Summary: Despite what many may think Severus Snape has a friend. A very good friend. A best friend, even. A friend who has been through thick and thin with him...

 

What Friends Are For.

“This is a terrible idea, Severus.”

“I never said it wasn't.”

“Potter is Draco's age. He could be your son, for Merlin's sake!”

Hogwarts' Headmaster shifts uncomfortably in his chair.
“I wish he was older, too.”

“He's the blasted Boy-Who-Lived. He could have anyone he wants. Risking your reputation for him is insane...”

Severus' answer disarms him:
“I love him, Luc.”

Lucius' blood runs cold.
“Why him?  He'll break your heart. He'll...”

“I need a friend, not a lecture.”

“I know that.”

Severus sags with relief.
“Then you'll... support... me?”

“Through thick and thin, Severus. That's what friends are for.”

D'awww... I had to keep myself from squeeing out loud because I'm in a lecture, and it was hard work to keep my glee inside! ;)
I just love Sev and Luc as best friends. Lucius' concern was palpable, he just wants to keep his friend safe from heartbreak. <3
What a lovely drabble!

LOL, I sincerely hope that you managed to sail through that lecture without betraying your glee out loud! Wouldn't want to cause you trouble, you know? ;D

I'm thrilled that you enjoyed this particular portrayal of the relationship between Lucius and Severus. Thanks so much for taking the time to both read and review. Your brilliantly funny comment put the widest grin on my face. :)
