Mission Impossible

"Severus, are you arguing with me?"

"Sir? No, Milord."

"I thought not. Yet, I sense fear in your mind. Fear of myself – naturally - but also fear of this task. Fear of failure. You will not fail. Do you understand?"

"No, there has been no mistake. My orders were clear enough. You can follow them."

"Milord," Severus murmered, inclining his head.

"Rise, Severus. Repeat to me your instructions."

"You wish for me to learn the violin."

"Precisely," the Dark Lord purred, shaming a contented cat.

Please review – it only takes a couple of seconds, and, as all authors out there know, it really does make your day.
