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--you really would?" Harry repeated, turning in his seat so he was facing Snape completely. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	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)

	"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)

	"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)

	"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)

	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)

	"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)

	"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)

	"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)

Severus fiddled with his fork, his eyes scanning the table. Everyone seemed to be involved in their own conversations. "I have a spare room you can use should it become necessary. Only temporarily of course, until you find your own place to live," he warned.

He didn't imagine Draco would be too pleased, but it appeared his Godson was angry with him anyway. "The room is considerably smaller than mine, or Draco's, but it would do."

	"You'd really--" Harry abruptly stopped speaking and grinned sheepishly. "Forget I even started that sentence." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Snape arched his brow in amusement. "Idiot," he muttered, stabbing a shrimp with his fork and popping it in to his mouth. "How often have you heard me tell you something just because I believed it was what you wished to hear?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	dh_harry 2007-09-30 02:33 am UTC (link)
	"Never. Unless some of the things you've said had been things I've wanted to hear. Which would be all well and good for you, but would show just how little you know me at all." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"You were correct with your first answer," Snape replied, rolling his eyes. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Harry laughed in surprise and had to muffle it with his hand. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Severus looked at Harry from the corner of his eye, and fought against a smile. Making Harry Potter laugh had been rather high on his list of things that would never happen. Perhaps coming back from the dead wasn't so bad after all. (Reply to this) (Parent)
