"Snape," Potter said, walking to the counter of the apothecary.

"Potter," he drawled. "To what do I owe the displeasure?"

Potter laughed and leaned on the counter. "Just need a batch of hangover potions," he said. "I'm rubbish at brewing them myself. As you well know."

"Indeed," he nodded. Severus wrote down the order the and sent it fly to Draco in the back room. "Planning to drink yourself under the table for the holidays?"

"I wouldn't say it's a plan," Potter said. "But it might happen. I'm having my mates over at the flat. I'd have given you an invite but you keep turning them down. I've lost all hope of getting you away from the cauldron."

"I like the quiet, Potter," he said. "And you and your bunch are rowdy."

"I reckon we are," he smiled. "And I doubt you'd want to go to a Naughty or Nice holiday party anyway."

"Perhaps you should buy some protective potions as well then," he grimaced.

"You're an old prude, Snape," Potter said, shaking his head. "And I've already got."

The back door swung open and Draco walked in with Potter's order and set it on the counter.

"Harry," Draco nodded.

"Draco," Potter greeted, smiling. "Coming to the party tonight?"

"I am," Draco said, writing up the invoice. "And I'm bringing Pansy with me. Please tell me that George will be there so I can force the two of them to settle whatever their issue is this time."

"He will," Potter said. "So, naughty or nice?"

"Me or her?" Draco asked.

"Both," Potter said, though Severus could clearly tell that he had meant 'you'. Potter seemed to fancy Draco. That did not quite sit well with Severus.

"Well, both," Draco said, taping the invoice to the package. "Pansy's naughty and I'm nice. I'm going as a nutcracker and she's decided to go with the naughty ballerina to compliment me."

"If she's opting for naughty then she and George will definitely sort each other out," Potter said, as he paid for the potions and grabbed his package. He touched Draco's arm and smiled at him. "I'll see you later then."

"You will," Draco nodded.

"See you, Snape," Potter waved. "And get out of the apothecary more, yeah?"

"Good day, Potter," he said, before turning on Draco once the door was closed. "He has a liking for you."

Draco walked around the counter and grabbed onto the front of Severus' robes. "And I've a liking for you," he said. "But you already know that. Do you need a reminder?"

"Perhaps I do," Severus said. "But after work."

Draco glanced around the empty shop and kissed him anyway, slowly and with a hint of tongue. "Yes, Sir," he smirked.

"And here you told Potter that you were nice," he smiled.

"It isn't my fault you make me want to be naughty, Severus," Draco said, retreating to the back room.
