Chapter 2:
Lucius Malfoy And Severus Snape Have A Mean Set Of Wheels
Lucius Malfoy's face appeared in Snape's fireplace.. "Hello Lucius," Snape said, putting down his quill, "What is it?" "You simply must come over here, NOW!" Lucius hissed excitedly, "I have to show you something!" Snape sighed deeply. "Alright, give me half an hour to get to the border of the Hogwarts grounds," he said, and wearily started to get up from his desk chair.
Half an hour later he was standing on the terrace at the back of Malfoy Mansion, looking, to his surprise, at a scruffy bicycle, and at Lucius, who was gazing down at it fondly. The bicycle had, rather amateurishly, been painted black, with silver frills on the handlebars. At the back of the bicycle, there was a little black flagpole, with a flag on it saying "MM".
"Isn't it beautiful???" Lucius sighed.
"It's just a bicycle." Snape shrugged.
"It's not JUST A BICYCLE!" Lucius said in an offended voice. "It's the MalfoyMobile!!"
"...Riight." Snape replied, staring at the bicycle.
"Oh, and guess what?" Lucius said, grinning in a scarily cheerful way, "I've got something for you, too!" Immediately he ran towards a large object to Snape's right, which was covered in what he considered to be a rather poncy dust cover with green and silver unicorns on it. Lucius pulled the cover away, revealing a small, lumpy moped, painted gold in the same amateuristic fashion as the bicycle. It had the same little flagpole at the back, this time carrying a banner saying "SS".
Snape's eyes widened. "What's THAT??" he exclaimed, fearing the worst.
"THAT is the Snape Scooter." Lucius said. "Now we can go everywhere together!"
Snape sighed again. "Lucius," he said, very slowly, "You're a wizard. You don't NEED a bicycle. Nor do you need a scooter."
"No?" Lucius asked disappointedly, fingering the dust cover that he was still holding.
"No." Snape said.
They were silent for a while. "Hey, wanna go throw pebbles at Potter's dorm window?" Snape said, finally.
"Yeah, sure," Lucius said, and they walked away into the glorious sunset.
