Severus is allergic to Potter’s owl. Every time he spots the beast, Severus’s face heats up, his palms start sweating, and an awful, squirmy feeling settles in his gut.
“That’s not an allergy,” Poppy explains, “You’re describing infatuation, Severus.”
“Infatu— That’s preposterous! I don’t fancy Potter’s owl.”
“That’s true.”
Severus gapes, “You think I fancy Potter?”
“Well. You’re getting butterflies in your stomach whenever he owls you.”
“Butterflies. There’s no cure for that?”
“Love isn’t a disease, Severus.”
“That’s not— I want snakes instead of butterflies.”
“That’s alright,” Poppy chuckles, “Harry is a parselmouth. He’ll do better with snakes, anyway.”
