And what a good friend Poppy turns out to be! I bet she was telling Minerva, who happened to be on her way to Pomona and just walking by the infirmary, all about the situation and how she managed to foist Severus upon Harry, or foist Harry on Severus. And she and Minerva would look at each other, grin broadly and then start to cackle like the crazy, meddling witches they are. Flitwick, who had just then come in to renew the charms on one of the very draughty windows that Poppy hat yesterday pointed out to him, would overhear them and ask what they were laughing about. After a very pictorial description Filius would suggest to view Poppy's memory in a pensive. How convenient that Minerva owns one! So she would send a patronus to fetch Pomona, and together they would treck to Minerva's office, who would offer her best Scotch for the occasion; Filius would bring Charlotte's Choking Chunks Chokolate C(h)ookies (tm), Poppy some home-made Cinnamon-Cherry-Every-Berry-Jam, Pomona would share her very special magical herb tea (it's really just herbs, not what you may think!). And they would watch the memory - several times, just to be sure they catch this cute little scene where Severus is sinking defeated onto the matress, his head listlessly lolling down onto his small front paws while his little bum is still raised up, and these eyes! Oh look, he's huffing now, and look at Harry there, yes, he's such a good lad, Filius can you extract a photo from a memory, oh, look! - laughing, bantering, and plotting the downfall of The Bat of The Dungeons and his subsequent rescue by the dashing Boy-Who-Lived-to-fall-for-a-bat-only-to-end-with-a-fluffy-cat-err-Severus-who-is-hissing-biting-and-sputtering-but--cute-and-WILL-see-what-Harry-is-really-like-and-realize-that-they-are-perfect-for-each-other!
More, please, pekeleke! And thank you for sharing.
