Challenge #281: Cauldrons and Snitches
Severus loathed to admit that the little dragon was more adept at bribery than a second year should be.
His refusal to allow the solid gold snitches at practice, despite the pouting lips and threatened tears, despite the gleaming gold, platinum and iridium cauldrons presented for his personal use, did not sit well with either father or son.
Severus employed a marked effort to withstand the outrageous offers of hard to obtain potions ingredients and the enticements of rare books.
He had to agree with Plutarch, however, that access to the Egyptian Serapea was worth the remainder of his integrity.
