      “ out of my most loyal FRIENDS, severus snape harbors an unfortunate desire for the boy’s mother. if only i could rid him of the burden – ” he says mildly, turning sharply on one heel to face her. on the surface, perhaps he seems genuinely concerned for his so-called ‘friend’ though both witch & wizard rarely feel such sentiment. 

       “ and the child’s ruined NOTHING, witch, ” he retorts. dark eyes narrow in preemptive disapproval.
