Scene Lotto!
Who: Maisie Cattermole and Severus Snape
What: Scene Lotto! Maisie thinks ~~Sevy~~ her former professor is a sexy-beast for about 3 hours.
When: July 27th, afternoon.
Where: Hogsmeade.
Rating/Warnings: TBA
Status: Complete/Closed

As a treat for having worked the past Saturday, Maisie was fortunate enough to take Tuesday off. It felt slightly odd to work one day and then take off, but they were already going to be short staffed on Wednesday, so she figured that she might as well take the reprieve while she could get it. With little planned, she decided it was as good a day as any to slip into Hogsmeade and pay a visit to her favorite candy shop in the world. She was running low on a few things, and it simply wouldn’t do. She needed Honeyduke’s chocolate, because no other in the world was quite the same.

Being so close to Hogwarts made her a bit reminiscent, and perhaps a little sad as well. She missed that castle sometimes, and all of the good times that she’d had there, even with all the bad mixed in. Still, it was hard to be in bad spirits when she was surrounded by the shelves of candy that guaranteed tonight she would be in a sugar-coma. She made her purchases wisely and even spend a little time chatting with the shopkeeper, just for the hell of it.

Walking back out onto the street, Maisie was a bit distracted as she rummaged through her candy bag, searching out a peppermint toad. Then again, paying attention to where she was going wasn’t Maisie’s finest attribute. With so few people milling around though, what harm could come of it?

Severus' eyes narrowed. Threats weren't going to work - he would have to try to sort this out in some way that didn't end in cursing her all the way down the street. She was obviously quite hopeless, and he couldn't stand around trying to reason with her when there was nothing to reason with in the first place. He could feel his face starting to burn out of irritation, sheer irritation.

"Listen to me," he said, straightening and glancing away - he was very good at reading faces, and there were some things he emphatically did not want to read. "Here's what you're going to do: you're going to go sit in - in the Three Broomsticks," where at least she wouldn't have her pocket picked, which was always something of a risk at the Hog's Head, "and you're going to wait. Do you understand? Three hours." He held up three fingers, just in case. If she wanted to assume he'd be coming back to join her, that was all to the good. Let her come to her senses alone.

She couldn't help it. Maisie clung to his every word as though it were a life-line. As if every word he spoke would be the most important word she would ever hear. So he was going to meet her in the Three Broomsticks, then? That wouldn't be so bad. That's were lots of couples had dates at Hogwarts. Oh, was it a date? Waiting there for three hours seemed a little extensive, but maybe there was something he really needed to do. Or maybe he thought she was beautiful too and was going to take those three hours to do something really special for her.

Her expression when she looked at him was perhaps a bit too trusting, but she didn't care, "Okay...and then you'll come meet me, right? Do you promise?" She wasn't going to go without a promise, not when she had him right here, right now. She'd trust him though, if he said he would. His words were golden.

"Absolutely," he said at once, with genuine relief. "I'll be sure to come as soon as I possibly can - if you wait, like I've asked you." He would even risk being seen and walk her to the door, he decided; it was only across the street and a few storefronts down, and had the added advantage of being the opposite direction from his house. And unless something had gone terribly, terribly wrong, the potion ought to wear off in a matter of hours. If it didn't ... well, he would most certainly first to know, wouldn't he. "This way." He extended his hand across the street, as if to show the way, and started off.

And if he saw anyone he knew on the way home, he was bloody well Obliviating them, no questions asked.

Once he'd promised to meet her, she had no qualms about parting ways with him, not really. She just had something to look forward to! Maybe while she waited she'd find someone to talk to, or she'd drink some tea like he had suggested earlier. She looked at her watch and noted when three hours would have passed, and then followed the path he had pointed out to her. Though, she couldn't help but call back towards him once she was at the door, "I'll see you in three hours, Sevy!" And then she disappeared into the pub to wait for the most handsome man on the face of the planet...oh, that Severus Snape.
