SEVERUS SNAPE

Where di, [William starts to ask, to the effect of: Where did you get that idea. How could you get the idea. Who would think that was the idea! But maybe he doesn't want to know, and he certainly doesn't want to seem like he's picking a fight, so,] No. Fuck no. I mean, if there's a wizardy way to observe temporal idiosyncrasies with that, um, this time-turner, then maybe it can be used on the Tranquility as well.

I mean unless the solution was to re-birth oneself, [he adds, his eyes darting off-screen again, in the direction that the scrolls were last seen. Almost distracted.] That sounds like rather a lot of work.

[An hour goes by-- maybe longer. Severus is, after all, a busy person whose business William tends not to presume he knows.]

Well if that was it then--

[Was it? Would Severus actually respond (non-respond) similarly if William was actually entirely off-base? William's best guess is that he wouldn't, but it's really only that: a guess.] I am sorry. I appreciate your work and your effort and your confidence. If it weren't that or you're not cross, [which is also a possibility, William imagines, glancing back over the series of texts received and imagining the extraordinarily busy wizard rolling his eyes at his neurotic imagination in between saving lives.] I'll keep trying to figure it out.

Cheers, professor. [He flips a wave at the camera and then disconnects.]
