Tasteless Humours

Ron scowled at Snape before tossing back his morning cuppa; if anything could put him off breakfast, it was the Git across the table, particularly when he wouldn't be there except for Mione's bleeding heart.
Severus, watching, as always, with his attention apparently elsewhere, smiled thinly into his teacup.
"Oi, what're you laughing at?" Ron challenged.
"Nothing you could possibly appreciate, Mister Weasley," Snape drawled. And it was quite true. It certainly wasn't the ordinary way to go about winning a woman's heart, and her (soon-to-be-ex-)boyfriend certainly wouldn't 'appreciate' the tasteless poison he'd just guzzled with his tea.

ANs:The GS100 challenge was 'tasteless humor', and my brain came up with this by pulling the phrase apart. (It's also an instinct to try to see how I can turn challenges sideways, if not entirely on their heads.) I think there was also a scene from David Eddings(?) murbling in the back of my head, where the characters are discussing what a bad idea it is to win a woman by first killing her husband.
A token in the little review box is always much appreciated.
