Snape's POV
    He has finally warmed up, no more cowering he is becoming the boy he should be. We have grown comfortable around each other. He no longer jumps when I touch or when I walk in. He has started to eat normally, still skinny, but better.

    Suddenly the fire place makes a sound and I tell Harry to hide. He scrambles off outside, which is actually better that being inside, I don't know what I'm going to have to say. I quickly block my mind and pretend as if I'm reading. God I love that spell on my fire place, let's me know before someone arrives and blocks them for a second till I allow them. I scan the room for any children toys or books anything that looks like two people would live here. I let whomever wanted in quickly.

    "Hello Severus any reason for the hold up?" Lucius draws out.

    "No I was just reading, lost in thought, I apologize," I say in an annoyed tone. Please don't see through my lies, please.

    "I don't see how you sit here and read all of the time," he huffs out, "Didn't Dumbledore need you, I did think you'd be home."

    "He does, I just needed a getaway from him," I cut in, "Care for some tea?"

"Yes, as long as its not as bitter and horrid as it normally is," he huffs once again.

I walk over quickly placing the kettle on the stove, my favorite is Earl Grey bitter as my cold heart, but I keep mint tea around for guests.

"I still don't understand why you don't have a house elf, they are just wonderful when they do their job correctly," Lucius states clearly annoyed that I'm making tea.

"No need I'm rarely ever here, Hogwarts has plenty there," I brush him off. If he cared about how bratty his son is, he'd realize that child needs to start doing things himself not blaming a damn elf. Can't blame Draco when this is his beloved father.

I pour the tea into two cups on a tray, with lemon slices, sugar and a small pot of honey. I place it on my kitchen island where he is sitting at a bar stool. Then walk over the the chair next to him.

He starts by putting in too much sugar for my taste, well any sugar is too much for me. He then takes a sip.

"Upsetting you prepared it and I have to put in sugar, but it is not bad," he says passive aggressively, of course.

"Why are you here Lucius," I ask blandly. He's really getting on my nerves.

"Rude, I thought we were friends," he says in a offended manner.

    I give him a hard glare, poor Harry having to run, god I hope he doesn't think anything bad, please let him be alright.

    "Okay fine, I know you said no in the letter, but Draco needs a tutor, I need him off my back." He says in a exasperated tone.

    "Lucius I said no, Dumbledore has me working for him right now and I'm close to having plans discovered on Harry Potter. I do not have time to babysit your child Lucius," I say in a annoyed tone. How dare he come into my house unannounced to ask me the same damn question.

    "Okay okay, I'm sorry," he says quickly, finishing the tea, "I'm off now, thanks for the tea!"

    He floos out. Thank god. Now I've got to find Harry, please let him be okay.
