A/N: I wonder if you love or hate me for starting so many stories at once. I certainly hate myself for this because I end up with so many plots in my mind that I have to neglect some to update the others and that's not fair...
Well... these are going to be very short chapters because it's a short story... (at least, that's what I hope) but I promise to update soon ;)

The Potions master cleared his throat to make his presence noticeable to the man behind the desk. The Headmaster was so concentrated on his task that hadn't even heard the teacher knocking the door. He raised his eyes and left the parchment and the quill on his hand aside.
"Oh, Severus, I am so thankful you came..."
"You told me so, sir..."
"Yes, yes, right..." Dumbledore seemed more absent-minded than usually. "I..." he paused like giving time for his subordinate to pay special attention, "I have arranged a meeting with a new informer that will meet you in London on Friday, he works for the Ministry and I believe he knows things related to the imprisoned Death Eaters that may be of our interest; I also need you to brew a miscarrying potion the soon as possible, and to owl these letters immediately..." he said handing them to the man standing in front of him, who remained motionless for a long moment. "Any question, Severus?" the headmaster wondered.
"Did I hear you need a miscarrying potion?" Snape asked.
"You heard right, if that's it..."
"No, of course it's not it. You can't ask me for a miscarrying potion and not say me anything else... Which friend of yours have you left pregnant?"
"First of all, I haven't left anyone pregnant; and secondly, this time I can't share with you the reason of my requirement and you'll just have to follow it."
Severus left the office of the Headmaster filled with curiosity; not that he was actually interested on the name of the woman the potion was for, but on the fact that Albus Dumbledore, who seemed to take perfectionism everywhere around him, had made a mistake... because Severus hadn't believed it when the Headmaster had denied to be the father of the baby-not-to-be-born.
