Leagal Stuff: No real warning on these. I am making no money on this and make no claim of owning anything in the HP world. The question was posed; What does Severus do while at Spinners End?
He slouched in his chair and glanced around. He was bored. He often was now during the summer hols. There was no more Dark Lord to defeat. No more children to teach. No more friends to come calling. There were potions, but one could only brew for so many hours a day. He had books, but he had long since read them all.
He slouched further before rising and walking to the kitchen, only to return and with spoon in one hand and tub of ice cream in the other he slumped in his chair and angrily ate his Chunky Monkey, alone and telling himself he liked it that way.

He had taken maybe his fourth or fifth bite of ice cream when someone tapped on the door. He merely glanced at the door as he took another bite. They knocked a bit more insistently and he shouted around the large chunk of chocolate, "Go away. I don't want any." As soon as he said it he wondered if maybe it was the Girl Guides and if they had those chocolate mint biscuits he liked and could only get when they came around.
Then a voice shouted, "Damn it Snape, open the door."
He had been right, he didn't want any, but rose and walked to the door anyway. Opening the door, Chunky Monkey still in hand, he said, "Go away Potter."

Harry blinked as he took in the man's appearance. White button down shirt open to mid chest and torn blue jeans so faded they were almost white. He was not wearing shoes, his hair was clean and tied back with an elastic and he was holding a tub of ice cream. The only thing Harry managed to say was, "Is that Chunky Monkey?"
"That isn't any of your business. What do you want Potter?" Severus snapped as held the ice cream farther away from the boy. Although at 23, Potter should probably not be considered a boy any more. When Harry just stared at him he repeated, "What do you want?"
