Summary: Minerva likes to annoy Snape, because she's never been one for sappy pronouncements.
Disclaimer: Not my characters; I just like envisioning happy endings for them.
Warning(s): Wishful futurefic. How Snape was reinstated at Hogwarts is up to you.

As far as Minerva was concerned, the third-best thing about Lupin finally moving into the Slytherin head’s living quarters was that it doubled her opportunities to spoil Snape in the guise of bedeviling him: Posies of crimson-petalled flowers framed in lacy gold paper and ribbons. Brassy red tins with gold embossing containing Selkirk bannocks and other starchy goodies, and Lupin at hand to ensure that Snape himself actually ate some of them instead of sneaking them to the Squid. Tartan self-heating pads – tailored for forever-too-skinny full-grown shoulders and shins -- that materialized on their hearth both after full moons and whenever she overheard students groaning after a particularly brutal DADA session.
As a result, Snape scowled and snarled at her twice as often, but his lips also twitched when she too-vigorously denied any involvement with a gift broom presented to one of his Slytherin orphans (her attempts at misdirection suspiciously identical to those Lupin had offered earlier the same morning). For his part, Lupin remained too reserved to “kiss and tell” – at least, not openly, but his eyes gleamed with suppressed laughter at Minerva’s deliberately provocative queries.
Minerva hummed happily as she trimmed another basket in red and gold. . .
