Snape's POV
"Potter, if you are going to talk nonsense then could you please do it somewhere where I am not." I sneer at the child. The hate that I carried for this child has dissolved but him coming to my room almost at curfew and starting talking about wooing. I had my quota of stupid with the first years.
"Professor you know what it is that I am saying. I have seen you with Ron." the boy looked uncomfortable saying that. I blinked, that happened at night, he should not have been there.
"You do realize that you just told me that you have been out after curfew." The look on his face was one of the reasons I still work here, the look of 'shit.' "You speak nonsense, please leave before I give you detention and drag you to your dorms by your ears."
"No." He took a breath when he realized that he just told me no. "I need help and you will be the one that will do so."
"And why, pray merlin, will I do so?"
"You were in a seductive position and you ran when you could. I think there is a lot of people that would love to know that the Snape ran."
I did the worst thing I probably could, I grabbed the cloak of the idiot and dragged him into my room.
That is how I ended up having Harry Potter in my room. Sitting across from the boy, I sigh.
"Let's get over whatever it is you need to talk to me about so badly that you have to bribe me to listen."
"Well sir, it seems that your godson is trying to woo me and I don't know what to do."
If I was going to do this then I was going to go all the way.
"How do you know for sure that he is trying to woo you?" I watched as he pulled a box out of his pocket and opened it. There on a status charm was lily petals. It was the same thing that Lucius had done to Narcissa. I remember Draco telling me that he was going to do the same. He had it all planned; flower petals, dinner and candy in a weird romantic gesture.
"He will ask you on a dinner date. I don't know how or when but he will. Is that enough help?"
The child nodded, grabbed the present and went to the door. He turned back at me.
"You know something sir," He waited a second, "You just proved that Malfoy was not playing with me nor was I messing with you. So, listen, Ron really was hurt when you walked away. If you don't like it then you should say something. It is better than him killing someone that gets too close to you."
He left with those words. Just because my godson has decided that Potter was going to be his does not mean he can talk to me. The Weasley is just playing with me. IA vampire playing with the dungeon bat. Pushing me around because he can.
Harry's POV
I walk into the commons room just to be attacked by a not too happy vampire.
"You smell like Snape." He growled at me. I blinked up at him.
"I had to ask him a question." I told him.
"For you to smell like this something else must have happened. It is not like you were hugged by him."
"He invited me in because I was causing a scene. Nothing happened." He watched me, looking to make sure that everything was true. "I would not touch someone that is being wooed by my best friend."
"You told him." Ron just exhaled this as if his words were air.
"He did not believe me but yes I told him. I'm surprised you knew what you were doing."
"I did not want to tell you. I knew how much you dislike him."
"Well, I am being wooed by one Draco Malfoy."
"Now I understand his major dislike to me the entire day. He must think there is something going on with us." He got a gleeful look on his face.
"No you may not use this to your advantage."
"Why not, you did?" He said to me with laughter in his voice.
"So, I needed help, so I went to the one person that I knew would do so. Speaking of Snape, you might want to talk to him other than seduce him dark hallways. It is not nice playing with other peoples feelings." He gives me a look that made me feel sorry for everyone that has ever hurt Snape.
"I am not playing. Maybe at first but he is mine and he is not getting rid of me like that. He has to be crazy to do that." I watch as his mind, which looked like he was straining, got to work.
"Let me borrow your map." I laugh as we headed to bed. We both said good night to a sleeping Zach.
"I did not know you were ok with stocking now." I tell him when I handed over the map. I have a feeling that Ron is going to use it more than I am this year. He bid me good night and then he hid in his bed, with the curtains down. I would not be surprised if he could not hear me right now.
I laugh and let it go, there is only so much Ron-ness I can cope with in a day. I lied down and I was out.
I woke up before everyone else. Ron was gone so I was stuck with doing my hair myself. I went about my business like I always do.
When I was done doing my hair, it was better than yesterday (not by much), I sat on my bed. My gift from Malfoy was in my hands. I wanted to take it with me but I don't think professor Snape would like it in his class. Thinking of the potion master gave me an idea. Grabbing the smallest vile that I had, I put 3 petals in and then closed it. I looked around for something to tie to the vile. I found an old shoe lace that I transfigured into leather. I managed to tie it to the vile and then around my neck.
It felt awesome around my neck. Like it was always supposed to be there.
The great hall was like it always was. Tired teens trying to wake to make it to class without falling asleep. I got to the table only to be followed by one Draco Malfoy. He sat a crossed form me.
I could tell something was bothering him. I sat waiting for him to say anything.
"On Friday-" was all he got out before Ron flopped next to me. "Excuse me."
I was disappointed that he left.
I turn to my friend and he did not look too good. I reached out to touch his shoulder, but he moved.
"Don't. You would not want to send out the wrong message. I don't." he told me.
"Did something happen?"
"He shot me down. I told me straight out and he laughed...I don't..."
"Do you know his favorite color, ingredient or even food?" He shook his head, "I have a feeling he is someone you have to get to know first before seducing him in the hallway at midnight is going to work."
He nodded to me.
"Do you need me to do your hair?"
"No, I don't think you need to do it anymore."
Ron nodded. Zach showed up later, then we had classes.
I really did not expect what happened at dinner
