Another little dialogue scene, alternating between the two main characters. The style is to not have any narrative, or 'he said''s. This takes place after the Big Final Battle. trumpets here
And now…
To Go Forth…
"Potter."
"Professor Snape."
"Is there a particular reason why you are inflicting your presence on me?"
"I wanted to talk to you, sir."
"And this could not be expressed in a written form?"
"A little hard to get response from a quill."
"Potter…"
"…responses from a quill, sir."
"Thank you. May I beg to know the topic of this great dialogue you wished to have?"
"I wanted to ask you a question, sir."
"That would be what?"
"What do I do now?"
"That is your question, Potter? 'What do I do now?'"
"Yes."
"What kind of inane question is that, Potter?"
"One I would like your advice on, sir."
"I take it you mean your immediate future? Years not minutes?"
"Yes, sir."
" 'Where do I go from here, Professor?' "
"Exactly, sir."
"Why are you asking? Surely ever your Gryffindor brain can come up with a few possibilities."
"Why are you avoiding answering the question?"
"I am trying to understand the question, you idiot."
"Allow me to explain then, sir. I would like to know where you think I should do with my life so that I am not thought of as the Boy-Who-Defeated-Voldemort and then did nothing else worthwhile, in his own eyes or in others. Where do I go from here?"
"Survive."
"What?"
"You heard me, Potter. Survive. See how you manage that."
"Survive, how, sir?"
"It would be an ironic end to be run over by a Muggle driver, don't you think?"
"And what else, sir?"
"What else is there?"
"Employment. What do you think I should be?"
"Be? Such a broad term, Potter. Fine insights were always beyond you."
"Are you done insulting me, sir?"
"No."
"Fine, then. Any other advice you'd like to impart?"
"Go out."
"Go where?"
"Go out into the world. Gain some actual experience. Disguise yourself and go."
"Go out, see the world, like Quirrell did? Who gets to stick out of the back of my skull?"
"I would hope to you're not that thick. You were considered for Slytherin, after all."
"Would you have likes me any better if I had let the Hat put me in Slytherin?"
"What is this talk of liking, Potter? I like very few of my students."
"Fine. Would you accepted me in Slytherin, or would I still have been James Potter's son?"
"It would not have taken me over 6 and a half years to realize that you weren't James Potter reincarnate. I would have taught you much more."
"Because I wasn't in Slytherin, you taught me less? Hardly acceptable behavior, sir. You're suppose to be unbiased."
"Gryffindor fairness never ceases to amaze me. The naïve thinking of it."
"Thank you, sir."
"Now get out, Potter."
