(I'm thinking)
"I'm speaking"
Last Time:
Severus gave in after a minute of thinking it over and made some arrangements to go to California …
XXXXXXXXXX
“that’s great, thank you Severus! Keep in contact” Gellert said into the floo.
“and tell him to floo call once he’s settled! Take lots of pictures too!” Albus yelled before Gellert could pull out of the fireplace.
“Albus says take lots of pictures and to floo call us the second you’re settled … yes, good bye Sev, be safe. Minister Blum will meet you at the airport when you land” Gellert pulled his head out of the floo and sat down next to Albus and Narcissa “Severus is for sure going now. Why did I have to ask him to gather information as a representative of the UK in order to do it? I thought he liked Mr. Minitree”
Narcissa sighed “Severus got cold feet last night and decided he wouldn’t go to California”
“and we’re forcing him to go because …” Gellert trailed off waiting for someone to explain.
Albus smiled knowingly “what happened last night when he floo called you Narcissa? … and what does Mr. Minitree look like?”
“a very good looking young man with blonde hair and two different colored eyes, one blue one hazel and about … four inches taller than Sev. I swear I saw Sev swoon when he saw him, but our dense potion master didn’t realize until just last night that, as a director, Harry wouldn’t send an invite without doing a thorough background check. Thus the call at night saying that he won’t be going and he’ll babysit Draco for us while we’re at the conference tomorrow. He hides it very well, but it was obvious he was heartbroken thinking Harry wouldn’t like him” Narcissa explained. It saddened her that her friend thought so little of himself.
“I see” Albus sighed as Gellert sat with him “he realized Mr. Minitree most likely knows about the spying during the war and tried to back out … you wanted to have him go for another reason. That’s a good call”
“yes … he needs to get out of here for a while. Sure Lucius suffered during the war as a spy too, but we all know Severus took the brunt and hasn’t had a chance to get away. I hoped making him go under another reason would get him to finally leave and take the vacation he needs … and maybe come back with a ring on his finger” the witch smiled happily.
“now I get it” Gellert chuckled “that’s why you asked me to convince him to go … I needed to choose a representative anyway so Minister Blum is happy we can finally get things going. The UK is so behind in many advances it’s disturbing, but Severus was a great choice … so you think he’ll come back with a ring?” he asked. Both he and Albus looked amused and happy at the thought.
“oh yes” Narcissa smirked “Harry definitely seemed interested in Severus”
XXXXXXXXXX
Severus frowned as he watched a baby in the row of seats across from him begin crying and the mother begin fussing “I wonder if Harry would want kids-…” he quickly shook those thoughts from his head trying hard to remember that Harry knows everything. There was no way the man would want a former spy as a lover least of all one that looks like him.
A very low self-esteem has plagued Severus since he was very young. It keeps him from really looking around at the people casting glances his way. He had no clue people were checking him out. His abusive childhood and popular students in school, like James Potter, bullying him didn’t help at all, but even though he didn’t everyone else noticed how good he looked in his jeans and black button down shirt …
Despite the fact that he knew Harry wouldn’t be interested in him it didn’t stop him from nearly running off the plane to meet Minister Blum who was waiting in a car for him …
“so good to see you again Mr. Snape. Please call me Adina, we will be see each other pretty often with you being the representative for the UK” the minister opened the door for him to get in and the driver took his luggage to put in the trunk.
“then please call me Severus” the potion master shook her hand making her smile.
“oh we are going to get along beautifully Severus! Thank you for choosing to fly on a plane instead of the wizarding routes. It’s less paperwork for convincing muggles you exist-Oh how silly of me! Since you had so little time to prepare for coming here I brought some files on available homes that are owned by Decoction and are allowed for only the researches working there. They’re very close to Decoction and in magic friendly zones” Adina snapped her fingers and a set of five files appeared out of the compartment between the driver’s seat and the front passenger’s seat and floated in front of Severus “you don’t have a rent as long as you work at Decoction, but you of course can move anywhere else if you decide to later”
Severus twitched, he clearly wasn’t used to traveling since he hasn’t even thought about a place to live “thank you Adina” as the car drove to his new work he looked through the files. Each property was beautiful! Infinitely better than his house at Spinner’s End, which was never a good place to live
“they are for R&R so really they don’t come with a potions lab, but Decoction provides everything at their facility even your own personal lab. They are also big on safety there … guess they don’t want their prized researchers blowing themselves up” Adina chuckled.
“indeed” Severus smirked as he flipped through the files, it will take some getting use to not having a lab right with him, but really he never should have been doing that without a backup plan in case something went wrong. Narcissa tried to make him get a house elf to keep an eye on him, but he stubbornly refused “this one” he chose after sulking over not knowing the name of Harry’s warded zone.
Adina flicked at the other flies and they went back in the compartment leaving only Severus’s choice behind “oh la la, a beach front home. You’ll love that beach, it’s a beautiful spot” she told the driver to turn around and drive past the house first before going to Decoction.
As the car turned around she tapped the picture in the file and a silver key popped out ”this is meant to hold your magic. Put your magic in and unlock the house. Once you do you’re locked in the wards and the key will vanish cause the house will then only respond to you or those you invite in- ah! There is your new home”
Severus glanced out of the window and immediately thought the picture didn’t do it justice. It was a unique one story home with a circular shape on the right side with large windows showing perhaps a kitchen and sliding glass doors showing off a lovely living room where you could just walk right out onto the porch. The porch was big, raised up off the grass only steps from the sandy beach and shaded with a pergola that had some vines growing on the columns.
All the students at Hogwarts would have heart attacks if they saw the ‘dungeon bat’ living here. For some reason they were under the impression he was a vampire with no soul that will combust if he was hit by the sunlight …
“the wards should offer more privacy, but other than that wow! Would you like to connect to the wards now or head to Decoction first?” Adina asked.
The potion master came out of his daze “I’ll do that now” he unbuckled his seat belt, slid out of the car. With help from the driver he unloaded his luggage and took it up to the wood path. He walked up the slightly sandy wood path and up the steps to his porch listening to the glistening waters splashing against the shore. The beautiful vines that crawled up the rails and columns also laced through the rest of the pergola over his head and had beautiful circular pink flowers scattered every few inches.
After admiring the flowers he passed the simple out door whicker chairs and went to the front door. He put the magic charged key into the keyhole and turned until he heard the click. Adina was right the key suddenly disappeared and he tested it by opening the door slightly. Something about seeing the door open for him made him happy. He set his luggage just inside the door, shut the door and went back into the car with the minister …
“the UK needs help even with security like that … what kinds of vines are those?” Severus asked as he put his seat belt back on.
“those my dear Severus are California Morning Glories” Adina smiled as the car took off again “you can walk to our magical world, but we’ll drive” the car drove only four blocks down and up to the large fountain with a statue of a woman holding a crystal ball over her head that looked like water was coming from it at the of a four way intersection.
The driver stuck his head out the window and up at the statue of a woman where he said ‘look alive’. The water changed it’s spray to make a canopy of water forming a tunnel and a little path appeared under the water going into the statue “we are right at the intersection of two warded neighborhoods so muggles can’t even see our witching ball fountain entrance to our magical town of Firelights. The password does change twice a month. Just go to the wizarding TV channel 13 to get updates. It looks like static to muggles … oh and don’t worry about walking up to the statue and getting plowed over by a car. The statue controls the traffic so one is hurt” she said as the driver went in the water tunnel.
Severus was startled at the sudden change of scenery as they went straight through the base of the statue and came out the other end on a different bustling street. The huge buildings, some old brick buildings with vines and others tall modern towers, were much like muggle construction except for the odd floating domes that flew from tower to tower. He watched in fascination as they drove passed several shops and people. There was one three story brick castle like building with three tall towers that had children running around playing behind the safety of a strange moving fence. The sign made the potion master’s jaw completely drop …
‘Cuddly Crups Preschool and Orphanage’ and the modern building right across the street from it had the sign ‘MCSS – Magical Children Social Services’ …
“ok … Adina I know the first three things the UK needs help with … Squib Bylines, an orphanage and a child’s social services … ” the look the US minister gave him was one of pure shock “when Gellert said we were behind it was an understatement of massive proportions” said Severus seriously.
Adina turned serious at the information. The implications of not having those kinds of systems in place were not pretty “I’ll get detailed profiles of the systems to you for review. The Squib Bylines are best left to the one who made it. Harry will love to help being he originally came from the UK and has been trying to push it through to the UK for years … he was denied. Your former minister was a idiot”
“yes, Fudge was an utter fool and a coward. It took Gellert years after the war to clean up what damage was done” Severus scowled, but he was also wondering about Harry. A squib in the UK did not have it easy at all … if they were even allowed to live that is. Though he tried not to show it the thought of spending time with the director was making him almost … giddy.
“and here we are! Welcome to Decoction!” the minister switched back to her cheery self and pointed to an amazing building. It was a seven story tall perfectly circular structure that was red brick for the first five stories and almost all glass for the top two. Decoction was a little separated from the rest of town and sitting on a lot of land that had an equally tall large glass dome that was connected by a glass tunnel to the main building at ground level and at the sixth level where it looked like there was a boardwalk with plants hanging from it “both buildings are Decoction, but the dome is dedicated to Herbolgists. There is even a set of magical Zoologists there to raise certain creatures and insects. The buildings are connected under ground to. Well I’ll leave you here and get started on those profiles. Harry can help you … well, anyone here would. My wife, Jessica, is an Herbologist so she’ll help too. See you Severus”
The potions master barely came out of his daze as she hugged him or even as he got out of the car or as she was driven away. It wasn’t until he came up to the glass door that he realized that this place was real and not some awesome dream. The symbol on the glass doors were two vines coming down and making a circle before crisscrossing an going upwards to hold up a bubbling cauldron …
“invite, business or appointment?” stated a voice from the glass.
Severus blinked and pulled out his invite “invite” he showed his invite only to see it disappear.
“your magic has been recorded. Welcome to Decoction Potion Master Snape” the doors flew open and after a moment of hesitation Severus walked in. he saw a few people right off the bat. It looked like they were accessing ingredients in vials, but he didn’t pay them much mind after seeing Harry coming towards him in a white lab coat that looked really good on him …
Harry smiled “it’s good to see you Mr. Snape”
“please call me Severus” said the dark haired wizard who wanted to focus, but his heart was having trouble slowing down to a normal rhythm. Those eyes were doing things to him he has never felt before.
“Severus then” Harry smiled and Severus nearly fainted at the sound of his name coming from those lips “I came to show you around”
“ok” Severus had to pinch his own arm to make himself snap back to reality “yes and I’d like to speak with you about the Squib Bylines too”
The blonde guided him to the doors leading to the tunnel dome “I’m happy to give you everything you desire-whoa!” Harry caught Severus around the waist before he hit the floor “are you ok?”
“y-yes … I tripped” Severus gasped with a light blush as he felt the strong arms around his (how the bloody hell am I going to focus when he says things like that?) Severus mentally whimpered as he reluctantly steadied himself and pulled away from Harry so the tour could continue.
The Verdure Dome, as it’s called, was enough to make him kick himself for even considering not coming. Nearly every species of magical plant and useful non magical were all right there being tended to by diligent Herbologists who were using their skills to also create new breeds of plants!
Then Harry took him down a ramp that went under the buildings to show more plants and a large viewing room to show underwater plants. Apparently the main Decoction building was shaped like a disc meaning there was a center portion that wasn’t the building. It’s where they keep a huge enclosure with other plants and a large pool ecosystem that was what was viewable from under the facility.
“this place is amazing! The UK only has St. Mungo’s as a testing facility … nothing even close to this” said Severus as he looked out at a floating bushel of moss hiding a very rare fish whose scales are very potent in potions … and something he couldn’t even dream of being able to afford on a teacher’s salary.
Harry smiled softly “we will be working on that and since you mentioned testing. The 2^nd, 3^rd, 4^th and 5^th floors are dedicated to testing. You have to present a description of your potion to the medical staff as well as what is in it and they get volunteers to test it. Of course giving updates and letting you see what’s going on. If they approve we get a conference scheduled. All presentations are on the 1^st floor … want to see you lab?” the dueled colored eyes watched the raven haired wizard from behind the slim frames with a barely seen shyness.
“lab? … yes of course!” Severus eagerly followed Harry to a glass elevator that took them to the top floor and walked out onto a beautiful hall with black tiled floors and brick walls. Every few numbered rooms they passed was a green carpeted section with comfy seating and tables. Harry let Severus open the door to lab 234 explaining that only Severus could unless there’s an emergency … so he did and his jaw dropped “this … this is my lab?”
Harry chuckled at the look of awe on Severus’s face “yep”
The huge potions lab was wall to wall full of dark wood shelves filled with tools and ingredients and had a large sink that was only a fraction of the blue countertop space provided. A large island in the center of the room had five burns for cauldrons, which were shrunk down and placed under the island. A door lead to a personal bathroom and shower and a glass ceiling over the burners for perfect moonlight with optional blackout completed the deal.
“the counter moves to form a bed in the circumstance that you have potions that need two brew over night, but you can use the floos or just leave and return at any time and we don’t allow eating in the labs” Harry smirked as Severus shot him a look that said ‘what idiot would do that anyway?’ “when you get hungry you pick the foods you want on this tablet on the wall and the cafeteria on the first floor will have a house deliver it at which ever sitting area you decide to sit at” Harry watched as Severus examine the digital tablet on the wall “I’ll meet you later tomorrow to discuss the Squib Bylines so you can look around. Right this second it seems I have a meeting, but so you know my lab is 105. Oh and don’t bring chocolate into the building”
Severus raised an eyebrow at the strange rule “a rather odd restriction”
The blonde sighed “I know … Draco informed you about Doc’s strange quirkiness?” Severus scowled the name his godson told him and nodded “being a ward master he has a very easy time getting in and out of places despite how often we upgrade. His motives are, if not just random, mainly chocolate oriented … if you want to bring a sweet bring strawberries too” a rather devious smirk formed on the blonde’s lips made Severus shiver in need “he’s allergic … good day Severus … ”
Harry left the room, but stopped after walking just a few feet away and turned to see the door to lab 234 automatically close “I’m hopeless … how do I ask him out? … Damn …” he hissed quietly and went to his meeting …
XXXXXXXXXX
The UK representative was going through his mind to bring back all those potion ideas he had when he was young and started truly researching what could be done. He spent hours simply theorizing and going to meet the Herbologists to review all the ingredients available. Now he had a solid plan in place for tomorrow and will start brewing then after speaking with Harry.
A few other potion masters happily introduced themselves and he felt surprisingly quite welcome, but one older potion master simple glared at him. Not that did much to unsettle someone who worked as a double agent against a dark lord, but it was something to watch out for. He pushed aside the thoughts of the jerk potion master and explored the magical town. With all his groceries bought he went to his new home.
Everything was put away, his clothes unpacked, books put on the empty bookshelves and a few pictures were set up on the bookcase and desk. Save for one picture of him and his mother with a cauldron he had no other family photos since the camera broke in one of his father’s fits … they couldn’t afford another. The rest were of him with Narcissa or Lucius or Draco or Albis and Gellert. He didn’t even have a picture of his childhood friend Lily who broke off their friendship years ago. He had everything of value right here.
Severus ate dinner as he watched the evening light. It was too tempting not to go out on the porch and relax so he did. It was so nice just to relax for a change, but he realized he forgot to call Albus and Gellert. Just as Severus got up to inform his friends he made it safely he spotted someone on the water surfing on an orange surf board “bloody hell …” he gaped …
It was Harry! A sexy, tan, muscled and dripping wet Harry with a pair of black swim trunks who was paddling his surf board towards the shore after the wave receded … right towards Severus … once Harry got on the sand he spotted Severus …
