“Not wearing your glasses??” Hannah asked anxiously, because she noticed his mannerisms towards her, the way he started to really look at her – how he probably noticed the way she was crying. It was an odd sense of TRANSPARENCY she started to feel, that she had felt ever since her mother had died. That people were looking through her, staring only at the grief on display. Poor girl, her mother murdered. Poor, poor, Hannah. It was why she further tried to hide how she was feeling then, she didn’t need to be pitied, she NEEDED to just have a conversation. “It’s Albus Dumbledore,” she wiped her eyes f u r i o u s l y after she answered him, looking away as she did so, as if it would hide the action. Make it less obvious. “I just can’t believe they actually gave Snape the position he’s wanted. It’s been a month of hell.”
“Didn’t exactly grab them. Or put in my contacts.” He more commonly wore those than his glasses anyway. “Wasn’t exactly made aware I was going for a trip.” One where all of his belongings were more than an owl away. He tried to afford her what little privacy he could in the small space between them, turning his eyes toward the man she had indicated to while she swiped away the tears still pooling in her eyes. “Albus Dumbledore, huh?” he repeated, incredulously, his eyebrows furrowing as he turned to her once more. “Is he that bad? Snape, I mean?” James had heard mixed reviews. Considering his father had considered him honorable enough to give his brother his name, he had never known what to make of the man and had never thought much of it. Hadn’t thought he needed to.
