He glared down at the box he had shoved in the drawer for the millionth time. It was assumed that he'd wear a costume that matched his personality. He scowled as he remembered the contents once more: a harlequin. A clown? There had to be some mistake. He, Severus Snape, was no clown.

"Honey, stop worrying. Wearing a harlequin costume isn't that bad, you know? It could've been worse."

"Sure, whatever you say. I still don't believe it. Argyle does not suit me. Nor do bells. I refuse to accept this nonsense–and what do you have to wear?"

"I don't know," Harry confessed. "I'm afraid to find out. It could be anything."

"There's nothing worse than going as a harlequin. If you'd like, we can swap costumes."

"So it's a shame for you to go as a harlequin? I wouldn't mind. But if we trade, it means we're giving in."

"Yes, yes, whatever you say. Take the damn box."

"Thanks, honey! I don't understand why they say you're such a dungeon bat because you're positively lovely!"

Harry disappeared from the office without realizing the face of horror on Severus's face when he found his new costume: Batman.
