FICLET: Valentine blues
Author: mactunes
Summary: Valentine's day does not amuse certain people. This plot bunny won't let me go after reading Changing Seasons by Magdelena. After HBP and it's a little AU.Unbeta'ed
Disclaimer: Harry Potter universe does not belong to me. I make no money from this. Sigh... if only...
Severus sighed on seeing all those flowers being flown in via owl post. He had an aversion to flowers. His nose was noted as being particularly sensitive to pollens contained in those blasted flowers, especially blood red roses, those famed for having the highest pollen count.
Severus was not alone in flora antipathy, someone was as well. Merlin knows how he detested Herbology, however, he had the use of muggle means of helping him control his allergy, something called antihistamine, courtesy of Miss-Know-It-All.
There were many bouquets of roses this year, as the Dark Lord was finally vanquished once and for all by Potter & Co., people were able to send owl posts without fear that the Dark Lord may sabotage their parcels or bouquets of flowers for their intended valentines.
"ACHOO!" Inevitabilityly, he had to sneeze, or he won't be able to breath. Every single head turned in horror to see his face all blotchy and red from pollens that had fallen on top of his head.
"In the infirmary now!" Minerva screamed at him. Whoever sitting next to him had already given him a wide area, as if he was the plague to avoid at all cost.
Another "ACHOO!" came from another surprising source. "Severus! You too!"
Both of them hurriedly ran from the Hall to the infirmary at once. One of them didn't know what the fuss was all about, the other understood at once what those sneezes meant.
The hallway was filled with the sounds of sneezing as they ran, they were overcame with sneezes that won't leave them alone. They barely made it to Infirmary intact as their faces had now swollen to the point of bursting and tears flowed freely down their face. It reminded Harry of Dudley when he spied their faces on the blurry window panes just before the Infirmary.
"In that room now! Hurry!" Madame Promfrey appeared at the door of the Infirmary with a muggle mask over her face. "I need to sanitize the pathway that you had come through and the hall. Stay in that room and don't come out!" With that said, she left.
"Professor Snape, what is going on?" he wheezed.
"Potential threat to the wizarding population. We are infectious. It won't do to infect the wizard populace with our disease, which can be fatal."
"What was it?"
"Virginity." said Professor Snape after a pause.
"Merlin's! They all know about it now."
"Yes, unfortunatly, Mr. Potter. How is it that you are still unattached?"
"Because the one I love is unattainable."
"Who is that?"
"..."
"Well? Why don't you just take action and get this sneezing all cured?"
"Why didn't you? How come you are affected, at this age?" retorted Harry, blushing furiously.
"I don't need to explain to you, but seeing that we are in the same boat, so to speak, I wasn't allowed to. The potions I make need a clean, chaste person to brew. Neither the Dark Lord or Dumbledore would allow that innocence to be sullied. Nothing should sully their pet potions master's purity." Professor Snape said bitterly.
Harry moved closer and kissed on Professor Snape's mouth. All of a sudden, their faces were no longer swollen and everything's turned striking blinding white. The whole castle was cleansed in an instant.
Hands clapping in the background.
"Well done! That was the most interesting valentine play ever. Even though there is no plot at all."
"That's the idea. Valentine's day need no plot. Just planning to spend a wonderful day with the one you love." Harry looked deeply into Severus Snape's eyes.
"Yes. No plot needed. Forgive us if we don't stay. I have a surprise for Harry. Don't wait up for us tomorrow morning. Good day!" Severus hurriedly pulled Harry towards the dungeons where they could have peace and quiet for the rest of the day, just the two of them.
~The End~
