Severus fought the tears trying to fall from his eyes as he looked at his lost friend in front of him.
He knew...

Severus stopped in his angry pacing to face the pleading Blue haired woman.
"No"
The innocent smile she has plastered on her face fell, crestfallen.
"Please Severus!? I won't ever ask you for anything else ever again!" She tried again.
Severus scoffed at the notion "Yes you will."
Her face scrunched as she rethought the statement "Ok I will, but please, please, pleeeeeaaasssseee do this for me?"
"Masondrit, I said no! I will not be a puppet, for a man like Gildroy Lockhart."
"Damn, You used my whole name... that's terrifying..."
Severus could see her thinking her words over, he knew she wasn't giving up until he agreed, but he'd put it off for as long as he could.
"Look if you don't do it, than I have to! Between the two of us I'm more likely to kill him! Do you want me to go to Azkaban?!"
"Dementors would never go hungry with you..." he muttered to himself.
Mason reached onto his desk and threw the first thing she touched.

He looked around his classroom before glancing back at her.

She sighed before climbing off her perch on his desk
"Fine, then can we talked about what happened?"
Severus narrowed his eyes at her "Nothing happened May."
"I found Mrs. Norris like that because I was hearing a voice in the walls. That's not normal!" She Went to his supply closet to grab a bucket and rag

Severus neared her to try and console the heartbroken look on her face. "You've been in this school before, if it was you don't you think it would have happened then as well?"
She thought his logic over for a minute "Yeah I guess, this didn't happen then right?"
He looked on her sympathetically "no" he responded. "Besides, it's probably that Potter boy, his father was trouble too."
She squinted her eyes at him trying to tie the name to a memory. Coming up empty she looked at him "should I know who that is?"
He sighed at her. "Doesn't really matter, anymore."
