Ghostly Curse

Ch 13

Ch 13 - It’s Me!

“Me is sorry, Master Severus. But Mistress Hermione and Master Malfoy not’s seeing any but each other for a whiles, sir.”

Severus’ brow furrowed and he drew back from the little elf in confusion. “Pardon me? But I was under the impression that they needed my help to solve Malfoy’s unfortunate malady?”

Mud brightened and offered Snape a smile then. “Oh, no Master Severus. Mistress Hermione fixed him all up yesterday. He all better now.”

The house elf paused when he saw the dark wizards face darken. Taking a slow step back from him, he whispered, “Master Severus not happy for news?”

The murderous expression on Snape’s face was enough to send Mud scurrying away from him in fear. “Master Draco!” The little elf yelled, even as he popped out of the room and left Severus alone in the foryer.

Severus didn’t wait long. Draco appeared at the top of the spiral staircase a moment later, wearing a dark green robe and looking completely like a content playboy. As he made his way down the stairs he offered Snape a devilish smile. “Good morning, Godfather. Care for some breakfast?”

The older wizard glared at the younger. “No. I’ve already eaten.” Tilting his head, he queried, “What’s this about your father’s miraculous recovery?”

Draco smiled widely and shrugged. “Well, Severus, I guess the best explanation is to say that for once, Hermione took your advice and,” he lowered his voice and asked, “What was the phrase you used? Oh, yes… She fucked the statue.”

Severus face lost all expression as the blood drained out of it. For a moment, Draco wondered if the older wizard was going to pass out. When he recovered, he asked, “And why is it that I cannot see her?”

Draco shrugged again and chuckled. “Several years have passed since father has been able to fully enjoy the company of a woman. Suffice to say, I believe that they are getting a little better acquainted for the next month.”

As he spoke, Angelina had made her way down the stairs as well and rested her head on Draco’s shoulder for a moment before placing a gentle kiss to his neck. “Yes, I do believe that’s what we were doing as well.” She looked pointedly at Severus.

“It’s a weekend, Severus. We didn’t call. Why aren’t you at home worshipping your wife’s gloriously beautiful body?” She clicked her tongue at him before adding. “She won’t be pregnant forever. You should enjoy this time when you aren’t bothered by her woman’s menses each month.”

Draco quirked an eyebrow when Severus reddened even more. Stepping closer to him, he agreed. “Yes. Why aren’t you home making Ginevra feel as if she’s a goddess in your eyes?”

Severus’ jaw twitched in irritation. “Well, since I am no longer needed here, I will take my leave.”

As he turned to go, Angelina rushed forward. “Oh, Severus?” Whenhe turned back to look at her, she quickly blew a powder into his face, whispering, “Hear how you‘ve hurt the ones around you!…”

For a moment, he stood there blinking at her, a look of confusion marring his features. She smiled sweetly and backed away to stand beside Draco. “Have a wonderful day.”
He returned her smile, as if nothing untoward had happened and nodded. “You as well.” Again he turned to leave, adding. “Give Lucius and Hermione my best.”

After he left, Draco turned to Angelina with a sly smile. “You sneaky little vixen. You don’t play fair!”

She giggled madly and tip-toed away from him slowly. “Yes, I know… Perhaps I should be punished.”

When the blond man before her nodded and started to pursue her slowly, she shrieked and turned to race back up the stairs, only to have her sprint after him. “Yes. I daresay you are in desperate need of a good shag!” Tearing up the stairs after her, he found himself laughing as he looked forward to a day spent worshipping his own witch’s body.
