[Did you hear that, Lily? That was the sound of Severus choking on his drink. No... that little picture in the corner has to be lying. Why in Merlin's name would she- No, they couldn't have. She's dead, she's gone, she's not coming back... no... no no...]
[She totally made the post with her name to see if she can draw out Sev too. Without making it obvious to Hermione. She'll be studying your picture now to see if she thinks you might be older Sev. =D]
[Does sound concerned though.] Are you okay? Sounds like you're choking.
[That voice... oh Merlin it can't be but he'd never mistake it... never ever. He replies... though he's trying to cover up that voice, even if it sounds a bit different from the voice she last heard.]

[Hear that? That was the sound of Snape shutting the damn book and running outside and down the stairs. Dear Merlin he has to get away. Feel free to chase him.]
[He thinks he's homefree for a while and then he comes flying down the last flight, hits the landing, and -
....Merlin... Here, have a bit of a panicked look. It's not that he's upset to see her, but dear everything she's the last person he expected here.
And seeing her again brings up a load of awkward questions, memories, thoughts, etc that he really... doesn't want to get into. So instead of actually saying anything, he's going to attempt to flee back up the stairs.]
[He's at the second floor by the time she yells his name and he wheels around to face her, expression difficult to read, but he's uh... hanging onto the railing right now. White-knuckled grip. Oh yeah.
Still gonna play it off like it's nothing, though. Occlumency, go!]

[Oh shit, he stopped. She has to stumble on the stairs a few times to make sure she didn't run right into him and has to grab the banister to gain her balance.]
...
[Oh, how to start this.]
You're a DEATH EATER?!
[Okay, maybe not the best, but she got something out.]
[this is way too awkward and he tries to retreat to the next set of stairs as she stumbles. Part of him wants to reach out to catch her and that's the part that makes the odd flinching movement.]
... [Speaking of awkward. Severus can't really answer that yet, but his left arm twitches, barely visible, as he slowly tries to back towards the stairs. He didn't ask for this, damn Malnosso. How does he know she's not just some strange illusion?]
... [Damn it all by Merlin's hat, don't choke!]
Who has told you something like that? [Closed expression, we have it!]
...[Oh well, there goes any hope of having any kind of civil interaction with her- oh right, he didn't have any to begin with.
Haha we're just going to... Merlin, those eyes.]
Undoubtedly, they have told you a great deal of my deeds and warned you to stay away from me.
[Y'know, this is a very strange feeling he's got here, but if he can make her not want anything to do with him, that'll keep her safe when he 'joins' the Dark Lord again here... right? Uuughh, where's Dumbledore when you need him? He'd understand this nonsense.]
Re: [action]7thyearlilyOctober 11 2009, 19:37:29 UTC
She wouldn't give me any details. She said you were a Death Eater. And you ran to them after some battle. And you were a spy for Dumbledore, but she wasn't sure if that was true or not. Beyond that....nothing really.
[Yeah, she looks really confused and conflicted. Because she really didn't get to hear any details so she's clinging quite desperately to the fact you might not be evil.]
[Oh, Lily, if only you knew. He wishes he could tell you, wishes he knew you'd believe him... He looks away there, on the pretense of taking another step backwards.
The fact that Granger at least didn't tell Lily what he'd done a year ago is surprising, but maybe there's hope still.]
...I was, but that's all I can tell you. [He's just not sure he wants to risk placing you in danger again, not with Tom here.]

But no, Hermione had spoken of Snape like she knew him in the present. This was him.
And she wasn't going to let him get away that easily.]
SEVERUS!
[And now she's running up the stairs.]

Hermione Granger. Harry also said you were one of the ones to watch out for.
