Entry for the "Unusual Ships Challenge" - Rolanda Hooch/Severus Snape

Entry for the "Halloween Collection Competition" - prompt: 14. (colour) Black


"Severus?"

Severus Snape, seated in his usual armchair in the staffroom, did not lift his gaze from the book he was reading, openly ignoring his colleague Rolanda Hooch.

"Severus, I know you hear me."

He stared stubbornly on the page in front of him, without even seeing the words at all.

"Seeeeveruuus. Sevi... come on... Sevi-pooh..."

"By Merlins beard, what is it?!," he snapped, glaring at her in anger and Rolanda looked satisfied as she asked:"Why are you always wearing black?"

"Are you serious?"

"This is a pretty simple question."

"What does it matter to you? I am wearing black, point, finished."

"Is black your favourite colour? If yes, did you know it is not truly a colour at all?"

"You know that you are annoying, do you?"

"I am pretty sure that green is your favourite colour."

"You are doing this on purpose...," Severus sighed, massaging his temples. Rolanda had seemed to declared driving him crazy to her personal sport. What had he done to deserve that?!

"Oh, wait, wait now I know it – you vain man are wearing it because it makes you look slimmer!"

"Why do I always come back here every day even though I know that you will be here, getting on my nerves?! I should stop this habit," Severus mumbled grumpily and stood up to leave the room.

Rolanda gave him a exaggerated wave and grinned:"Wow, this is my personal best time! See you tomorrow!"
