A/N: This is a collection of scenes used as background in an A/U Potterverse RPG. Our Snape is completely asexual and hates to be touched. Lucius Malfoy is extremely tactful and polite, but feels a driving need to play devil's advocate in any situation. Rodolphus Lestrange and his brother are the sons of a long-established Irish pureblood family, who raise sheep, among other less-common things, in the rural areas outside of Ballycastle. Finer details will become obvious as more scenes are added.
March, 1977
He watched as Bella elbowed Lucky to the side and grabbed Sev by the front of his robes. "Of course he's still mine. It's just a little disagreement."
Standing up, he slipped an arm around Bella's waist and leaned over her shoulder. "What do you want with that creature, Bella? I'm much prettier than that greasy git will ever be." He snuck a wink at Sev. No sense in letting the boy think he meant it.
Bella elbowed him hard in the gut, and he staggered back, clutching at the impact point. Tears ran down his face from the force of the blow. He looked up serenely. "I'm pretty when I cry."
The words slid out effortlessly and the scene stood still. Sev looked at him in absolute horror. Bella lifted Lucky's camera from the table and aimed it. "I'll take a picture, then. It lasts longer."
Flash
Sev grabbed Bella by the back of the neck and hissed something. She dropped to the floor. As he looked up to tell his friend that he was alright, Sev laid a hand alongside his cheek and looked sternly into his eyes while wiping away the tears. He settled back into his chair as Sev swept out the door, robes still buttoned almost to his chin.
