Severus searched high and low in the grocery and couldn't find hide nor hair of his favorite vegetable. Spinach. He'd been to several different stores so far and all of them were just plain out of spinach. It wasn't just for him, of course, it was also for his kindergarten class's pet rabbit. Clyde.

"Does anyone know where I can find any spinach?" he asked, not expecting an answer to his question.

"Dude," the produce employee said, motioning him over, "don't her I told you this, but that lady over there." The auburn haired girl with sparkling green eyes pointed towards the tall dark-haired lady with twice as much neck as was needed. "She came in looking for all the spinach she could get her hands on. She wiped us out, man."

"You aren't planning on getting any more today?" Severus asked in a cold tone of voice. The voice that meant business when he used it on his class. Mind you they were kindergartners and didn't really take him seriously. But he usually tried either way.

"That was today's shipment," the girl said, holding her hands up. "Only suggestion I can make is either making due with something else or going to ask if she's willing to part with some."

Severus snorted in derision. He was pretty sure he was never shopping in this store ever again. The customer was always supposed to be right, a lesson his father taught him the hard way growing up working for the family store.

But seeing as the girl had turned back to finish stocking the shelves around the spinach with other lettuces, none as good as spinach, Severus had no choice but go over and plead his case. He hoped that the woman would be much more helpful than the store's employee was.

"Excuse me," he said, schooling in his tone into one he thought was rather friendly, "I was wondering if I could ask a favor of you." He looked into her cart and found that it was indeed filled practically to the brim with the coveted spinach. He could just as easily reach into the cart and pull on out and just leave. But he'd devoted himself to go about this business in a friendly manner. So he had to at least try.

"Why would I do a favor for you?" the woman asked in a familiar voice. A voice Severus had heard before he just couldn't remember where or when. "I don't even know."

"It doesn't matter if…." He cut himself off before he could make this worse for himself than it already was. Taking a deep calming breath, he counted to ten and then thought of a better way to continue. "I'm Severus Snape, the local kindergarten teacher. My class has a pet rabbit at our school and we need spinach to feed the rabbit. I was wondering if I could take at least a bag or two to hold the poor creature over until they could get more spinach in?"

The dark haired woman bristled. "I'm planning a party for some important clientele," she informed him stiffly. "I can't afford to lose any of this spinach."

"I'm sure a bag won't be missed. You have so much here that it seems silly to not share the wealth. Especially when one rabbit is at stake. Do you have children, Miss…."

"Evans," she snapped, "and no I don't. One usually has to date in order to have the sort of romantic attachment that develops into children."

Severus wracked his brain. He'd heard the name Evans before but where had he heard it. Where had he heard it?

Then it hit him like a paint can thrown down the school stairs by his arch nemesis, James Potter. He had heard the name Evans before. His childhood best friend had a girl named Lily Evans. Her sister was called….

"Petunia Evans, is that you?" he asked, squinting at the woman's face trying to reconcile her with the girl he'd once known.

"Do I know you?"

"Severus Snape. I was your sister, Lily's childhood best friend."

"No. Severus Snape was a gangly little runt of a boy. You can't be Severus, can you?" She squinted back at him trying to get a closer look at his face. She must have recognized his features because her mask of hostility slipped a little. Not that they had been friends back in the day but they'd been friendly.

"I assure I can," he said, a smile slipping onto his usually dark features. He smiled around his old friend, Lily or his class. "I know that this is going to be a losing battle but I was really hoping that I could have some of your spinach. Please?"

"For the rabbit?"

"For the rabbit, of course." And if a portion of it happened to end up on his plate he wouldn't be upset about that either.

"I suppose that I could give up one or two bags." A slight smile crossed her face. "That is if you would be willing to go to a bar with me and catch up when I'm done with my party?"

Severus eyed the spinach and then looked up the mirth on Petunia Evans's face. He sighed and then nodded. "I suppose it's a date," he said dryly.

"Then you can meet at the pub around the corner from my childhood house seven o'clock," she said, holding out a package or two of spinach.

"I will be there with bells on."

As Severus took the two packages of spinach and walked towards the checkout line he couldn't believe what had just happened. Not only had he gotten spinach but he'd gotten a date as well. He couldn't wait to go tell Lily about this.

I hope you all enjoyed Spinach for a Date as much as I enjoyed writing it.
