Valentine’s Day Application for @therapardalis Ms. Pardalis,
Please accept this application on behalf of the Hogwarts staff, who, it must be admitted, might have a more peaceful Valentine’s Day if one of our number were elsewhere for the evening. Of course, if you already have plans, feel free to disregard.
Name: Severus Snape
Age: I think he would prefer to keep this private, but I’m sure you can make a fairly accurate guess.
Do you like to cuddle?: He does not.
Can we make-out?: I rather think this is out of the question, from both ends.
A night in or dinner out?: A night in, certainly, but he needs to get out of this castle.
Ice cream or chocolate covered strawberries?: Actually, he likes a good blancmange. But you didn’t hear that from me.
What makes you a good Valentine?:
Would you cook for me?: He’s a fair cook (again, you didn’t hear that from me), but it’s probably in everyone’s best interests that you don’t ask him to demonstrate.
Would you let me cook for you?: Please, do not, under any circumstances, go to the trouble. I’m afraid he wouldn’t appreciate it.
Should you decide you have nothing better to do on Valentine’s Day, I will ask him to escort you off the grounds for the evening. (Might I suggest Flourish and Blotts? It might give you both a chance to avoid each other, if that is truly what you’d prefer, and it will certainly keep him occupied for a few hours.)
Again, please feel no obligation, and I am open to discussion if you have any questions or reservations.
Minerva McGonagall
P.S.
If you do decide a visit to Flourish and Blotts is in order, you are welcome to use the Hogwarts account for any purchases — my treat. Goodness knows, Hogwarts would owe you a debt.
