Summary: Snape toasts to failure.

***

While Harry takes his Potions O.W.L. in the Great Hall, Snape sits in his office and toasts to the boy’s failure.

He does not want him in his N.E.W.T. class next year.

He will not put up with another year of Lily’s eyes staring insolently at him from the face of an ungrateful whelp.

Snape knows not letting Potter in his class next year will crush the boy’s dreams of being an Auror.

He likes that thought; after all, it was Potter’s precious father who crushed Severus Snape’s dreams during his O.W.L. year.

It’s only fair to return the favor.

“No?”

Pansy smirked at the disbelief in his voice. Draco still wasn’t used to being refused anything, even though the Malfoy name had lost considerable respect since the war.

“No,” she repeated, relishing the wounded look on his face.

“But Pansy – it’s what you’ve always wanted. To be a Malfoy –”

She laughed bitterly, interrupting him. “It’s what I wanted, before. But I happen to know Daddy told you to marry, and you assumed I’d be happy to go along with the idea. But your family isn’t exactly on top, anymore, Draco.”

“Neither is yours,” he shot sullenly.

“No, it’s not.”

“…Therefore, as much as it pains me to give up my prize, I would offer you the Boy-Who-Lost as a reward.”

Severus inhaled sharply; the last thing he wanted was Potter – but one didn’t refuse a gift from the Dark Lord if one wanted to stay in favor. And alive.

Then, across the room, he spotted a familiar pair of brown eyes watching him, clearly pleading ‘please save me, please pick me.’ She was crouched behind the Lestranges, and was, he realized, the solution to his quandary.

“My Lord, you are extremely generous, but respectfully, I would prefer a female….”

Disclaimer: Not mine.

The note was crumpled in Pansy’s cold hand, but she’d memorized the words.

“Midnight. Lake.”

The parchment had been delivered to her by Draco’s eagle owl that morning. He usually just pulled her aside in the common room when he wanted to talk to her; she wondered about the change in routine.

So here she was, at midnight, waiting by the lake for Draco. She’d been here at five minutes to midnight, but it was now twelve thirty, and he had yet to show.

But finally she heard his footsteps cracking over fresh snow, and she turned to greet him.
