[halfbloodpotion]

[Severus is currently standing inside the House of Personas. The one most often seen at this point is a snake, coiled on the floor in one of the mirrors. He glances at it with indifference each time he notices it. Other images include the top of a tower, where his mirror self can be seen starting from afar and approaching the real side, though it's

[Action] - Let's see if we can do this!

[tionysus]

[Myuria makes her way into the House of Personas. For several of her mirror images, she's accompanied by a tall man with a kind smile and long, purple hair. From a distance, she notices the red-headed girl in his mirror. The man himself looks familiar, but she's not sure where from. She may as well just say hello.]

Young love?

[Action] - whoo-hoo!

[halfbloodpotion]

[Oh snap. He twitches ever so slightly that it's almost imperceptible before glancing over to see... yet another person he's never seen. Luceti apparently houses more than he could ever have imagined.]

A student. [It's said in that 'she is a student; I am a teacher; you are asking too many questions' way.]

[Action] - I'mma keep my fingers crossed.

[tionysus]

[She holds her ground. Myuria's not about to be chased off by dismissive tones.]

Must be an important student, if she's showing up here.

[Action] - I'd apologize for Snape but you already know what he's like >>a

[halfbloodpotion]

She was very gifted in the subject I taught. [Which would be entirely true and plausible if not for the fact that the Snape in the mirror is a muuuuch younger version than the one currently standing in the middle of the room. We're just going to... walk off to another section now so we can look at the dead snake again. At least it looks like it could be sleeping but for the lack of breathing motions.]

[Action] - Myuria's a tough girl. She'll manage!

[tionysus]

Maybe so, but it doesn't look like she's in your classroom. [Myuria follows him, though she keeps her distance. In the mirrors following her is a red-haired man, who she first attacks, but in later mirrors seems to be getting along with rather amicably.]

[Action] - \o/ more worried about damage control tbh but hey XD she might see another side of Snape

[halfbloodpotion]

[She has a point. Nosy women. Keep this up, Myuria, and he's going to mention your mirror side.]

Your point?

[Action] - I'm hoping so, before it clicks who he is.

[tionysus]

I don't think she's one of your students. I think she's more of a classmate.

[Action] - He's not going to be pleased one way or another but y-yeah for everyone's sanity |D;b

[halfbloodpotion]

[And here he turns to study you. His own expression is carefully blank, for now.]

And why should it matter who she is or who she is not? She is simply a vision in this mirror. Nothing more.

[His voice is carefully controlled, which might just give away the fact that his indifferent facade is just that: a facade.]

[Action] - Is he ever pleased?

[tionysus]

[Myuria has her hands on her hips, standing casually.]

She's shown up in these mirrors, so she must be important. I'm just a curious romantic, really.

[Action] - ...ah good point... shhhhhhh

[halfbloodpotion]

[Have a raised eyebrow at that.]

...Take your romantic fantasies elsewhere. They have no place here.

[Yeah that indifferent and slightly defensive tone? Gone. There was hints of something quite like pain... humiliation... maybe even worry... fear if you listen closely.]

[Action] - :x

[tionysus]

[A slight hmph. She'll brush that one off.]

For a teacher, you aren't much of a conversationalist.

[Action] - :(

[halfbloodpotion]

I wasn't aware I needed to be one. I teach the art of brewing potions. I do not deal with speech therapy.

[He's got something of a dry wit thing going on if you really stop to think about it. He glances at the mirror again and moves off quickly as we are not going to dwell on the fact that that silver thing is following him now. Hard to tell what it is... just that it's large, silver, and following him.]

[Action] - D:

[tionysus]

It might help. Teaching that kind of thing could get dreadfully clinical - Cut up this ingredient just so, mix in that one after another or it won't come out right, mash this up in just the right way - I'm sure you have other things to talk about now and again.

[She's watching the silver thing occasionally, since she's trying to keep an eye on Snape too. In her mirror, Snape might recognize a certain blond prat she's being friendly with.]

[Action] - ;-;

[halfbloodpotion]

[And now he's staring at you like 'you dare tell me how to teach?']

Those who come for my class expect to be taught how to correctly and efficiently brew potions. Nothing more, unless they were in my House and therefore could appreciate the finer qualities of life.

It has worked for eighteen years. I do not see why I should change it now.

[Action] - D8

[tionysus]

[Touchy, touchy! She's going to brush that all off, since he does have a point.]

So did that girl appreciate the finer qualities of life?

[Action] - ._.

[halfbloodpotion]

[If it helps, it's mostly an act.... mostly... then again, she's touching on the bane of his existence and the worst memories he has.

[Your line of questioning is unnerving and he's going to give you another look.]

In a manner of speaking, though she was not of my House.

[He glances back at the mirror. The silver thing is still watching, though Myuria might be able to tell by now that there's definitely something... delicate about it, almost feminine.]
