"Is that all you can do?" Snape spoke in a mocking tone as I watched the girl lying on the ground, panting and sweaty.
At the same time, she looked at him with anger. She couldn't even form a word at first, still trying to recover after an intense training session of 20 minutes without stopping.

"You bastard!" she muttered, trying to get up, gripping her wand tightly in her hand.

"Is this how you treat other girls when you're training them?" Bellatrix didn't hold back her anger, speaking furiously before pointing her wand at him.

She cast a spell, attempting to knock him down, though she struggled slightly due to her current state. Severus looked at the energy coming toward him without any expression and simply raised his own wand when the spell got close enough. Despite reacting like lightning, he deflected the attack as if wielding a sword, blocking the strike.

The spell was redirected and exploded against one of the mannequins Snape had forced Bellatrix to buy, saying they were necessary for her training.

She tried to cast another spell, but a hand stopped her. Snape appeared in front of her using his teleportation, gripping the hand that held the wand.

"You're too emotional, has anyone ever told you that?" Snape said as she gritted her teeth, trying to break free.

She attempted to use her other hand to push him away, but his hand easily caught her delicate wrist, preventing any movement. Bellatrix struggled against his strength, but Severus simply pulled both of her hands toward himself, forcing them together as he kept her restrained.

Bellatrix was surprised, having to step closer to Snape due to the pull. Now she found herself uncomfortably close to him, struggling to break free from his grip, but nothing worked.

Snape observed the situation with an amused look.

"Yes, you're right. I never trained Clarisse or Pandora this way," he said, smiling.

"After all, I know their weaknesses. I know they can never reach the full potential of what I can teach. But you... You are different. That's why I expected you to learn even more than they did." He sighed and continued, now with a disappointed look.

"But in the end, all I see is a girl complaining... What a disappointment."

Bellatrix was speechless for a moment, unsure of how to respond. Her face became slightly flushed.

"I'm going to say something..." Snape continued before she could speak, stepping even closer and looking down at her.

"You certainly have beautiful breasts. And with that sweaty outfit, revealing yourself without any bra, I can see them perfectly. I don't blame myself for noticing. But if you're trying to seduce me... I thought you'd do better than just looking like a helpless girl." He spoke provocatively, making Bellatrix turn even redder from embarrassment at hearing those words so close.

"Who's trying to seduce you?!" she retorted, trying to force her arms free once more.

Snape, however, kept his grip firm until he took her wand in one of his hands.

"Well, I'll be holding on to this for a few seconds. We're done." He said, finally letting her go.

"Just try to improve everything we've trained so far. We're just getting started, and we're still in the early weeks. I'm sure you'll become very strong with what we'll learn here."
