Prolog No Use in Denying
"Are you going to eat at all this evening, Severus, or are you just going to sit there and daydream about my niece?" Minerva teases him,
"I haven't the slightest idea as to what you're talking about," The potions Master denies.
"Oh, come now, Severus! I've seen the way you both look at each other, so there's really no reason to deny it! She's not going to make a move until you do, and she's given you plenty of time to do it." Minerva pushes.
"You're right, Minerva." Severus agrees, standing up.
She smiles victoriously, but in surprise.
"There's no reason to deny it because it doesn't exist." He adds, wiping the smile off of her face.
He smirks at her before leaving the great hall.
She gets the chance to return the expression a week later when she 'accidently' walks in on him kissing a young woman whom she just happened to be related to.
