In which there is an ego-trip
Chapter Eight
In which there is an ego-trip
Headmaster Albus Dumbledore sat up in his study looking into a mirror, smiling. He was very pleased with himself. Minerva had a choice name for this unfortunate habit of his; the only reason she knew about it was that she had walked in on him enjoying the, er, fruits of his labor in the past. But what was the point of meddling, if not to enjoy it twice?
Now, however, there was a greater question at hand: who is the next target? He had to hand it to himself, his design was flawless and the prototype, the trial run, had gone perfectly. It was the most urgent, and took priority. He had first seen it years ago, but of course it was too early to act then.
He went through a good number of hypothetical plans, but Severus was a difficult target, being as naturally paranoid as he was. Upon reflection, Albus was sure that this was probably his fault, too. A potion would not be possible, Severus was too smart for that, as was Miss Granger; nor would it have the long-lasting effects he was looking for in a solution. There were a few complex charms that might have accomplished his ends, but again there was the issue of sneaking up on Severus.
The lilies had been perfect for just this reason. Attaching the charm to an unexpected object neither of them could ignore, that they would have to deal with--brilliant. Of course he had to be specific when designing the charm particularly in Miss Granger's case, lest someone else touch the flowers and find herself (or himself) instantly attracted to Severus--not that that wouldn't be funny. Another day, perhaps.
When he caught wind of the switch Miss Weasley and Miss Granger had planned, he knew it was the very hand of fate reaching down and nudging him into motion. He immediately modified Severus’ memory so that he forgot about the detention, knowing that Severus would opt to be drunk as anything as he usually was in his evening free time. Again, Albus assumed this was directly related to the life he had forced on the boy. The drink really was bad for him, but at least there was a distraction in place now. Perhaps they could be happy.
But who was next? Who needed the fickle hand of fate (aka Albus Dumbledore, matchmaker extraordinaire) to intervene in his life?
A/N: I hit a bit of a dead spot here, so you tell me. Who is the next lucky couple?
And it just occurred to me that I should probably assure you that the focus of this story will continue to be SS/HG, with a smattering of other, just to amuse folks.
