Dodgy Meetings in Little Pubs

Severus Snape sat in the corner of The Hogs Head, a shabby little pub in Hogsmeade, a small wizarding village situated near Hogwarts. He had never frequented the pub during his Hogwarts days and he understood why most students avoided the place as the place was vastly different than the Three Broomsticks just up the road which had a much better atmosphere and better-looking bar staff. He sighed, he hadn't chosen this place to act as the meeting point but his client had and as they were offering him quite a large sum of money for the item in question, he had allowed them to chose the meeting point. He was starting to regret the decision, after all, whilst this place looked like it saw a lot of dodgy deals, the barman looked an awful lot like Albus Dumbledore for him to be comfortable.

"It's the anniversary, isn't it?" a voice spoke, causing him to look up to see a hooded figure had approached him.

"Every day is the anniversary," he responded carefully, using the secret phrase he had been asked to use by the client.

"I take it you have what my boss requires," the voice responded.

"I do," Severus responded, "and my payment."

"On my person," the voice replied, and tapped the front left pocket of his robe.

Severus put the briefcase that had been between his legs on the table and slid it across to the owner of the voice who had now sat opposite him.

"Perfect," the voice replied, and Severus watched as he cast a reveal spell to ensure the content of the briefcase was correct, "here is your payment," and with that, the man tossed a purse at Severus.

Checking the contents was correct; Severus nodded at the cloaked figure.

"We might be in contact again," the figure spoke.

"Of course," Severus responded and the figure vanished as quickly as they had appeared.

Standing Severus himself left the pub and apparated back to his home.

Once inside his home, Severus checked himself in the mirror and was happy to see the Polyjuice Potion wear off before his eyes.
