Challenge,
Write a drabble containing any of these phrases: 'Severus, why the bubbles?', 'Draco bleaches his hair', and 'Ooh! That's sticky!'. Five points for each phrase included.
Of course, members of other houses are quite welcome to join in. However, they must include the phrase '"I agree wholeheartedly. Slytherin is the most honorable house," said Harry, without any mockery.'
Slytherin Honor
"I agree wholeheartedly. Slytherin is the most honorable house," said Harry, without any mockery.
Severus narrowed his eyes and waited for the other shoe to drop.
Harry frowning slightly asked, "What?" as he peered into the open box of chocolates he had resting on his stomach. He was currently lounging on their sofa.
"Nothing," Severus said sharply before adding, "I am simply struck speechless that you of all people would agree with me," he shrugged slightly, "on anything." He snatched a chocolate he recognized as caramel-filled out of Harry's hand.
Harry pouted slightly as he watched Severus nibble on the chocolate. "Severus, if the Head of House is honorable then so too shall the students be." He then snorted saying, "That sounded really corny, didn't it?" Without waiting for any answer he said, "What was it? Seventy-five percent of them followed you back to our side before the end of the war?" He sat the candy aside and stood to wrap his arms around the taller man.
Severus, cheeks flushed slightly in a rare show of emotion, nodded. "I believe it was slightly less than that."
"The exact number doesn't matter. What matters, is that you are honorable and so are those that followed you. Even if Draco bleaches his hair or Pansy uses that silly charm or any of the others do any number of things that Slytherins do, simply because they're Slytherins." Harry leaned up to kiss Severus softly. As he pulled back he licked his lips and whispered, "Ooh! That's sticky!" He licked Severus bottom lip. "Mm, and tasty."
A soft cry was heard from the adjoining room and Harry sighed as he released Severus. "Bath time I think."
Severus smirked, "I will run the water."
Moments later when Harry entered the bathroom stopped and laughed, "Severus, why the bubbles?"
Severus very haughtily took the small child from her father's arms and cuddled her close before sneering, "Because my little Slytherin Princess deserves them."
