The Goblin King stared at them, a mix of horror and confusion on his face. He slowly raised one gloved hand to point at Snape. "You!"
Severus' lips lifted into a cruel smirk. "Hullo, your Majesty."
"Snake! You…you're the one who beat my Labyrinth!" Jareth exclaimed, stalking forward.
Severus stood his ground, ignoring the Order of the Phoenix as they shifted nervously behind him. He'd led them through the Goblin King's Labyrinth, in search of Harry Potter. The idiot boy had wished himself away.
Jareth slowly reached out to cup Snape's face in his palm, magic tingling over Severus' cheek from the light touch. Suddenly, he was again in his 16-year-old form. Jareth smiled. "Ah! My little Severus!" He purred, pulling Snape closer.
Severus twitched and pulled away. "We're here for Potter." He said sharply, voice breaking on the last syllable from disuse.
"Yes, yes. Well, come long then. You of course, know how this goes. We fight, you win, you keep the boy. We fight, I win, I keep the boy, and you." Jareth turned to walk into his castle, but Severus shouted after him.
"Me? Excuse me, Jareth, but you cannot bargain me away like that on a whim. We'll be using the same deal I used to get Sylvia back." Severus snapped, standing with his arms crossed over his chest.
Jareth grinned. "That was a very nice deal. Alright. You get your Potter boy, I shag you." Severus winced and ignored the startled gasps from the Order.
He nodded and began to walk after the Goblin King. "Severus! You don't have to! We'll find another way!" Dumbledore cried after him.
Severus looked over his shoulder and said, a smirk tugging at his lips, "It's alright, Albus. Jareth isn't so bad in bed." Then, he followed Jareth into the castle, the massive iron doors swinging shut behind him.
The second they were in the castle, Jareth returned him to his 37-year-old self. "21 years, Severus. I can't believe it. All these years later, and I'm still lusting after you like a fifteen year old." Jareth sighed.
Snape smirked. Then, Jareth led him into the bedroom.
About an hour later, Snape walked out of the castle, Harry in tow.
