"You're wrong about Headmaster Snape, Chelsea!"

Severus stopped, lingering in the shadows as he waited for the reply.

"He's nothing like Zeus! I think…"

"I think you're right, Miss Berger," a familiar voice interjected softly. "Zeus was a rapist and philanderer. Headmaster Snape is more like the Roman god Jupiter, I believe."

"Exactly, Mister Potter-Snape, I think…" The Ravenclaw sixth-year wound-up.

"I think it's five minutes to curfew, ladies, and unless you want to lose points…"

Severus stepped behind Harry, pressing close. "Jupiter?'

"Absolutely," Harry turned in his arms.

Kissing his husband breathless, Severus smirked. "Come to bed, my Cratus."
