Harry Potter FIC: It's Tradition!

[librasmile]

It's Tradition! 
AKA Welcome to the Family Part 2

Logline: Severus and Aberforth upstairs at The Hogs Head, post-family revelations, a pile of chicken bones, a puddle of gravy, four absconded goats, a dozen glasses of red AND white elf wine, and one good bottle of Ogden's Finest Firewhiskey for Discerning Wizards later...
Rating: T for suggestive situations and salty language
Disclaimer: Severus, Aberforth and assorted goats are all the property of J.K. Rowling, Scholastic Books, Warner Bros. and assorted. I make no money from their use. And I raise a glass of elf-made wine in their honor...don't tell them I kept the firewhiskey for myself *grin*

So...if the old man was my father, that would make Potter his-

Yep.

So, that's why he spoiled the little shit rotten!

Sure puts a kink in your socks don't it?

Did your father piss all over you too?

Mind your tongue! That's your grandfather you're talking about! ...and no, I didn't rate high enough.

Ah, I see.

Pause.

So my treating Potter like crap and his leaving me to die on the floor of the Shrieking Shack-

Was just the two of you following in our bloody- I mean blood family's tradition.

Silence.

I'm going to kill that old - oh wait.

He always did know how to bugger things up. Your Aunt Arianna could tell you...if she were alive...

...So-oo-oo aannnywaay ... when - Merlin forbid - my younger boy, or worse, his older brother - reproduces, I'll finally get my shot at revenge? Hmmph, could be an awfully long wait.
Not if the Weasley chit has anything to say about it. Besides, what do the Muggles call it? It's the circle of life. You just have to accept it.

Not if I snip that circle.

Hmm, I wouldn't say that too loudly around the redhead.

So is that why you never had kids?

...well, when you say "kids..."

The goats are more forgiving, aren't they?

Always.
