The Suitor's Secret by Knightsky is short, light, and funny. Precisely what I needed, after re-reading If You Are Prepared!
Harry is studying Defence with Snape, secretly. Trelawney outs him to Hogwarts by announcing that his "ordained match" is Draco Malfoy. This gives Draco the kernel of a brilliant scheme: seduce Harry with a spell and hand him over to Voldemort. Unfortunately, he didn't count on Snape...
Severus felt like swearing, so he did. Malfoy turned to him in confusion.
“What’s the matter, sir?” he asked
“What’s the matter?” Severus felt his blood pressure rising. “You’ve just aimed an illegal love spell at Harry Fucking Potter, on school property no less, and you’re asking me what’s the matter?”
“Didn’t just aim at him, sir,” Draco replied, with an alarming lack of concern. “Got him.”
Severus barely had time to brace himself for impact as Harry threw his weight upon Severus’ frame with the full force of teenaged enthusiasm.
“No Mister Malfoy,” Severus said, “it looks like I’ve got him.”
With minions like these, Voldemort doesn't need an archenemy.
