"You guys are going to make a good team."

While making tea, Severus finally had the guts to step inside. Still holding her gaze at the teapot she heard whispers between them.

"Is there something wrong?" Her head turned giving them tea.

Something seemed off between the two. She felt nervous as the two older men starred without a word. Aurora couldn't tell yet decided to turn my head to the side to give more of a conclusion.

"No dear sorry, Severus wanted to ask you something," Albus stated glancing at Severus. "Didn't you Severus?"

He didn't wish to be here. Which was reasonable... she had beenwas rude to him, yet he started being an arse first. Maybe A quick browse through his mind couldn't hurt.

Talk, Albus is waiting for you.

Severus froze. He did not expect that to come from her. Coughing a few times, he acknowledged by the reactions from Albus needed to be discussed privately. 

Get out of my mind!

Then speak.

Severus hesitated then uttered, "Ms.Pierce, I need an assistant. I would appreciate it very much if you could approve." She laughed. No, almost snorted so harshly. He was forced into his explanation.

"Albus, did you make him say this?" Aurora whispered, wiggling her pointer finger.

Albus spit out his drink laughing. "Aurora, be nice my dear. No, I did not make him say such, though I did make him arrive here with me for adequate information. I was the one who suggested that you assist. Severus believes he does not need help. However, students are beginning to fail in potions more often than before. On the other hand, we need someone who can help students before and after class. A few times in class will be needed but that all depends on Severus. I have great faith that you would be the perfect candidate, therefore, I'll give you two weeks to decide. How does that sound Aurora?"

She was astonished. To hear that coming from Albus warmed her heart. Albus was like a father to her. Both became very close during her Hogwarts years. She would always talk with him in his office, help him with anything, and even eat with the man.

Albus clearly would come back to ask her if she wanted to work at Hogwarts. Aurora will do this for him, the staff, and the students. Not because Severus asked nicely.

She took the band out of her hair and smiled.

"I would love to Albus

Severus Snape did not stop staring at Aurora Pierce. Why couldn't he stop? There was no doubt she was a beautiful woman yet he felt like there's something else. Something odd. Of course, he wasn't going to show any intention towards her. Why should he? She doesn't earn the respect. She is going to be his assistant and nothing more. Severus wouldn't dare share anything else with that attitude of hers. He start to fidget with my fingers to get the thoughts out his head.
