Commiseration

“Weasley! It’s time to add the comfrey. Are you waiting for me to serenade you? This is a healing potion. It’s very sensitive.”

“You’re such an arse, Malfoy.”

“Why, thank you, Ronald. That’s the nicest compliment you’ve ever paid me.”

“Are we supposed to use the distiller for this mixture?”

“If we were Muggles, yes. Being wizards, we can rely on magic rather than technology.”

“There is nothing wrong with Muggle technology. They can do some amazing things.”

“That’s what Severus keeps telling me. Your friend Potter is an unsavoury influence on him.”

“You are aware he’s a half-blood, yes? It makes sense that he’d be aware of Muggle advances. It’s not Harry’s fault. Though, I do think the two of them have rather rubbed off on one another.”

“Weasley, please never mention those words in the same sentence again. It’s a shame there isn’t a brain cleansing spell.”

“Eurgh! I wasn’t even thinking of that until you brought it up! You have a dirty mind, Malfoy.”

“Ordinarily something I pride myself on, but in this case a distinct disadvantage. The potion is simmering. Cast the stasis spell.”

Ron did as instructed, waiting for the potion to still before intoning the spell.

“I need a drink. You’re coming with me.”

“I am, am I?”

“You put that image in my head, you prat. Neither of us are happy with the image of what Harry and Snape do behind closed doors. You’re buying me enough Firewhiskey that we both forget that image was ever there.”

“Oh, very well. What will McGonagall think, though? Her Gryffindors all allowing Slytherins to corrupt them?”

“I thought you were the one telling me off for judging on House traits?”

“How is it you remember things like that only when it casts me in the wrong light?”

“Just a gift, I suppose. Come on. Let’s go for a few pints and clean the muck out of our brains.”

“I hate to say it, but that is a rather brilliant idea, Weasley. I may die of shock.”

“I can have good ideas, y’know. You needn’t sound so surprised about it.”

“I have a feeling that many things about you are surprising, Weasley.”

And the bunny strikes again! :D Ouch, those two working together, I can't imagine that... well, working. :) It's a good thing there's an obvious attraction there (though they're trying to mask it like they're still 12 or something ;)), otherwise I don't think poor ol' Snape wouldn't have an unexploded cauldron left in his department! :D
I think they could age together and still proudly claim allegiance to their own house, heh, men... seriously. :D
Bunnies, keep on hoping, we're sowing carrots this year! :)
Thanks for doing this, those two are such naughty little darlings, the always make my day! :)

The bunnies just will not quit biting with these two. I have ideas for a least a few more fics in this one. They'll eventually learn to work together. Speaking of exploding cauldrons, you just gave me another idea for this series of fics. Thank you! I have a feeling you may be getting more R/D soon. I am so glad you appreciate my efforts! :)
