls closing in all evening and could use a break before dinner."

	Harry did look up then and nodded. Why hadn't he thought of that before? "Please." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Follow me." Snape lead him along the outskirts of the group, ignoring the look he was getting from Lucius as he lead Potter to the doors to the terrace. Once outside, he closed the doors behind them, blocking out the noise. "Merlin I hate these gatherings." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Then why did you agree to come?" Harry asked mulishly, trying to keep up with Snape's long strides towards the doors. "No one forced you either." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"When it comes to the Malfoy's, I have learned that if I do not come to these things, I end up blindsided by one plot or another they've devised. If I hadn't, I wouldn't have learned of their plans for you." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Harry leaned against the railing and looked down onto a budding rose bush. The warm night air caressed his skin, heating him. "And what are these plans?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"To use your name to get in to the good graces of society. I have no doubt that word of this little gathering will reach the Prophet by morning." Snape sighed. He genuinely cared for Narcissa, Draco and even Lucius, but at times their methods appalled him. "You've been a pawn long enough, Potter. I'll not stand by and let it happen again."

	"And here I thought I had the hero complex," Harry muttered, glancing over his shoulder to where Snape stood. "It'll only work if I let them use me again. One dinner party to boost their name is different than repeated gatherings and so forth. They can only make me do this once." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Not a hero complex, Potter, habit. I was tasked with your survival only to find out you were to be sacrificed anyway," Snape said bitterly. "That you survived at all is still a mystery to me, but I have no intention of letting the wolves have you now."

"The Malfoys can be very subtle, Potter. Chance meetings that have nothing to do with chance. Dropping your name with the right people." He looked at Harry, folding his arms across his chest. "Seduction if need be."

	"By who?" Harry blurted out before he could sense himself. He ducked his head to hide his flaming cheeks and cursed himself angrily in his head. That was exactly the sort of comment he hadn't wanted to say. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"The better question would be who wouldn't," Snape snorted. He looked curiously at Harry. "While there are gaps in my memory of our conversation the other night, I do recall what you said about Miss Weasley." He looked out over the garden. "However, you seemed cozy enough this evening," he said, fingers unconsciously tightening on the railing. "I never thought of you as the type to string someone along. Or are you only honest with yourself when you are drunk?"

Draco frowned a little as he listened to Potter talk about being used. His head when jerked up in surprise when Severus told him the plan. He had told Severus in confidence, and now he was telling Potter. Draco looked away from the door, frowning as he looked around the room. No one seemed to have noticed that Potter was missing and Andie was still preoccupied with Teddy. He turned back to the door. So Potter did spend the night, he thought as he continued to listen. His forehead furrowed in confusion, as Severus' voice sounded..hurt, betrayed? when he mentioned Potter bringing the She-Weasley.

Why would it matter?, something his Mother had said came back to him. His eyes widened, Severus was interested in Potter? But Severus knew Potter was his only option out of an arranged marriage, surely Severus wasn't selfish enough to actually pursue Potter. He waited for Severus to tell Potter that he needed him, and that this wasn't a game to him, but Severus didn't defend him.

Draco turned away feeling inexplicably hurt. His Godfather selfish, how could he have forgotten that? Severus would do what he wanted regardless of who was hurt in the process, even him. He slipped back to Andie's side, stomach churning sickly.

	Harry exhaled softly and leaned his head against his hands. "I don't know," he muttered, rubbing his forehead. He felt exhausted physically and mentally. "I really don't. I've been ignoring her, and I just..." He shook his head and turned around to face the house. "I don't want to hurt her." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I'm sure that will serve you well when you're married with three children," Snape replied humorlessly. He shouldn't have been so irritated by the very sight of her clinging to Potter, but watching the two of them together had made his stomach turn. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Three?" Harry snorted, and leaned back against the cool railing. "Please tell me you're joking. I don't think I'm even cut out for one." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"You seemed to do fine with Lupin's br-- child. They named you Godfather didn't they?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"They did, but with Teddy its different," Harry said, glancing over at Snape. "I know if he starts crying I can hand him off to someone else without feeling guilty because he's not mine." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Snape snorted. "I suggest you don't tell Weasley that, or else I'm sure you'll find her pregnant at the first opportunity." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	dh_harry 2007-09-28 12:59 am UTC (link)
	Harry winced. "As much as I don't want to be with her any longer, sir. I have to ask you don't say things like that about her either. I still love her," Harry stated in a quiet tone, "just not the way she wants me to." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	professorsnark 2007-09-28 01:03 am UTC (link)
	Snape sneered, but said nothing as he looked out over the gardens. "I asked you once already not to call me, sir." He looked sideways at Harry. "It's inappropriate considering you've been in my bed," he said softly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	dh_harry 2007-09-28 01:08 am UTC (link)
	"What do you want me to call you then?" Harry asked in a whisper, twisting on the railing to lean on it sideways. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Snape," he answered, turning to face Harry. He had to force his eyes away from Harry's lips. "Severus if you wish." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Harry hummed low in his throat and gazed at the closed doors. "I never thought any place here could be peaceful." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
