Chapter 10: In His Spare Time, Lucius Malfoy Enjoys Gnomes, Bowler Hats,
And Syntax
"Say, Severus," Lucius Malfoy said, smiling suggestively, "do you like..syntax?"
"Syntax?" Snape said, raising one eyebrow. "Well, it's alright, why?"
"Alright, eh?" Lucius said, leaning back and grinning, "Lot of experience with syntax, then, I take it?"
"Quite extensive, actually," Snape said, "Took a course in it in my 7th year."
"A course?" Lucius said, surprised. "What, you mean at Hogwarts?"
"Yes, of course." Snape said, rather confused.
"My word, I didn't know they taught such * interesting * subjects there," Lucius said. "If only I'd have known, maybe..." He did not finish the sentence, leaving Snape to fill in the blanks.
Snape coughed embarrassedly. "Lucius.." He started.
Lucius looked up at him, his eyes still glittering with thoughts of past pleasures.
"Syntax is NOT a clever word for sex." Snape then said.
Lucius looked at him, bewildered. "Eh...." he said, "I knew that!"
