Infatution || Severus Snape and Aurora Pierce

A Game Of Shoes And Catch

Remus sighed awkwardly acknowledging his friend's state. His head shifted facing Severus who'd been staring at the door Aurora exited in. He recognized the wrinkles cast on Severus' forehead. Maybe a sign of regret? Clearing his throat he leaned into Aurora's seat. "It is only her first day here and you already make her uncomfortable? I recommend you stay at each other's good side for the children. She works amazing with them and could help you greatly." Remus remembered Aurora tutoring younger students who struggled.

Severus clenched his goblin staring in front. "Do not give me advice. You are still new here don't forget that." He said ordered.

"If you lay a finger on-

"Severus a word," Minerva muttered quickly behind him. Her tolerance for him was on thin ice.

His goblin shut noisily on the table. "Yes, Minerva."

The sound of the chair scraping against the floor could be heard clearly as the room suddenly went silent at his sudden action. Swiftly he follows Minerva to the empty halls earning whispers from his staff. Embarrassing.
At last, she turned around her arms folded impatiently.

"Care to explain?"

"Explain what exactly?"

"Why Aurora walked out with an angry expression?" Minerva mumbled bitterly.

He went silent. The only element that could be made clear was the birds chirping and wind casting thunderously on the cold trees.

"I'm waiting...."

"She offered me a book but I refused." His glance flickered towards the views outdoors. "She asked again at breakfast and I told her I do not care."

Her hands made a sign to continue. "And how was your tone being using?!"

Severus folding his arms. "Not pleasant."

"What was the book called?"

"Dragon Eye Potions Limited Addition."

Her foot tapped loudly with disappointment. "You foolish man. She was giving something valuable and you return a bad attitude. The girl has been nothing but patient! It is barely her first day!"

"I realize that Minerva however I believe she is leading me on to take advantage. Hold something against me! I know her tricks and it will not work with me."

"Are you hearing yourself correctly? You sound utterly daft. I hope to Merlin you apologized the first time you both went at it."

Lupin carried himself to locate the women who took her to leave. He didn't know where she slept therefore settled to the library. That had to be the only place brought to mind. Her small nose scrunched up on the book whist her hair spattered along with the table. Except for the time she had short hair.
