Halloween Prompt - #23 Coffin
Furniture Fun
"But I thought we were having a green kitchen?" Harry asked, dithering between the two sets of dishes Severus showed him. One was plain white, and the other a royal blue.
"I like the blue ones," Severus replied. "We can have a blue kitchen."
"I'm not changing an entire room because you've found a set of dishes you like."
"Harry, we have wands. We could have a different coloured set every day of the bloody week. Indulge me!"
Harry laughed. "Fine. Get the blue. But you get the task of finding plates and cups and cutlery that match."
"Alright, we'll get the full set you saw," Severus sighed, putting the dishes back on the shelf.
Harry rolled his eyes.
"Oh, my, Merlin," Harry gasped out through his laughter while Severus stood glaring at him. "We have to buy that."
"No, we don't."
"But Severus... it's, it's..."
"It's bloody pink. We are not having a pink sofa."
"But what if we invite Umbridge for tea? She'd love it!"
"I'm taking you to Saint Mungo's. You clearly need your brain testing. Delusional idiot.
"I like the leather one," Severus said, pointing at the large brown leather bed frame.
"I like the wood one," Harry argued, nudging the bed they were currently stood next too. "It matches the furniture you choose."
"But I like the leather one," Severus argued. "And since you said I could choose the bedroom furniture, we're getting the leather one."
"I only said that so you'd let me buy the black sofa. We're not having a mismatched bedroom."
"For Merlin's sake, Harry!"
"Oh put your bloody fangs away," Harry grumbled.
"Excuse me, Sir's, I couldn't help over hear your conversation. I have a bed that you might like."
Harry glanced between Severus and the Sales Rep, and nodded. "Lead on."
Harry was still laughing at the furious look on Severus' face when they collapsed onto the sofa in Severus' quarters. "I can't believe he actually thought I was being serious. I thought the poor bloke was going to have a coronary when he saw the glare you gave him!"
"Cheeky snot. I remember him as a student. Hufflepuff. Probably thought he was being funny," Severus muttered, pulling Harry onto his lap and burying his head in Harry's neck.
"Still. I can't believe he actually showed us a coffin. That takes balls. Are you sure he wasn't a Gryffindor?"
