I had the misfortune of running into a pack of harridans yesterday evening that claimed they were my spiritual wives and that they channeled my spirit into holy matrimony, and one claimed their prayers had summoned me through the Porter.

They had to be removed by security, and were the cause of my change of clothes for today, to attempt to make it more difficult for their ilk to find me.

Apparently, I only attract romantics and the insane.

[This is Snape's life.]

[there's a moment of silence, and then. Sally kind of just. laughs.

she's had her fair share of crazy fans ~~Eddie being her biggest one...woops~~, but the spiritual part was a bit.

well......]

And Hollis used to call my fans bad.

[she takes a moment to control herself, inhaling.]

Just goes to show that love makes folks do crazy things. Especially the impossible sort.

[Snape just smirks and shakes his head.]

It's best that it's not spoken of, isn't it?

[He pauses, and then asks, a bit quieter.]

You'll forgive me my deception, then? Or at least understand -- my thoughts on it's necessity.

[she waves his apology away in a good-natured manner.]

Trust me hon, I understand. We all got something to hide.

[Satisfied, Snape lets it go. She's found him out, he'll learn to cope and hope that awkward questions remain at a minimum.]

How did you end up here, anyway? Unless you're a secret witch and have been hiding it all this time...?

I have my connections.

[there's a coy smile.]

You're not the only magic-user I know.

I'm not? Miss Jupiter, you've been keeping secrets of your own. You'll have to introduce me.

Unless they're of my world -- we are ridiculously numerous here.

Well the one who told me about this thing was from your world I think. Him an' his brother run a shop.

[she has one of their Day Dream Charms waiting for her back at her hotel room, after all.]

An' I've known Zee for awhile. I would've figured all you magic users somehow get to know each other one way or another.

Ah, the twins. Yes, they were students of mine. Bright boys, but chose strange avenues for their talents. Nothing but trouble in the classroom.

[But, then, they're Weasleyss. What can you expect from a Weasley?]

Ze-- Zatanna? I've only spoken to her over the comm; I've yet to catch her here. A very busy woman. Perhaps you can introduce me later.

If they're making money, it's not strange at all. I like some of the stuff they're selling in that shop of theirs.

[because she may or may not be developing a slight addiction to their Day Dream Charms WOOPS.

Sally looks around, as though trying to spot Zee out in a crowd to get introductions out of the way. Instead she catches a glare or two from people who've recognized just who she's talking to, and turns her attentions towards Snape again, brushing it off.]

Oh I'll be sure to introduce the two of you when there's an opportunity.

[Snape glances with her and -- oh god, fans. Fans giving him dirty looks for being with the wrong red-head. Or not Ysera. Or not them. He can't tell. All of them are crazy, as far he's concerned.]

Yes, certainly. [If he's agreeing about the twins and business, or Zee, who can tell? For now, he just gestures.] It'll be some time before I see Callie - let me buy you a drink and get out of the sight of my loving fans... who are looking at you like they may start another brawl.

[unsurprisingly, Sally's used to the glares. she may have been a favourite among the male populace, but as for the women of her time...well...it was a hit or miss. most of them hated her and the message she seemed to "spread", while others just hated her because their boyfriends or husbands hid pin-ups and tijuana bibles of her.

so, because she's just that kind of woman who thrives off both negative and positive attention, she takes this as an opportunity to playfully link her arm in Snape's.

personal space? what personal space.]

Lead the way, hon.

[You know, it's not even the pheromones that allows him to accept that contact. Spite against those-- those crazy women and their friends, THAT allows him to endure.]

[Snape runs on hate and determination. No more, no less.]

There a hotel bar not far from here... [He'll head there straightaway, and let people gawp, talk, or -- hopefully, not notice the Muggle wit the red-head that isn't Lily Potter.]

[she seems to brighten up at the mention of a bar, letting him take charge as they walk through the con towards the mentioned hotel bar.]

Taking a gal like me out for a drink? My, what would your wives have to say to that?

My wives can get stuffed. I'd rather spend time with you then that flock of harpies. They've already assaulted one woman, though -- so do keep that in mind. I think the worst of the lot were taken away the first day, though.

[Oh look, a glorious bar. Sally will be happy.]

[And seated at that glorious bar, a woman who is most certainly not a redhead. She's considered herself lucky so far -- only a handful of people even recognized her, and most just mistook her for her sister.]

[The ones who did know who she was, though, had been traumatic enough. She could've gone her whole life without knowing what the term 'GILF' meant, really.]

[Never mind what dirty theories they had about who was really Nymphadora's father.]

[She's swirling her glass of scotch when she spots Severus and -- no, the hair is different and they're too close, not Lily -- his friend. She flags them over enthusiastically; now she doesn't need to look like the crazy middle-aged cougar-type.]

[she laughs amicably at his response, and then turns her attention to the bar because really, booze is the one thing that's never let her down.

she does a double take when she notices someone waving them over. she doesn't recognize the woman, so she turns to Snape, tugging a bit on his arm as though to get his attention.]

Don't tell me that's one of 'em now.

Oh no, that's one of my compatriots. Andromeda Tonks.

[Snazzed up in his Muggle suit, hair-bound back and looking -- not much ilke himself (which is entirely the point as he is incognito) Snape leads Sally over.]

Sally Juptier, Andromeda Tonks. Andromeda, Sally. I wondered if I'd see you here at all.

Are you to thank for making Severus look dapper, Miss Jupiter? I don't think I've seen you looking so polished since your First-Year Yule Ball.

[Hand-me-downs though they might've been, it seemed as if he'd made a genuine effort for a certain little Gryffindor.]

And now that I've aged myself ...

[She offers her hand out to Sally. She hasn't had too much to drink, but enough to give her a slight glow.]

Pleased to meet you. Severus -- I arrived late this morning. I seem to have slept in a tad after my late evening shift at the clinic.

[there's another one of those amicable laughs, and she takes Andromeda's hand. the shake she gives her is one of someone who's shaken a lot of hands for her time. in short, it was a good handshake.]

I made him spice up that wardrobe of his. Nice to know it's actually helping him out around these parts.

And it's Sally, hon. A pleasure.

Oh, Merlin, don't bring that up. And my wardrobe was quite serviceable, thank you.

[Just sit down ladies, Snape will get drinks and put it on his tags. He esttles in with them. They're going to be women at him, but that's fine; they're not Snapewives.]

Sally, then. And oh, I shouldn't? Someone has to find embarrassing childhood stories to tell your friends, Severus.

[She's tormenting him just a little, if only because he has an attractive lady friend who he hasn't mentioned to her. How rude.]

[Sally takes her seat gladly, and she looks extremely interested when she mentions the embarrassing childhood stories.]

Oh do tell.

[Snape casts a glance to Andromeda, but he trusts her to be kind; if it were Sirius or James, he'd worrry about the pantsing stories, or how many times Snape got into trouble, and so on...]

They're not all that entertaining, I assure you. I was a boring and studious child.

[It's good that she trusts him at least that far. She'd be offended otherwise.]

For the most part, he's telling the truth. Of course, he might be leaving out some stories about pulling out mandrakes...but now might not be the time.

[She turns to Severus.]

I'm sure you've had enough trauma today. More than I, surely.
