Harry Potter/Blaise Zabini "where everyone can see"

It was an unspoken tradition at Hogwarts that on New Year's Day, all the students and teachers would sleep in and no one would get up for breakfast. Lunch, however, was almost mandatory; thus, the professors and other students found it odd that two seventh years were missing, especially since they were Harry Potter and Blaise Zabini. Dumbledore quickly connected to Hogwarts' wards and posed a question to them, rather than sending the teachers out searching on a holiday; after all, Severus already looks as if he was going to rip something to shreds, no need to allow him to verbally flay any students.

"They are out by the lake," he announced genially, "But they are on their way back in now."

Moments later footsteps were heard and the two students entered the room. The teachers and a good many of the older students gaped as they looked at them. Harry's hair was even more ruffled than usual and his lips were pink and slightly swollen while Zabini looked much the same except his clothes were slightly askew and crumpled in places, as if someone had been holding them. Blaise escorted Harry to his seat and then they began to eat… ravenously.

Snape finally gathered his faculties. "Outside? Where everyone can see you?" he hissed dangerously, ignoring the whole Gryffindor Golden Boy/Slytherin issue for the moment.

"Why Professor Snape," drawled Blaise, "It sounds as if you suspect us of some sort of indecency."

Harry choked and blushed but Snape wasn't sure if it was from Zabini's words or from whatever Zabini's hand was doing under the table.
