The Quest

Summary:

Part of my 3 sentence Tumblr fics. Prompt: Merlin is confronted by Severus Snape, who is raving about wizards. When Merlin tries to shush him, he hands him a letter and then disappears.

Notes:

locknessmonster292 asked:Snape, of all people, turns up in the middle of the night at Merlin's door chattering on about wizards. While the young warlock fights the man to keep his voice down about magic, the flustered potions master hands him a letter. ~Your Lovely Otter

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Work Text:

Merlin had battled Dragons, Griffons, Bandits, and Sorceresses, often
times right under Arthur’s nose, and had made it out alive, and he
would be damned if he let this greasy haired, hooked nosed man be the
reason he was executed.

"Would you please keep it down" he whispered as Snape once again
started his spiel about how the wizarding world needed his help,
“please, I’m trying not to get us killed", and at that Snape rolled his
eyes, shoved a piece of parchment into his hands, and disappeared.

Merlin stared at the parchment for a while before he began to read it,
“To Merlin, the wizarding world is in great danger and your presence at
Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is required immediately -
Albus Dumbledore", and as Merlin read the last word on the page, the
parchment glowed blue and he felt an uncomfortable jerk behind his
navel…

Notes:

Poor Merlin always ends up in these fixes.
