Another Idea

~

Severus woke with Harry curled around him. Thinking longingly of the tea they’d missed at Malfoy Manor, he decided to make supper. But as he shifted, Harry, making an annoyed sound in his sleep, clung.

“I’m not going far,” Severus whispered, smiling. “No long train rides. I’m just starting supper.”

Still asleep, Harry sighed, releasing Severus.

Chuckling, Severus got up. Retrieving his dressing robe, he shook his head upon seeing Harry had taken the opportunity to sprawl all over the bed.

Once in the kitchen, Severus prepared a simple supper of sausages and mash, and just as he’d finished, Harry entered looking deliciously rumpled, low-slung sleep pants barely hanging on his hips.

“Smells good,” Harry said, yawning. “I’m ravenous.”

“Probably because we didn’t manage a proper tea,” Severus said, dishing Harry a plate.

“Yeah.” Harry smiled his thanks before digging in. “It’s a shame, too. Some of that stuff looked good.”

“Next time, perhaps,” Severus said.

Harry froze. “Next time? You mean we’re doing that again?”

“Eventually. I doubt Narcissa will allow matters to stand as they are. Plus, you did agree to try.”

“Yeah,” Harry sighed, looking as if he regretted that decision. He brightened. “But it should be several weeks before that happens, right?”

“More than likely,” Severus agreed, amused. “So, are you eager to return to work tomorrow?”

“Yes and no,” said Harry. “It’s been brilliant spending time with you, but I’m curious about the case.” He paused. “And it’s going to be Ron’s last day soon. I’m not looking forward to that.”

“I imagine not,” Severus said. “But, as they say, the clearest way into a universe is through a forest wilderness. As you’ll get your pick of new partners, perhaps you’ll create an even better team.”

“Maybe.” Harry shrugged. “I’ll deal with that when it happens.”

“Wise,” Severus said. “So, what would you like to do this evening?”

Harry’s smile was tentative. “Actually I’ve one idea—”

Severus raised an eyebrow. “Again? I really should brew some stamina potion—”

“Not that!” Harry coughed. “Well, yes that, but that wasn’t what I meant.”

“What did you mean?”

“I thought we could go to Grimmauld, and you could clear the air with Sirius.”

oÔ Oh boy. Harry is going to make Severus pay, isn't he? And that's his idea for the evening?! (Well, for the first half of the evening, at last...)

I can almost imagine how it will turn out: Severus will decline going at first and after being cajoled by Harry and having had a nerve-wracking shouting match (or rather shouting war) with Sirius he will make Harry sleep on the couch. Without a blanket. And no cushions. There.

(As you can see, I can't wait to see if I might have been going in the right direction with that - a bit, at least. Maybe.)

Thank you, dear alisanne! ^^
