Disclaimer: I do not own or claim to own any characters, settings, locations, etc. from Harry Potter. All borrowed aspects of the above fandom are used purely for entertainment in a fanwork, and will be returned to their proper fandom and owners scratch, dent, and injury-free.
Author's Notes: Not beta'd, so all mistakes are entirely my own. Can be read on its own, but is also a sequel in my Be My Shelter verse (start at the beginning with Shelter in a Storm, or read the previous piece, Debates & Revelations).



"At least it's a larger room?" Potter offered as they stepped off the elevator. Severus, yet again, only made a noise in response. He'd been doing that since they'd stepped away from the front desk and Potter had begun trying to paint their predicament in a positive light. Not that it was Potter's fault, of course. The blame was entirely on the staff at the front desk, who refused to take any action to rectify their own mistake in booking the reservation.

Finally, Potter seemed to see the futility in further attempts and fell silent as they reached their room.




"A larger room, with a single bed," Severus growled after opening the door and taking a moment to assess the space. They had requested one of the smaller, connected suites, which would have allowed them each their own room, and a small sitting room to share. Instead, they had been given… this.

"Well, at least neither of us was planning on getting any action while we were here, right?" Potter asked and laughed, the sound of it awkward and strained, even before Severus turned a scowl on him.

"Heh…" Potter trailed off with a cough and looked away.




"All right, so it's not ideal,” Potter conceded, “But there's not much we can really do about it now, is there?"

Severus was silent for a moment as he considered the room carefully. It was larger than their original suite would have been, though the increase of space certainly didn't make up for the lack of privacy. Still, with the right… modifications...

Finally, Severus smirked, drawing his wand from the pocket of his robes.

"Since the resort does not deem it necessary to rectify their mistake, I suggest that we take action ourselves to do so for them."




Read the next piece: Great Effort.

Oh no, Severus is too clever for his own good. Share the bed ;)
