Summary: Harry receives an invitation. A surprisingly Un-Snape-ish one.

A/N: This drabble was written for those of you out there who wanted a sequel to So—Er—Pint? Therefore it will make very little sense to anyone who hasn’t read that first.

Neither Fire Nor Brimstone.

 

Harry expects Snap-Severus’ reply to arrive in the form of fire, brimstone, howlers and/or a wealth of hexes; so he’s understandably delighted by Snap-Severus’ hope-inducing invitation to “visit him immediately.”

“Snap-Severus? I’m her—”

“Petrificus Totalus!  Incarcerous!  Mobilicorpus!”

‘Oh-shit-oh-shit-oh-shit,’ Harry panics as Snap-Severus levitates him into a chair.

“You sent me a letter, Potter. A love letter. Someone gave you defective Amortentia.”

‘Amortentia?’ Harry’s heart breaks. ‘Oh, Severus—

“Don’t look so worried. You won’t love me for long. This antidote will fix you.”

‘It can’t. I love you for real, you, idiot.’

“Bottoms up, Potter.”

'Fine!' Harry swallows. 'You'll see.'

Ah! I love it! Severus's reaction is brilliant! All businesslike and strong and protective! And Harry's internal commentary - utterly unsurprising! And all those exclamation marks! Yay! :D

Thank you, dear friend. I love your sequel. ^^


P.S. (And I did read your comment on the othter ddrabble... I'm working on it. Clearly, I need a bit more time than you, but I like your prompt to elaborate. Patience, please.)

[pekeleke]

I'm thrilled that you enjoyed it, teryarel. And yes, I couldn't imagine Severus' reaction in any other way than in all his businesslike, strong and protective glory. Not that Harry appreciates his efforts, but then that's these two for you. It'll take a while before they're on the same page. ;D

OMG! I'm so excited about reading your version of Severus' reaction to Harry's letter. The little tease you left on So--Er--Pint? was already glorious, so the idea that you're working on it, taking your time to make it even better, has me positively giddy with anticipation. Thanks so much for deciding to take on that job. I don't get to read as much of your work as I'd like, so this will be such a brilliant treat no only for me, but for all of us! <3 <3 <3

Silly Severus. You'll find out.

[pekeleke]

Yep. Severus will definitely find out. As soon as he makes the mistake of lifting those spells off Harry. LOL. Can you imagine the look on his face when Harry pounces on him like a starved lio--er-Gryffindor? *dies laughing*

Thanks, as always, for taking the time to both read and review another work of mine, ada. Your kind and lovely comment meant the world to me. :D

[adafrog]

hee!

[alisanne]

Oh Lord.
*sigh*
Okay, but it won't work, Severus. :P
You'll see soon enough. :)

[pekeleke]

Of course it won't work. But then Severus wouldn't be the snarky, oblivious, impossible git we'd all love to shake until he comes to his senses if he hadn't reacted with predictable suspicion. Harry will make him see the error of his ways in no time flat, though. Poor Sev! *grins evilly*

Thanks, as always, for taking the time to both read and review another work of mine, ali. Your kind and lovely comment meant the world to me. :D

[accioslash]

Of all the possible responses, this is the one I hadn't anticipated, but it makes perfect sense. I hope this expands into a series. So far I' ve loved both parts. *applauds*

[pekeleke]

LOL. I think Snape wouldn't be Snape if he hadn't had that 'you must be high, Potter' moment. Harry, being Harry, will keep trying to woo him with typical disarming charm until Severus caves in, though, so I'd say our dear potion professor's life is about to become really interesting. ^.~

I'm glad you enjoyed this drabble, accio. Thanks so much for taking the time to both read and review it. Your kind and lovely comment was greatly appreciated. :D

[keyairreem]

More more more more more!!!! FIX IT!!!!! LOL Typical Severus response to everything-potions will fix it.

[pekeleke]

I'm thrilled that you enjoyed it, keyairreem, and don't worry, teryarel is going to fix it for us. I can't wait to read her take on this. :D :D :D

Thanks, as always, for taking the time to both read and review another work of mine. Your kind and enthusiastic comment left me grinning from ear to ear. <3

Oh, my. Severus can be really, really tiresome sometimes. It's fortumate that Harry is a-okay with all the drawbacks, as he has listed in his previous letter. A delightful pair of stories, made me smile like a loon. Thanks for sharing!

[pekeleke]

LOL. Of course Severus can be really tiresome, I think that's part of his charm. Harry wouldn't go for someone who can't challenge him, and there are very few people out there who can possibly top Severus when it comes to being pure, unadulteratedly, stubborn, so they're a match made in heaven, these two. :D :D :D

I'm thrilled that you enjoyed this pair of fics so much, agnes. Thanks, as always, for your kind and lovely comment. <3
