Parvati felt a little torn at this moment. It was entirely possible that Draco would certainly not be pleased if Parvati made an enemy of Severus, but perhaps more likely not pleased with his mentor. Her gaze flickered a moment before she directly met Snape's gaze once more. "And I should play nice because otherwise I will be punished by my husband? Oh, Professor," She sighed, "You can tell Draco if you wish, but I think you have misunderstood. Draco is not my Lord and Master. Don't get me wrong, he is certainly the head of this house, but we are also equals. I'm well aware that in society I am expected to be a submissive wife, but do you honestly believe Draco would go for such a woman?"
"I will play the role for everyone, because I want our Party to succeed, and I want Draco to succeed, and I love him more than anything." There was a fierceness to her voice at that. "But in my own home, I will certainly not let anyone bully me, and trust me when I say that Draco will not raise his hand against me for that, but will rather stand behind me, whether or not I have to do some ear tweaking." She smiled wryly.
"Please don't think I'm an idiot, Professor. Draco is my husband and I will defer to him when I have to, but our relationship works because he respects me and I respect him, he is strong and so am I."
"My earlier arguments were not that of a disobedient wife that has yet to be tamed, but of a woman who wants to make nice with you for the sake of a man who we both obviously care for. You can fight it all you want, Professor, but it's going to happen. So? Truce?"
