Harry hurriedly caught up with Snape, leaving the other two to follow at a distance. He thought they might decide to do a runner, but it seemed unlikely, he and Snape were, after all, their best chance of getting away.
“I’m sorry this has gone so badly wrong,” Harry began. “I just wanted to give you a break and have something to look back on to keep you going for the next few weeks of term.”
“I shall have something to look back on alright,” Snape grumbled.
“I’d even bought new silk underwear, the sort you like, which I was planning on wearing for you; at least for a few minutes.”
“What colour?”
“One pair emerald, one pair ruby. It was to be your choice.”
“Why didn’t you say so before?”
“There wasn’t the opportunity. It was going to be a surprise.”
“This whole break has proved a surprise. That was one I would actually have liked.”
“I know. I’m sorry. Maybe we could somehow manage to salvage one night.”
“No tent?”
“No tent.”
“A decent bed and my favourite silk underwear? Well, desperate times call for desperate measures.” Turning round Snape shouted out, “Oy, you two pillocks, get over here now.”
Turnpuddle and his companion arrived at a run; the voice of their ex-potion master clearly still having power over them.
“This is what we’re going to do,” Snape said.
