Jade and the Silver Dragon

Chapter 15

After spending most of the week on a natural Draco high, Harry found himself with nothing to do on a Friday afternoon. He had just finished assisting Remus with the fourth year Gryffindor and Ravenclaw class, and now had the rest of the day clear of classes. He thought a visit with Severus may be in order... after all, he did promise to visit.... and it had nothing to do with the seventh year Gryffindor and Slytherins that were presently in that specific class at that moment...or that a certain control in his pocket has been giving off a low vibration against his hip since lunchtime.

He made his way to the dungeons, stopping to talk to Hagrid who was on his way to see the Headmaster, then made arrangements for the next day to meet up with Hagrid at his house tomorrow. He went down the stone steps to come to the large imposing wooden door and slowly opened the door to quietly step in. All the students were working diligently on their potions while Severus was at his desk marking assignments by the looks of the red bottle of ink at his side. He noticed that Draco was partnered with Pansy and smiled warmly to them as he passed them.

Severus had looked up and waited for Harry to approach the desk. "What are you doing here, Potter?" He sneered, although not very convincingly.

"I know you miss me, Severus," Harry grinned, coming around to sit at a chair beside Severus facing the class, the control now in his hand, hidden from view.

"How can I miss you when I see you every bloody day, Harry?" Severus said not looking up from his pile of parchments. "Now, what couldn't wait until dinner time?"

"There's a couple of things actually," Harry began as he pressed some buttons, looking towards Draco who had stopped chopping ingredients. "First, I'm having a movie night in my room tonight, and would like if you and Siri could come."

"Did you ask Sirius already?" Severus asked glancing at Harry who was looking elsewhere. He followed Harry's line of vision and was not surprised to see Draco as the object of his gaze. "And who else would be going?" He teased.

"Well, besides you and Siri, I had asked Ron and Hermione," Harry replied pressing the thrusting button faster. "I was going to ask a few others also. Sirius said yes, and I was to make sure to get you to come."

"What time?"

"About eight tonight," Harry replied.

"You said there were a few things to ask me. What else is there?" Severus asked dipping his quill in the ink.

"Hagrid had stopped me on the way down and asked for our help. I guess he has some new creatures he wants us to have a look at tomorrow afternoon. He says there may be some things that you could use for your class," Harry stated looking at Severus.

"Do you know what kind of creatures they are?"

"No. He said they're beautiful though," Harry grinned.

"Sounds frightening," Severus said grimacing at the thought of Hagrid's surprise creature. "Now, since you're here, make yourself useful and give each pair of students three drops of unicorn tears. This ingredient is too rare to trust some of these dunderheads to take the right amount," he instructed, giving Harry the large vial with the dropper in it.

Harry took the bottle and grinned cheekily at Severus before going to the first table, where Ron and Hermione just happened to be. "You guys ready for the unicorn tears?" he asked.

"Yes," Hermione said stirring their potion. "What time tonight?"

"Around eight," Harry said carefully adding the tears.

"Do you want us to bring anything, Harry?" Ron asked.

"No, just yourselves. Got everything taken care of."
