Summary: Potter pursues a potioneer. This particular potioneer is a picky prat.

Potter's Picky Potioneer.

 

"There should be an investigation into your ballroom-corner-looming, Snape. It's unnaturally bewitching."

Severus snorts at Potter's latest pick-up-line. "That utter tripe eclipses the nonsense about angels you spouted last month, Potter."

"Don't be mean. Took me ages to think that one up."

"Really? Merlin! How do you ever get laid?"

"I don't. The bloke I fancy is impossibly picky."

"Is he?"

"Either that or he's an oblivious prat."

"Maybe he's wary. With flirting that awful, he probably thinks you're jesting." 

"I'm not. I-I'm-

"P-utterly smitten?"

Potter blushes adorably. "Y-yeah."

"Seriously?"

"Yes."

"Oh!"

"Please, Snape-

"Fine! I'm— p-utterly smitten too, Po-er-Harry."

P-unny ... err funny.

LOL. I'm thrilled that you found this drabble so P-unny, lara_quinn. Thanks so much for taking the time to both read and review it. Your kind and lovely comment was greatly appreciated. :)

lol Poor Harry, he's doing his best!

[pekeleke]

LOL. Yep. Harry is definitely doing his best, that's what makes his terrible flirting so hilarious. Thankfully, it sounds like Severus' own flirting is just as bad, so they're evenly matched. :D

I'm thrilled that this little drabble made you laugh, ada. Thanks, as always, for taking the time to both read and review it. :D

With such pick-up lines it's no wonder that Severus is pusillanimous (I really had to search hard for that one).

I'm glad that they managed to find each other despite that. :)

[pekeleke]

WOA! I must say that I was terribly impressed that you found a way to use the word pusillanimous in a way that didn't make your sentence sound too rehearsed. In fact, it made you sound a bit like Severus, even though he'd never use it to describe himself. You're right though, Harry's terrible flirting is the reason why his attempts to charm his man haven't been successful so far, but know that Severus knows Harry is serious, it should be straight sailing from here on end. <3

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