Potions Ingredients

Chapter 11: Potions Ingredients

Harry sighed softly, glancing out the window, watching the students fly and play at practicing their Quidditch moves. He looked back into the library where he'd endured the presence of Severus Snape every day for the past two weeks. If not in here, then he was off in the potions lab with Draco and he'd hardly had a moment alone with him.

He returned his attention back to the game and watched as SimHarry and SimDraco played with their children, running about and throwing water balloons. He grinned softly, entertained at least by their silly antics.

"Professor Potter?" One of the school's house elves appeared at his side, timidly slipping a note onto the table before she vanished once more.

Harry picked up the note, frowning slightly.

"Trouble, Harry?" Draco asked, looking up from his work.

"Oh, nothing major. It's one of my students; a Ravenclaw named Elaine Edgecombe. She's gotten herself into trouble in my classroom, it seems." Harry said, rising immediately and striding for the door.

"Edgecombe? She's usually not a problem at all." Draco murmured, looking rather surprised.
"It seems that today she's decided to make an exception. I just hope she's not taking after Hermione." Harry commented with a grin as he headed out of the room and Draco laughed.

Snape smirked, turning the page to search for the next item. A few more days and they should have everything they needed to complete this potion and Draco would finally be satisfied…

--------------------A few hours later…--------------------

Harry moved back into the library feeling rather disgruntled. Miss Edgecombe had not only 'gotten in trouble' in his class; she and one of the Slytherin students, Rondo Mockridge, had nearly turned his classroom upside down. He'd been hours putting everything back in place even with the assistance of the two wayward students. Elaine had been very apologetic and embarrassed; it seems the two had been practicing more than spell work and having gotten caught playing such an obviously sexual game was something she did not want getting back to her family. Mockridge had merely been smug; he'd have to tell Draco all about what those two were up to and bring it up before the school council to decide whether or not to tell their parents. He'd just sent Miss Edgecombe on to the hospital wing to ensure she would not end up pregnant from the escapade.

Neither Snape nor Draco seemed to have moved, though the pile of books on the table to be gone through was much smaller. "Any idea when you two will be finished with that potion…?" he asked.

"Two days, perhaps more." Severus answered, not looking up. "If you don't mind, we must focus on what we are doing…!" He said in an irritated tone. Draco rose from the table and hurried out of the room, a paper in hand, to check his potions stores.

Harry sighed and moved back to his little table under the window, hitting a key on his keyboard to get the little computer out of sleep mode. "May as well play some more…" he grumbled, sitting down.

While he'd been gone, the Sims had continued with their lives. The twins were kids now, running about on the play equipment he'd put outside for them.

SimHarry and SimDraco were snogging in the bed, and a glance at their memories showed they'd woo-hoo'd at least once and even gone to work and back; days had passed in the game. He grunted. At least the Sims were having fun… wait a bloody minute. He paused, frowning, going back to the main screen. Where was Aren? He zoomed out and there was no sign of the green toddler. "What the bloody hell?" he muttered.

"Something wrong, Potter…?" Snape asked, looking over at him with an irritated look.

"I can't find the alien baby; he's gone…" he answered, searching the entire land area. Even the icon for the child on the left hand of the screen was gone. What the hell had happened…?!

"Alien child…?"

"My game, Severus. You know I've been playing this…"

"Ah, yes… rather interesting game." Severus drawled, turning his pointed nose back toward his books.

"What do you know about it?" Harry asked suspiciously, remembering when SimSeverus had gone ballistic the last time he'd left the computer in the room with Severus and Draco.

"I do keep up with some muggle trends; I even have a computer of my own."
Severus said, rising, setting his quill aside. "Tell Draco I will return in the morning; it is growing quite late…"

"But where's the baby…?"

Severus went to the door, and then paused, giving Harry a wicked smile over his shoulder. "What else, Potter…? Potions ingredients."


*AUTHOR'S NOTE: Every once in a while there's a weird glitch on
Sister_Slytherin's Sims game and Sims just go 'poof'. Gone. But if you shut down and restart, they're there and there's no problem whatsoever with them. Since Severus knows a bit about this game, I figured he just peeked at the screen and saw what had happened, cleared the error, then walked off and took credit for the disappearance... Typical Snarky Snape...!
