"The Elton John concert is tonight."

Charity moaned into her pillow.

Severus sat up. "There must be a way to get a ticket."

"You've better odds of flying to Neptune."

Severus leaned back against the headboard. He traced his lip with the tip of one finger, frowning.

"Well," he presently mused. "Ticket or no, I'm going to that concert."

"Severus."

"A simple Disillusionment should suffice."

"Severus, please."

"I might even be able to watch from the front row, if I'm careful."

"If your conscience were that malleable, you'd have left Hogwarts long ago."

"I'll leave an offering on the stage."

"Oh, here." Charity pushed herself up, grabbed her purse, and threw an envelope at Severus. "I was going to surprise you, but I can't bear any more of your whining."

"I do not--" His voice caught as he pulled out two tickets to the Elton John concert.

"I'm afraid nineteenth row was the best I could do."

"Nineteenth row, floor seating." Severus looked over into Charity's eyes. "How did you do it?"

Charity raised an eyebrow. "Muggle Studies is my area of expertise."

"One of them." He leaned towards her, smirking. "Now, you were saying something about flying to Neptune?"
