Foolish Wand Waving
Chapter 2
School was back again next week, 'What joy' Severus thought 'no more art, just bratty kids spoiling potions that a three year old could brew'.
The summer had been quite eventful, with a Russell Gryffin exhibition being held at the Tait Gallery in London. The artist hadn't shown up though as he was something of a recluse.
Severus had been rather amused by the comments he'd overheard regarding said artist. Women saying how they been the man's lover and men bragging about how Russell and them regularly meet for a game of tennis or round of poker. Even a few of his Ex students had made comments, freezing in their tracks when they spotted the formidable Potions Master.
Sales were good too, even Fudge had bought something.That that particular painting was an abstract work of Fudge under cruciatus gave Severus a real sense of satisfaction remembering the way the man had treated him with contempt over the past years.
Alan Rickman had come as well, purchasing a small piece. A chat with the man told Severus that he rarely dabbled in art anymore as his acting career didn't allow for it. His partner worked in the field though and it had been she who had told Alan of the exhibition.
Revealing his alter ego to Alan, Serverus told him that it had been his exhibition all those years ago that had started it all. He thanked him and asked if perhaps the two could get together for a drink sometime. Alan agreed, and arrangements were made to meet at Christmas with partners of course.
'The summer really had been good' Severus thought as he finished his last piece for the year. Tomorrow he would be back to reality,with lesson plans, ingredients to buy and an interfering Albus to annoy .
