She grimaced. “You wiggled your eyebrows at me during my presentation. I almost lost my place.”

“Yes, I am. Thank you so much for this.”
“Hermione…”
“Now you’re my mentor,” she mused, picking up the letter.
He smiled wryly. “They call me Guru Snape.”
She didn’t smile back. “Trainer. Advisor. Guide.”
His head dropped forwards. “Your supervisor. Lab meetings, progress reports, thesis submitted on time.”
“A position of authority,” she said quietly.
The discussion was over.
