Payday
Snape never grinned or smiled, but he did do an evil little smirk. And today his smirk was more than just a touch evil; it was smug evil. He had won the weekly death threat bet the Hogwarts staff had been running since Voldemort’s defeat two years earlier. So far Minerva, Pomona, and Filius had dropped off their Galleons; Snape was just waiting on Potter to drop off his money and then he could go buy that new silver cauldron he needed for his latest experiment.
Snape looked up from the old Potions journal he was leafing through when the door to the teacher’s lounge opened. “About time you got here, Potter. I was starting to think you weren’t going to pay me.”
Harry scowled at him as he walked in, followed by a confused Japanese man. Harry stalked over to where Snape was sitting and pulled a small brown money bag from one of his robe pockets. He started to hand the potions master his winnings but stopped. “Are you going to spend this on potions ingredients?” he asked. “Because I don’t like the idea of my money being used to torture the students.”
“Don’t worry, Potter. I’m spending it on private research,” Snape said, snatching the bag from the other Professor’s hands. Instead of counting his winnings, Snape focused on the man standing behind Potter. “Who the devil are you?”
Harry grinned. “This Yusuke Urameshi,” he said. “He’s here in case the demons actually show.”
Snape gave the demon a once over and snorted. “Poor you,” he said to Yusuke as he stood up. “Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have a class of dunderheads to teach.”
Yusuke watched as the tall, greasy haired man stalked out of the room before turning back to Harry. “What did he mean by ‘Poor you’?” he asked.
“Oh, the last time I had a bodyguard my students used him for target practice and drove him insane,” Harry said as he poured himself a cup of tea. He glanced at Yusuke as he added a bit of milk to his cup. “I wouldn’t worry, though. The Healers say he should be able to function in normal society again soon.”
