Severus Snape may be ugly and disagreeable but he's the ultimate Slytherin.  He knows Potter is Gryffindor enough to want to chase after love.  The brat will relish pitting himself against insurmountable odds, just to feel insufferably victorious when he finally beats them.

Faking utter disinterest works like a charm and soon Severus finds himself pinned to his office's wall by a satisfyingly impassioned Potter:
“Why do you ignore me?  Why can't you see me?  Why am I not good enough for you?”

Euphoria rushes through Severus' veins and he smiles, triumphant in his surrender.
“You're definitely good enough, Harry.”

I love Severus going after what he wants.

[pekeleke]

LOL. I know I don't write this sort of confident Severus very often, but I love him to bits, too. :D

I LOVE THIS! Severus is the sexiest Slytherin ever. Playing Harry perfectly and wisely not mentioning that he is looking for the same love as Harry does. And also he knows that letting a lion win (or think he just did that) is the best way to make them eat from his palm. Very sneaky, LOL. And the best: portraying him like the hunter disguised as prey and you manage to soothe the edge and make it heartwarmingly romantic with that one line before the last.

LOL. You have a weakness for this particular version of Severus and I can see exactly why that is, agnes. Sev is very sexy indeed when he's comfortable enough in his own skin to go after what he wants without the self-conscious hang-ups I usually saddle him with.

I'm trilled that you enjoyed this drabble so much, my friend. Thanks, as usual, for your lovely comment. :D
