Upping the Ante
Natalie finished a sweep of her classroom with a special wand just as Snape billowed into the room, his dark eyes unreadable. She cocked her head sideways, laying a finger to her lips, and motioning for him to stay still. With great caution, she sidled along the back wall, stopping beside a still life portrait of a fruit basket. Waving her wand in front of the painting once more, a goblet in the background of the painting glowed blue, and Snape’s eyes widened in amazement.
Hopping on front of the painting, Natalie removed her everyday wand from its protective pocket, hissing vehemently as she pointed it at the goblet.
“Finite incantatum!”
The goblet glowed bright blue, escalating to piercing white, then the lights subsided and it returned to a normal, benign, pewter color. Natalie smiled, very self satisfied, nodding her head in approval before turning her attention to Professor Snape, still waiting in the door frame.
“What, pray tell, was that all about?” He asked curiously.
“Simply making sure any old voyeurs lurking about the castle will be denied a show.”
“Indeed?”
“Of course!” She replied, bustling to back to her desk. Snape entered, seating himself in the comfortable chair next to her desk.
“Perhaps you could make a sweep of my rooms?” He petitioned hopefully.
“I’m so glad you asked. I had hoped to be able to clear away any sneak-o-scope devices from your rooms as well. No need to give away a free show now is there?” The witch laughed, her eyes alighting mischievously.
“Is this the only reason for your requested meeting?” Snape purred at her hopefully.
“Of course not, but let’s eat first. I’m starving.” She snapped her fingers. A small blue-green elf appeared with two plates, setting them down on Natalie’s desk.
“What is this?” Snape eyed the meal suspiciously.
“Bacon cheeseburgers, onion rings, and blessed relief, ice cold Coke!”
“You is pleased?” The tiny little elf asked eagerly.
“I am very pleased! A taste of home! Thank you so much Elyse.”
The diminutive elf bobbed her head happily before winking out of the classroom.
“Now who is homesick?” Snape sniped at the witch, who had sunk her teeth into the burger, nearly moaning in happiness.
“Oh, I definitely am missing a few of the pleasures of my home.” She admitted freely before crunching down on an onion ring.
She nearly inhaled the coca-cola, eyes rolling back in her head at the taste of the sweet, bubbly concoction. Snape hesitantly sipped the beverage. His eyebrows shot up in surprise.
“Not bad.” He grudgingly complimented her choice, then delved into the onion rings first. Crunching along with her happily, he actually smiled. “Interesting.” He commented.
“Wait ‘til you try that burger!” She mumbled happily between mouthfuls.
Snape sank his teeth into the thick burger, the crisp bacon crunching as he did. He caught her eye, nodding his approval.
“I believe you mentioned personnel issues?”
“Indeed I did. First, and as you saw, I believe we are being watched, and if I’m not mistaken, manipulated by a very devious old bee and a quiet bird.”
“I should have known.” Snape muttered angrily.
“Oh, now come on, they have to have their fun as well.” Natalie goaded him. “But their voyeurism has come to an end on my part. They can go watch Ana and Alexei for a while.” She giggled, watching her team mate devour the burger.
“Harrumph.” He snorted. “I do not like being played.”
“Neither do I, Mr. Snape!” She eyed him suggestively, reminding him of their evening detention, licking her lips, much to his delight.
“Did you receive a note from Hogwarts’ esteemed Headmaster?” Snape asked, curious now.
“I did. And you?”
“Yes.” He produced the piece of parchment from his pocket, handing it to her just as she removed a slip of parchment from her desk drawer. “Is this an item from your list?” He asked for clarification. Their hands brushed against each other warmly in the cool air of the dungeon classroom.
“Well, bugger me.” She exclaimed.
“Gladly.” Snape offered.
“Unfortunately for you, THAT is on my “Ain’t never gonna happen” list.” She laughed at the disappointed look on his face.
******************************
Remus and Tonks chatted quietly over their lunch at a small café near the Ministry of Magic.
“You do know I have to go to Hogsmeade this week end to help with security for the TriWizard Tournament.”
Remus ears perked up, and he grinned wickedly at his partner. “How convenient for me!”
Tonks eyed him curiously, “Convenient?”
“Mmm hmmm. Care to cross another item off my list?” He waggled his eyebrows at her suggestively.
“You know I do!” She countered happily.
“I’ll wait at the Three Broomsticks for you then.”
*****************************
Alexei took advantage of Natalie’s absence to sit next to Ana for lunch.
Just as they finished eating, he leaned over and whispered suggestively in her ear.
“Meet me on the shore near the ship at 9:00, after our office hours.”
She smiled and nodded as he stomped away to his next class.

Well, well, well. This is just a little set up for the next chapter. Does it bother anyone that I jump between the couples?
TBC … if you’all are still interested that is.
Thanks to all for reading and commenting. It helps me greatly! Pitt
