Chapter Two: In an attempt to humiliate...
Quinten Derago paced back and forth in his kitchen, awaiting the arrival of his guest, Professor Severus Snape. He had sent his daughter, Kira, to the grocery store so that he'd be able to speak with Snape first...and alone. If she was going to insist upon keeping her little fantasies going, then he'd just have to show them to the main male character. Perhaps that will teach her... She'd never do anything behind his back again.
With a loud pop, a man with onyx eyes and raven colored hair, dressed completely in black, appears behind him. Quinten, with brown hair and green eyes, dressed in a yellow shirt and light blue jeans, suddenly felt extremely uncomfortable.
"You must be Professor Severus Snape?" Quinten asks uneasily as the other man studies him calculatingly.
" This had better not be a waste of my time." he snaps in response.
" Of course not. I think you'll find this a very convenient use of your time...for both of us." Quinten moves into the living room, Snape hot on his heels, and picks up a framed muggle photo of his daughter. " First of all, this is my daughter, Kira."
Snape studies the picture of the girl, but doesn't touch it. In the photo she had long, straight brown hair, and intense green eyes. She wore a black strapless dress that complimented her figure.
" Breathtaking." Snape replies with a hint of sarcasm in his voice, " Tell me that I did not come all this way merely to give you an attempt at setting me up with your daughter... Did Albus put you up to this?"
" Of course not!" Quinten assures him quickly, I've never even met Albus Dumbledore. I've only read about him. Actually, I'm attempting to set her up with a friend of mine. He has proposed, but I just can't seem to get her to accept..."
" That may be a sign that your little matchmaking scheme isn't working." Severus snaps," I must insist that you explain your reasons for inviting me here."
