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.”

we always see how terrible lucius can be...it's darn nice to see him just as severus' best friend. pointed out the obvious flaws in the situation, then support.

which is how good friends are. yay!!!

It's true that Lucius tends to be portrayed in a rather unpleasant light, but I've always liked the idea that he could have been Severus' loyal friend all along...

I'm thrilled to learn that you agree with me on this point. Thanks, as always, for your lovely comment, fallconsmate. Hearing from you never fails to make me smile. :D
