A/N: Ok, that’s what Severus is like when he’s had a few drinks and in an enjoyable company. FF100 challenge and the word is - 39. Maku (Which is odd, since it’s in Finnish. Taste - in English.)
And if there are any errors, please give me a hint.

Severus Snape and Minerva McGonagall.
- Which do you prefer? Cats or Dogs?
Severus smiled a little and took a sip of his apple juice with Russian vodka cocktail and wasn’t sure whether he was supposed to answer or not. They had had a few drinks and Severus himself felt a little dizzy but Minerva’s eyes were sharp and looking straight into his. He shook his head.
- I am not sure, actually. They’re both … nice.
Minerva snorted.
- Come on. You can’t like both. You’re a big man, choose!
- Okay, okay. I like … I prefer dogs.
- I knew it. McGonagall smiled and pointed at him with her middle finger. - And you are one too.
Severus laughed shortly.
- Me? A dog? She nodded and Severus challenged her. - Which one? Give me a breed. McGonagall knew nothing about dogs, she was a cat person herself.
She gave him a quick look and snapped:
- A cocktail. There is more to you than meets the eye.
Severus looked at her and thought that she was one of the smartest people he had ever met and knew almost everything about him. It felt good to have someone like that in your corner.
- Amen to that, he said.
