"Thank your for escorting Mister Potter." Dumbledore says to Snape. He was waiting for us in front of a large stone gargoyle at the end of a long corridor. Snape nods and whisks himself away, cloak billowing behind him. Arse. "Lemon drop." The gargoyle turns sideways to reveal a set of stairs. "Did you have enough to eat? I had asked Professor Snape to wait." I snort.

"As if he'd listen." I say as we arrive in his office. I blot out the amazing sight to continue my speech. "Do you know what he did? He degraded me in the middle of the Great Hall. Who even does that? It would be bad enough him doing it in a lesson, which he did, or in private, but in front of the whole school? Despicable and unprofessional." I lower myself into the armchair in front of the large desk as Dumbledore sits opposite whilst I ignore everything the office and chair are telling me. "I understand that he hated James, I've seen and felt every single spell he threw through his wand. I get it, he was a bully, but that doesn't excuse him transferring those grudges onto me at all. What have I done to him? I've been polite, I've paid attention in the one lesson he's taught me for. I was even actively trying to not tread on his toes because of the animosity. I can pull the memories from my head for you. I've seen Lily do it a hundred times." I recline into the soft chair, sighing. "I just … don't understand."

"Lemon drop?" He offers after taking one himself. I smile and accept the lemony sweet.

"Thank you." We sit in silence, enjoying the fizz. "Your office is really cool by the way. The rug, 213 year old Egyptian wool. Brought in by Armando Dippet. Very nice."

"I don't think anybody has ever called my office 'cool'. Thank you." He smiles, looking over his many trinkets. "Rest assured that I will be having a serious discussion with Severus in regards to his treatment of you." He says seriously. "Your speech has raised a fair few questions."
