Harry shook his head and set the bags on the floor. He grinned as he bent over to rifle through the wads of fabric in the bags until he found the fun part of his costume. Pulling out the green spandex from the bag, he stretched them and flung it like a rubber band over at Snape.

"Catch."

Snape caught fabric and held it as though it were alive and ready to bite ( ... )

Harry bit his lip at the look and grabbed Teddy around his waist, flipping him upside in a single fluid motion that set the boy screaming with laughter in protest. He glanced up at Snape, worried about what he was thinking.

"You really don't have to wear it," he said, dodging a flailing foot.

"All but the mask," Snape conceded. "At least the pants won't show every contour of my body, not that it actually has any to speak of, unlike someone in this room.

He arched his brow at Harry.

Snape was trying to get past the moment, not wanting to ruin things for Teddy.

"Speaking of which, why don't you try on your costume," he said, smirking at Harry. "So I can examine your contours before agreeing to leave the house with you."

Harry laughed and slowly lowered Teddy down.

"And if those contours meet your approval?" he asked, sauntering over to snatch the green tights back.

"You too Sev'us!" Teddy ordered, running to Snape and shoving his costume into his hands. "Then we can play!"

Snape ignored Teddy, his eyes on Harry. "Then we'll discuss what it is I'm getting if I attend this party with you."

Amused, Harry picked up the bag with the rest of his costume and held it up. "Teddy does have a point. Yours might actually fit over your clothing right now. Mine..." Harry simply grinned. "I think I'm going to like that conversation."

Snape groaned, but rose to his feet. "This is ridiculous," he muttered, scowling at Harry.

Even as a child he didn't dress up for Halloween, it seemed just as silly now as it then. More so.

And yet he was going to the bedroom to change, Teddy gleefully 'flying' around the room behind him.

"It's fun," Harry retorted and bolted toward the bedroom in case Snape thought it'd be fun to hex him instead.

Snape reluctantly put on his costume, muttering the entire time. When everything was finally in place, he went to the mirror to see the damage.

He was pleasantly surprised that he didn't entirely foolish. He adjusted the cape, pulling it around him. It almost looked like robes. He could have done without the fake pectoral muscles, but it did look better than his own sunken chest.

Teddy didn't bother knocking, just burst into the room, jumping up on the bed to look at him. "You look like me now! Put on your hat!"

"No hat," Snape said, grabbing Teddy around the middle and carrying him out of the room under his arm.

a_jade_phoenix October 26 2008, 22:31:42 UTC

"But I wanna see the hat!" Teddy whined, but he didn't fight his way out of Severus' hold.

Harry sneaked out of his room quietly after they went by and snagged himself a fistful of Snape's cape and followed him out. He put a finger to his lips to tell Teddy to keep quiet once he was spotted, but that didn't stop Teddy from giggling.

reluctant_pawn October 26 2008, 22:34:18 UTC

"You fail at stealth, Potter," Snape said, not turning around as he dropped Teddy onto the sofa.

The truth was, he didn't want to turn around. He wanted to see Potter, but he wasn't certain about Potter seeing him.

Grabbing the edges of his cape, he wrapped it around himself in a dramatic fashion before turning to face Harry.

a_jade_phoenix October 26 2008, 22:37:13 UTC

Harry grinned into the back of Snape's shoulder, before stepping back and letting Snape turn around. He couldn't laugh. He didn't want to.

"See? Not all that bad is it?" Harry asked, stepping forward to finger Snape's gloves.

reluctant_pawn October 26 2008, 22:40:33 UTC

"It's horrific," Snape argued, stepping back to look at Harry.

"You look like you fell into a giant vat of Christmas cheer," he said, his eyes traveling down Harry's body. The spandex was appallingly tight, but he was having a hard time finding anything wrong with that.

He unconsciously licked his lips, his eyes darkening.

a_jade_phoenix October 26 2008, 22:48:38 UTC

"Nothing wrong with that either," Harry chuckled, wrapping a wad of Snape's cloak around his wrist. He tugged Snape close to him and grinned beatifically.

"Holy abs of steel, Batman, do I pass inspection already?"

reluctant_pawn October 26 2008, 22:53:11 UTC

"It may just become your new house uniform," Snape smirked, putting his hands on Harry's waist. "I wonder how it would look without the red bit," he murmured, his thumbs brushing across the material.

Teddy quickly pushed his way between them, holding tightly to Peek Boo. "Can Peek Boo have a costume too?" he asked, holding her up to Harry. "But not a dog," he said quickly.
