"Severus," Lucius murmured as he swept past the approaching figure.
"Lucius," Snape responded.
Harry blinked to see his erstwhile professor, but Draco didn't seem surprised at all.
"Hullo, Severus!" he said, greeting the imposing figure with a smile. I didn't know you were in the neighbourhood today.
Snape raised an eyebrow. "It appears everyone is in this neighbourhood today, Draco. The traffic in and out of this establishment has been quite brisk. I thought I was aware of what your new business venture was, but perhaps I misunderstood. Have you branched out into procurement? And is Potter today's beneficiary?"
Blushing furiously, Harry bit his lip. Was everyone aware that he was on the market?
"That's just the nature of the Matchmaking Spell, Professor," Neville said quietly. "It seems a bit busy in the beginning but then it settles down."
Snape regarded Neville for a moment before nodding. "I see, Mr. Longbottom. That does, in fact, make sense."
Harry was pleased to see that Neville didn't seem cowed by Snape at all, and that Snape afforded him a good measure of respect.
"Well, and this is for Potter," Draco said. "Turns out he's very popular."
"Indeed." Snape's eyes raked over Harry. "I suppose I shouldn't be surprised."
"I am still here, you know," Harry muttered, tired of being talked about as if he wasn't present.
A smirk tipped Snape's mouth. "Yes, you are. Anyway, Draco, I came in to let you know that the potions you ordered are ready. I shan't interrupt the... parade." With a bow towards Harry, Snape spun and left.
"Hm, guess he's not your type," Neville said. "It didn't look as if the spell affected him at all."
"Yeah, I guess," Harry said, eyeing Snape's back thoughtfully.
"Well, so thats it, Potter," Draco said briskly. "The spell is now in place and working to bring your perfect mate to you." He stood up and brushed at his robes. "I'll be in touch in a day or so to see how it's going. Coming, Neville?"
"Sure, but I thought we could wait for Harry to finish his drink, though."
Draco pouted slightly. "You're waiting for him?"
"Yes, Draco, it's only right, after all. We did drag him here. It's hardly nice to leave him to drink alone."
"Drink alone?" an amused voice said. "We can't have that. I'm happy to drink with you, Harry."
Harry spun, grinning at the very familiar owner of that voice.
