I would like to give a big shout out to my fabulous beta ScarletQuill for being superb Xx
“So Draco what have you got planned for today?”
Draco looked up from the morning's paper “Not much I have a meeting at one pm with Mr H Potier one of the owners of that new nightclub that's opening, regarding security issues and such things and then I was going over to the twins for poker night, why do you ask uncle?”
Severus stopped buttering his toast “I was hoping if you were going anywhere near Flourish and Botts you could pick up my books, I'd go myself but Minerva has called me in because the new Potions teacher got blown up by a second year Ravenclaw student who thought she knew better than the textbooks and added the wrong ingredient to a potion, so I'm stuck teaching dunderheads till at least the weekend”
“Well as long as you leave Saturday evening free Severus, because we've been sent VIP tickets for that new club that's opening in Diagon Alley it's called H and H, apparently there's a lounge bar on the ground floor that does dinner and dancing, then downstairs is a nightclub which caters for the younger clientèle” Lucius said as he walked into the dining room holding thick black card with silver lettering on it. He tossed the card onto the table in front of Severus.
Severus picked the card up and studied it “I'm not going Luc, you know I don't socialize in public, it's bad enough that we keep in touch with the Wolf and the Mutt not to mention those idiots Draco hangs around with, can't a man live his life in peace” After many years of grading papers certain styles of handwriting tended to stick in Severus's head and some how this style seemed really familiar to him.
“Severus you're going and that's final, now I'm going to Madame Malkins for a new set of robes, shall I order a new set for you as well Severus?” Lucius asked.
“Damn it Lucius, do what you must but just give me some bloody peace” Severus snapped at his friend.
Lucius clenched his teeth together in frustration but left without saying another word.
“Uncle do try to be nicer to father, you know he hasn't been the same since mother passed away a couple of years ago” Draco looked up from his paper as Severus gave him a non-committal grunt in answer to his question. “Severus are you okay? You're staring at that card as if it's a complex potions theory.”
Severus's bright black eyes snapped up from the card and bore into Draco's grey ones “Who did you say you were going to meet at the club?”
Draco frowned at the intensity that was coming off his godfather in waves “A Mr H Potier, one of the owners of that new club that father wants to drag you to.”
“One of the owners...Potier hmm...Did he tell you who the other partner was?”
“No, do you want to tell me what has gotten your cloak in tiz” Draco asked thoroughly confused.
“Not particularly, now if you'll excuse me I have a potions classes to teach, and a Wolf to question” he added under his breath, before he swept out of the kitchen, his black robes billowing behind him.
Severus flooed into Hogwarts staffroom and after a brief hello to Poppy and Pomona he strode off to the Gryfindor tower and knocked on Professor Lupin's door loudly.
Sirius opened the door and grimaced “Remus there's a bat at the door...What do you want Sni-Snape?”he corrected himself just in time as Remus arrived at the door.
“Severus what a pleasant surprise, do come in” Remus gave his lover a frown that told him to act nicely towards Severus or there would be trouble later. “I presume you're here to cover John's classes, so what can we do for you” he asked politely holding the door open.
“Did you receive an invitation for that new club that's opening?” Severus asked as he walked over to the sofa in front of the fire.
“No why”
“Maybe he needs a date” Sirius sneered
“For goodness sake Sirius, give it a rest will you obviously what Severus has to say is important or he wouldn't be here” Remus snapped.
Severus handed over the invitation “Does that script look familiar to you?”
Taking the card Remus studied it “Sev I'm a teacher, handwriting tends to blend into one undistinguishable blend, what's so important about it?” he said handing it back
Severus turned to Sirius “When was the last time you heard from Harry?”
“They send a letter once a month, but as we tell everyone they just want to be left alone. I'm not going to give you their address”
“If I'm correct in my assumption and I usually am, they're back in the country as we speak.” he tossed the card face down on the coffee table so that the silver lettering two H' intertwined with a and symbol glinted in the morning sunlight.
“That means nothing Bats, H and H could stand for anything” Sirius countered.
“True but when Draco is seeing a Mr H Potier about security, it seems a bit coincidental don't you think?”
Remus and Sirius exchanged glances “What caused you to come to this conclusion?” Remus asked just as the first bell went signifying the start of class.
Severus walked to the door, stopped, turned to look at them and said simply “It's her handwriting” before continuing on his way to the dungeons.
“You don't think they've returned and not told us do you?” asked Sirius.
Remus just shrugged “Who knows, those two always play their hand close to their chest. The only thing we can do is to carry on as we are and if we haven't heard anything by Saturday we're going to that club to get answers one way or another, now come on we'll be late for class”
Harry was trying to adjust his tie in the mirror when Hermione walked up behind him turned him round and fixed the mess he was making of it.
“Nervous much Harry” Hermione stated with smirk playing on her pale lips.
“Gah! I'm acting like a school kid on their first date, it's just a business meeting, why am I so nervous? It's not like I haven't hired security before”
Hermione planted a kiss on his forehead “Yes, but the heads of security in our other clubs didn't have the history with you that Draco does, I was just going to do a full inventory of the Glass Slipper before Luna comes tonight for her interview, would you like me to stop to give you moral support?”
“No I'm good thanks, what would I do with out you?” he asked pulling her into a tight squeeze
“The same as I'd do with out out you, and that's crumble like a vampire meeting the sun” she said returning the fierceness of the hug.
Hermione's mobile buzzed she flipped it open and grimaced “Apparently there's been a dragon outbreak in Wales so she can't make it till tomorrow, so it looks like it's just me, a bottle of wine, my clipboard and the radio”
“Why don't I come and give you a hand once I'm through with Draco?”
“No it's okay Harry, thanks for the offer though don't forget that you still need to see Siri and Remy and apologise for us keeping them out of the loop.”
A knock at the door interrupted them and Jimmy popped his head round it “Sorry to disturb you Boss but there's a Mr Malfoy here from Enigma Entertainment to speak with you”
Hermione smiled “Thank you Jimmy, offer him some refreshments and tell him Mr Potier will see him shortly.
She ran her fingers through Harry's permanently messy hair “Very handsome, now go slay me a Dragon and get me a great deal on our security” she grabbed her clipboard off her desk and with a wave of her wand she slipped her glamour back on.
After slipping a fresh coat of lip gloss on she blew Harry a kiss “Well it wouldn't do for Mr Potier' secretary to look less than perfect would it?” she slipped out the door and noticed a more maturer looking Draco waiting patiently at the bar sipping a glass of what looked like ice water but she could be wrong.
Her tight pencil skirt and high heels caused her to sashay across the dance floor her heels clicking delicately on the polished wood.
“Bonjour, you must be Monsieur Malfoy, Monsieur Potier will see you now” she gave him a polite smile and pointed him in the direction of the office.
Draco stared at the petite witch with the long raven hair and green eyes and immediately thought of Harry Potter or as he liked to call him when when he was all alone 'The one that got away' shaking his head briefly to rid himself of his thoughts he said thank you to the with and knocked on the glass window if the door he was directed to.
A/N: Hope you all enjoy this, not a lot happening but there will be more in the next chapter.
Please review and feed my voracious plot bunnies, happy plot bunnies mean Severus takes his clothes off sooner.
Severus: I do wish you'd stop using my body as payment for reviews.
Me:*smiles sweetly* Okay Severus I'll use Sirius as bait then shall I?
Severus:Over my dead body! There is no way the mutt is getting naked in my story.
Me:Well you know what to do...
Severus:*sighs a weary sigh* "I can teach you how to bewitch the mind and ensnare the senses. I can tell you how to bottle fame, brew glory, and even put a stopper in death." he said in his silkiest voice whilst slowly undoing the buttons on his crisp white shirt.
Much Love
