Thread: Playing all sides (Fulicious x Malice87)

Ron could tell his little sister was up to something, she was as bad a liar as he was. He didn't know what though. Any other time he would have been compelled to play the big brother. Try to find out what she was up to and then to talk her out of it. Today however, he found himself distracted by his sister. So much so that he only half heard her mention his muggle studies assignment. Huh? A..Yeah, but I can't do anything with it until Harry or Hermione get here...... He trails off, a bit befuddled by the effects if her potion. The closer he got to her the more intense the effect seemed to get. His heart seemed to beat faster and his breath came a little deeper. His skin was flushed and he knew he was blushing. It was that deep blush only gingers had. Their pail skin contrasting with bright red as blood rushes to the surface. That wasn't the only place blood was rushing. Ron could feel his penis start engorge as he came up to meet his sister, making a noticeable bulge under his school robes. I was just about to go look for them. Maybe I should go with you. He tries to clear his head and stay on subject. He knows he shouldn't be having such thought and feelings towards his sister. Still. He moves with her, narrowing the space between himself and the wall. Closing the gap she might escape through. She is close enough he could reach out and touch her. Ginny.... He breaths. Snape was descending the stairs in his way to his classroom. He was leaving Dumbledores office. They had just finished a meeting with the Minister of Magic. It had been about Potter and to a lesser extent the Dark Lord. It had been the usual round over said subjects. The minister firmly believed the Dark Lord had been dispatched when he had battled Dumbledore at the ministry last year. He wanted the world to carry on as though Voldemort had never existed. Furthermore he wanted to make Potter a symbol of this victory and continued campaign against the remaining death eaters. Personally Snape thought the man was a fool believing what was convenient so he didn't have to deal with the fearful realities if the world. Dumbledore on the other hand was no fool. He did not believe the Dark Lord defeated. In fact he denounced the idea with certainty. While Snape had not been there he took Albus at his word when he said the Dark Lord was not vanquished. Initially the headmaster had tried to argue this point to the minister, though he quickly have up when it became apparent that there was no reasoning with the man. Surprisingly Dumbledore had even allowed The minister to use Potter as a figure head, though he did try to limit the extent to which the minister did in the boys interest. This Surprised Snape. More to the point it told him that the headmaster had a larger game at hand than what he had thought. It left Snape considering his position and actions more carefully, trying to see the grander picture of Dumbledore's plan. There would after all come a time when the Dark Lord was truly well and gone. What then? Snape withdrew from his thoughts as he entered the hallway to his classroom. Potter was as expected waiting for him. He had known full well that the meeting would make him late for their lesson, but he had not bothered to inform the son of James Potter of this fact. Instead He took some small satisfaction in knowing he had inconvenienced the boy. He also observed Draco Malfoy. The two boys stared at one another and it was apparent there was no love lost between them. Draco and his aunt were another variable to consider. They had called Snape's loyalty as a death eater into question. Using his continued protection of Potter as leverage for their argument. Snape defended himself by saying he did not believe the Dark Lord gone and that only the Dark Lord had the right to kill potter. While it held water, his reasoning had not convinced Bellatrix. She in turn had convinced her faction of death eaters that he was in fact a traitor. This had made Snape's interaction with that side of the conflict tricky. He knew full well that he needed to be mindful of Draco this year. Malfoy, you should be headed back to your common room shouldn't you. His tone is cool and even, betraying none of the complicated thoughts within, as he addresses the thin boy. Malfoy Doesn't say anything as he turns to leave but the displeasure of Snape's interruption is plain on his face. Turning from the blond Snape continues down the hall until he reaches his door and Potter. Professor. Harry acknowledges as his instructor approaches. Snape does not extend the same courtesy. There will be no lesson today. He states simply before entering the classroom and closing the door behind him. Harry is left in the hallway exasperated but without any course if action against. Left with not other choice he turns to leave.
