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.”

My dear, do you know that your works are better than Polish modern literature (I should read it, the day after tomorrow is my last exam before my diploma exam). And I love my modern literature so... I love yours drabble more ^^
Yes, relationship with Harry could be a very bad idea, but damn it, love is always good and Severus deserves happiness! I'm so glad that Lucius is so good friend even if he doesn't approve this.

Awwww! Lucy is a good friend, bless him.
And they don't need to worry. Harry adores Severus. :)
What a lovely vignette!

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!!!

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!

Oh, perfection!
A short and very clever portrayal of the true values of friendship. I'm so glad that Severus has someone who will always give support and not a lecture. *g*
