[ A Slytherin student would tell him they were Slytherin. No other student would want to speak to him - unless, of course, they're one of Dumbledore's shiny new wartime pawns.

Thank you. [She'll be searching Harry's pockets for them. He really doesn't have any privacy with her around.] I admit I'm curious about that certain subject.
[If it's important, she'll run into said subject again.]
Ship-wide phenomenon, specifically, its penchant for occasionally influencing the emotions of passengers. It also meddles with magical and preternatural ability, but that is another subject.
Which means having a wand is no guarantee of safety. [Luckily for her, she has had enough experience in the Muggle world to get by if her Magic is messed with.] As for influencing emotions...
I'm not aware of Magic that solely manipulates emotions beyond lesser Charms and Hexes. I suppose I have no foundation for understanding it until I experience it.
The Imperius Curse, when wielded properly, is capable. As well as many potions. But this is none of those things; indeed, you won't understand until you experience it. Unfortunately experiencing it is inevitable.
[ Occasionally he thinks of Bartemius, in Azkaban. And Bella, and Antonin, and the people who were far kinder to him than anyone on the 'good' side of things has ever been. ]
Come talk to me about grudges the next time Sirius Black breaks half the bones in my face. I've done nothing in the past months but help people, but it's not changed anything. It never will. I know that.

Speaking of Harry, Severus narrows his eyes at the year. ]
If you've designs on killing anyone I'll be highly annoyed, Miss Clearwater.

[Shiny new wartime pawns fits her. Only she's less shiny and more exhausted, heart-sore and ready to be done with the fighting.]
I know you're a Death Eater. But you've done a lot of good too. I can't say that makes me trust you, yet...
You had many chances to harm students. [One student in particular.] You never did.

2.) Obviously I'm not.
3.) Potter's fine. He also says you're 'fine', by the way, and that he'll ring you shortly, Miss Penelope Clearwater, 7th year.
[Private]
2.) Good.
3.) Well, then. I'm Hermione Granger. I am a Seventh Year. In Gryffindor. Harry is my best friend.

I assume I've been here before? Do you happen to know where I left my notes?
[Private]
[ He's been here before, too; after his death, if the shoddy records on the network are to be believed.
He declines to mention it. ]
With the boy, presumably. I only have copies pertaining to a certain subject.

Is it something akin to Legilimency?

[Private]
So be it. I'll wait.
[Private]
You do that.

[Private]
[Maybe?]
Sorry for bothering you.
[Private]
It's what I'm here for, apparently.
[Private]
[She recalls those beaver teeth and him saying he didn't see a difference. Ouch.]
I think it's a shame you feel that way. How far will we get if we stay in opposition of one another based on grudges held in our world?
[Private]
[ He must be younger if he's arguing like this. ]
