Daring

“Potter, are you wearing a skirt?”

“I should think the answer to that question would be obvious, Severus.”

“You always were a cheeky brat.”

“I’m neither cheeky nor a brat, thank you. I simply see no need to answer a question verbally when the answer is plain to be seen.”

“You have spent entirely too much time in the company of Slytherins, Potter.”

“My name is Harry, Severus. I’d prefer you use it.”

“I’m still a professor, Potter. It wouldn’t do to address a student so familiarly.”

“I’ve not been a student for over a year, Sev. I may not even return to Hogwarts. Draco invited me to live with him.”

“And you are going to do so?”

“I may, at that. It seems odd being back.”

“It seems a waste to go through what you went through only to throw your education away, Potter.”

“Do you have some sort of physical aversion to addressing me by something other than my surname? You act as though it’s painful to be civil to me, even though you’ve saved my life numerous times.”

“Fine…Harry.”

“Did that hurt? You made a face like you swallowed something horrid.”

“Shut it, P—Harry. Are you really not coming back here when school opens again? I thought you smarter than that.”

“Why Severus, I didn’t know you cared.”

“I do not. I only hope to save you from the further corrupting influence of Draco Malfoy.”

“Are you jealous, Severus?”

“Should I be?”

“Of Draco? Why?”

“I’ve seen you with him. You seem close. You’ve both worked hard to restore this place, and you deserve to see it returned to former glory.”

“We’re friends, That’s all.”

“Is it?”

“Why do you care? Tell me.”

“I feel a certain responsibility to look after you. Old habits are hard to break, after all.”

“I’m a big boy, Severus. I appreciate your concern, truly, but I can look after myself.”

“Why are you wearing a skirt?”

“Draco dared me to do it.”

“If he dared you to jump off a cliff, would you do that as well?”

“I do have some sense of self-preservation “

“I’m glad to hear it.”

“Severus? He dared me to do something else as well.”

“What?”

Harry learned in, planting a long kiss against Severus’ pliant lips.

“Please don’t kill me.”
