I don't own Is Zat You Santa Claus? Garth Brooks owns it.
Chapter 10
It was Christmas Eve and there was a dance. Merry, was in her chambers, drinking a bottle of fire whiskey, and her kids were with her mum in Brazil, where she will be in a day or so.
There was a knock on her portrait door and without a warning, Severus came in to find Merry in lovely dark blue robes, on the couch, drinking whiskey while listening to muggle Christmas songs.
"good lord, you're drunk aren't you?" Severus asked.
"Sssmashed but not D-d-drunk Sevvie." She said, her speech slurred from alcohol. She stood up and accidentally tripped, and her lips crushed into his, for a second before she fell completely to the floor. And she started giggling.
Merry got up again and stood up, hanging onto the mantle above the fireplace for supposed and she knocked over a few picture frames that were laid down in the process.
Severus picked them up and they were of her and a blondish silverish haired guy.
"Who's this?" he asked.
"Oh, that's… That's my ex-husband, but I really can't call him my ex as he's dead… He was a Veela you know?" she asked, giggling all through her sentence.
And he was shocked as the song came to the Chorus.
"Oh I'm hangin' my stockin'. I can hear a knockin'… 'Zat you, Santa Claus?" she sang out loud.
Severus thought that she actually looked cute making a fool out of herself as he left. He had to supervise a room full of teenagers. Damn Albus.
He arrived at the dance and went by Albus who was talking to Remus.
"I'm surprised Ms. Snow isn't here." Albus said.
"That's because she got herself drunk, while listening to crazy muggle songs." Severus frowned. "I'd hate to be her when someone tries to get something out of her. Just like that giant. Give her a drink and she'll blab what ever you want to know." He said.
"Really?" Albus asked, raising an eyebrow.
"She told me that her ex-husband was a Veela. So of course!" he snapped.
"Well then. If she's drunk, I suppose I'll have to inform her tomorrow that her Mother and brother are coming on Christmas day." Albus said, his eyes twinkling wildly.
"She's not going to like that…" Remus stated.
A few minutes later Merry came in, making Severus look at her in surprise.
"You shouldn't be here if you're drunk Snow." Severus said.
"Ah, that was an act. Easy to act like a drunkard." Merry smiled. "Oh, and when I sing, I don't normally sound that crazy and cracked up." She told him.
2 chappies left.
Yay! Merry and Sevvie kissed... although I guess it wasn't real since she was pretending to be under the influence of alchohol...
