Challenge #224: Snape Flies.
"With a tingle of horror, Harry saw in the distance a huge, bat like shape flying through the darkness toward the perimeter wall." (from Deathly Hallows)
That "bat like shape" is Severus Snape, of course. While it's possible that the word 'flying' there is used in a metaphoric sense, it's far more interesting to think of Snape as really having the ability to fly. So...this week's challenge is to write a drabble in which Snape and flight are the focus. (Note: if you are in the "Snape can't really fly" camp, "Snape's on a Plane" is a perfectly acceptable substitute *g*)

A/N: The Moderator's comment cannot go unanswered.
Portkeys were quick but nauseating. The flue network was limited in scope. Broomstick-flying was tiring, cold and left your hair in knots. Apparition all the way to San Francisco would have taken more power than he could generate anymore, even going by steps.
But this Muggle invention was not bad at all. His publisher had gotten him first class tickets on Virgin Airlines (he wondered at the name).
The flight attendants offered him food, drink, massages and manicures. His seat reclined so he could sleep or there were dozens of movies to watch instead.
He could get used to this.

A Little Bit of Pixie Dust
“Please, Severus, I want to know how to do it,” said Rodolphus quietly, watching the man float around the parlor.
Severus landed. “You can’t show Bella. I doubt she could do it anyway.”
“Oi! I’ll have you know that my wife’s magical prowess—”
“No, the thing is, you have to hold a little bit of powdered pixie heart and think a happy thought.”
“Oh. Oh, I see your point, then.”
“Quite.”
“And your happy thoughts, then?”
“Oh, you know, poison testing days, Lucius Malfoy in the shower.”
“You just ruined my happy thought.”
And Snape began to fly again.
