Ah, your prowess at Divination is great.  That little fact is a bright spot in what seems to be a hopeless situation.

Thanks.  Yes, it made sense.  I would think that the whole Divination process is quite subject to interpretation.  Even a vision that could seem as clear as day could have a different meaning than interpreted.

Severus is falling for her, but we know our Potions master.  He won't be very obvious!Draco's too afraid to give his dad false info.  He's been under his thumb for so long, and he's afraid of the man's wrath.  Lucius wanted to find out exactly where Sybill was before doing any reconnaisance of his own.  He wasn't sure whether she was still living in the castle or not.Sybill is being foolish, but I'm not sure I'd do anything differently.  Well, I'm probably not that brave in real life, so I'd be running for my old Hogwarts room before Severus had even finished his first sentence.  Lol.

Or his room!

  Even better!

Oh, yes she is.  She's had enough of hiding, that's for sure.  Hopefully she won't get herself killed because of it.

Well, can't spoil the tension, but that would really be a bloomin' shame if she did get herself killed because of her stubbornness.Evil!Lucius is one of the most fun one's to write!  The man can do anything, I think.  Evil, reformed, repentant, evil, semi-evil, nice-in-disguise, evil... so many hats.

Thank you,

!  I appreciate your kind words.  Sybill is such a fun character when she's wacky, I just had to explore what might happen if all of that was a cover.

I too am more of an SS/HG shipper, but I just couldn't resist this prompt.  I know it didn't contain a request for romance, but I just couldn't help it.  Lol.  The next chapter is ready to submit.  I fully intend to finish this story and have it almost all done on my computer.

They're both a bit obtuse at this time.  In her defense, she has had a negative relationship with him as the batty Trelawney, and really couldn't fathom them being more than friends.  More will be explained eventually.  You'll probably want to shake her for a while.

It seems as if he has, hasn't it?

We'll see more of Harry and his friends in the next chapter too.  I'm glad you found the dinner scene entertaining.  I think Severus was a bit put out by the whole event.  He'll calm down eventully.

Thanks!  Even serious conversations can come across as funny sometimes.

Aw, gee, thanks.  It is nice to see people able to be themselves after such a long time of having to play act for someone else.

Thanks!  It's  a bit of a different prompt and I was intrigued right from the start, but sat on it for a while until I could come up with something that I liked.  I'm glad everything clicks for you and that it works.

I would have never expected it either, but those two are quite full of surprises!

Thanks!  The war ending has left the door open for change on many people's parts.  Severus deserves to let himself be vulnerable, but I'm sure it's hard for him.

I never thought I would say this, but they're kind of cute together.  Who would believed that these two would ever get along?

Hopefully, it will brighten your day for a while.  Even in play, Severus is out to win, it would seem.

It is quite the happy image, isn't it?  Too bad we can't see that on film somewhere.  Lol.

Yup, we couldn't have it all happy all the time.  The poor woman wouldn't know what to do with herself.  Cute teapot.

At least when tea leaves are involved!  We'll find out Severus' take on tea leaves in the next chapter.

Some things just have to be done the old fashioned way.  I'm glad you liked that part.  As for my description, it was a step up from 'it tasted like cigarettes.'  Lol.  Thanks for your kind words.

That's a good idea with the scotch.  She'll have to wait a while before she can get her hands on it though.  Hopefully the staff won't hold a grudge that long!  Wouldn't it be wonderful to have a vanishing spell like that?  I can think of several times when I wished I could make some odd concoction disappear.  A nice woman's offering of tripe tacos comes to mind.  Lol.  Just like Hagrid, her heart was in the right place, but my stomach suffered the consequences.I'm glad you like Severus and Sybill together.  They're forming a fast friendship which will get more serious as time goes on.

I don't think that this woman will ever be Miss Normal!  That would really be unbelievable.
