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.

	"I can't see Ginny trying to force you to eat third helpings of everything set in front of you," Harry pointed out. Maybe if he just didn't look at the empty chair beside him, he could pretend that whole scene hadn't happened. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Snape nodded, conceding the point. He glanced toward Draco, but the boy was still avoiding his gaze. What had he done now? Sighing, Severus turned his attention to his plate. "At the risk of sounding like Molly, you should try eating, it's quite good." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Harry bowed his head and picked up his fork only to set it back down again. "I'm really not that hungry." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Severus studied Harry for a moment, then nodded. "I doubt Narcissa could get any angrier if you wish to leave." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Harry glanced down the table to the Malfoy matron and sighed. "I've already ruined her gathering enough. I can stay here until the meal is over." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I'd offer to take you to the pub afterward, but I'd rather not turn you in to a lush," Severus replied, a small smile on his face. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	dh_harry 2007-09-29 05:43 am UTC (link)
	"Would being a lush make things easier?" Harry asked, unable to keep his tone entirely joking. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Unfortunately, no." Though it was undoubtedly a tempting idea, Severus had managed not to drown himself in alcohol on a regular basis. The other night was more of an aberration than the norm. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Pity," Harry groused, "that was starting to sound like a good idea." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"What are you plans for finishing school? Obviously you're behind, but you could still sit for your NEWTs if you studied. I would be willing to tutor you," Severus said, as if it were of no consequence. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	dh_harry 2007-09-29 09:42 pm UTC (link)
	"You would?" Harry hadn't meant to sound so floored by the idea, but then again this was Snape. Snape, the man who could barely stand his presence for an hour in school, was willing to tutor him so he could sit through his NEWTs. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I haven't a job and nothing better to do," Severus said, shrugging. "Until I build up a clientèle, I'm not going to be very busy." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	dh_harry 2007-09-30 12:51 am UTC (link)
	"I--you really would?" Harry repeated, turning in his seat so he was facing Snape completely. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	professorsnark 2007-09-30 12:54 am UTC (link)
	Severus picked up his napkin and dabbed the corner of his mouth and looked at Harry. "If you wish. Do you still have plans to be an Auror? It will require doing well on your NEWTs." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	dh_harry 2007-09-30 12:59 am UTC (link)
	"I don't know," Harry muttered. He cocked his head to the side, trying to see if he could figure out what Snape was playing at, but there wasn't anything, not even in his tone that Harry could sense as false. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Severus could see the question in Harry's eyes and it made him sigh. "Whether you wish to be an Auror or not, if you do well on your NEWTs, you will have choices opened for," he said wearily.

He glanced at Draco, who was at least smiling now Tonks, even if he wouldn't look at him. Severus wanted Draco to have choices as well, but he was afraid that would never happen.

	"They're open already," Harry muttered, thinking of all the Prophet articles and personal job offers that had been slowly trickling in. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	professorsnark 2007-09-30 01:18 am UTC (link)
	"The offer stands if you would like to think about it," Severus replied, pushing around the food on his plate with his fork. He really shouldn't care what Harry chose to do with his future, but he knew he didn't want him an unwitting pawn of anyone else. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	dh_harry 2007-09-30 01:22 am UTC (link)
	"I need to finish my NEWTs. I--I--I just can't go back to school when it reopens, I just can't." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	professorsnark 2007-09-30 01:24 am UTC (link)
	That was a feeling that Severus understood very well. "Nor can I," he admitted softly. Lucius was looking at him curiously, so he forced his expression to remain passive. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Where would we do this then? If I agree and you still want to?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	professorsnark 2007-09-30 01:33 am UTC (link)
	"I would insist that Potions be done in my personal lab. Everything else can be done wherever you wish." Severus frowned. "Where are you living, Potter? Surely not with your relatives." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	dh_harry 2007-09-30 01:40 am UTC (link)
	"I'm not living anywhere actually," Harry admitted, eyes downcast. "I've been staying at the castle." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	professorsnark 2007-09-30 01:54 am UTC (link)
	Severus' frown deepened. He was about to ask why Harry wasn't staying at the Burrow, but that answer had become painfully obvious. "Have you any plans?" Harry had no shortage of family now to take him in, though the very idea of Harry living with James or Black turned his stomach. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	dh_harry 2007-09-30 02:02 am UTC (link)
	"No, I could stay with Remus and Tonks," Harry murmured, glancing across the table at Tonks, "but they've got enough to worry about with Teddy, and other issues." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
