Blush attractively? Good gods, what am I thinking?
"Toes up your nose, sir? Um, is that what made you turn around last night?"
"Hmph!" How would he know I'd turned around last night, he was supposed to be asleep. Does that mean he was awake and aware of being in my arms and it didn't upset him?
"I'll take that as a yes."
Severus stacked the plates from breakfast and moved them to the bathroom temporarily so that Harry could put down the pies.
"Well, Potter, don't just stand there, set the food down so we can eat."
"Oh, right. Lunch! You know, sir, I wonder what's making the castle cough up decent food now?"
"Who knows what this castle is capable of, seeing as how Albus charmed it."
Severus watched as Harry placed the full plates of food down on the table and nearly spilled the contents onto the mistletoe and letter. Severus picked them up before anything could happen to them. He fingered them absent-mindedly as he continued to watch Harry set the table. Harry watched the professor out of the corner of his eye and especially eyed the mistletoe.
"Maybe we should hang the mistletoe from the ceiling somewhere so it doesn't accidentally get discarded, Professor."
"Yes, perhaps, we should. But first, let's eat the food before it gets cold."
Both men took their seats and began to eat their lunch silently, stealing glances at one another, when they thought the other was not looking.
Several times Harry opened his mouth to say something, anything to break the silence, then thought better of it. As much as he liked to hear his professor talk, most of what came out of that mouth was not polite or cordial. Especially where he was concerned.
For his part, Severus felt that Potter wanted to talk, and for once he would actually welcome a conversation with the young man, but wasn't sure how to break the silence himself.
It was Harry that finally broke down and spoke first. "You know, you never did tell me why you hate Christmas so much...," he said between mouthfuls of savoury pie, while his eyes locked onto his professor's face.
"I said that I might tell you why. It wasn't a guaranteed thing."
"Oh. I see." For some reason, the fact that his professor wouldn't open up to him disappointed him, especially after he had literally bared his soul to the man earlier. Plus, he had been looking forward to knowing more about this man who had been his teacher for almost seven years.
Severus watched the disappointment cross his student's face. And something inside of him shifted, changed...he wasn't sure what to call it. He honestly wants to know more about me. No one has really wanted to know more about me, no one has ever asked me directly what it was that made me hate Christmas, not even Albus.
They finished up their lunch in silence, with Harry clearing up the dirty plates when they were done.
"Should I take these back to the Room of Requirement and wash them there?"
"No, take them to the kitchen. If they haven't disappeared by now, I'm not going to worry about them overly much."
"Alright. Um, since we don't really have anything planned or something to occupy our time until dinner, do you want to try watching a film?"
"A film? Is that what was downstairs in the Great Hall?" Severus enquired.
"Yep. What do you say? Would you like to join me? Who knows, it could be fun."
"Very well, Mr. Potter. Seeing as how there isn't much else to do in this god forsaken place."
Harry chuckled as he gathered up the plates and glasses, happy to have gotten a fairly civil response from Severus. Severus went to the bathroom and retrieved their other dishes and they carried them back to the kitchen. From there they proceed to the Great Hall.
"I wonder if that same film is playing from when we entered the first time." Harry pondered just as they reached the doors. Harry reached for the handle and held the door open for Severus. "After you, sir.
