HE RELEASES A SMALL HUFF - looking at Bella as if she’d just grown three heads. It seemes as though lately, he doesn’t know her at all. As if everything he says or does ends up with them fighting,, && vice versa. This was their third shouting match this week. When had it come to this? His gaze is locked on the grandfather clock behind her -- he can never lquite ook her in the eyes when they fight -- especially not when her words cut like daggers. More often than not, his tongue is worse than hers. Today, would be no exception. How much longer could they go on like this?

SCARS﹕ sender  broaches  the  topic  of  receiver’s  scar/s .

IT WAS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SOMEONE WOULD BRING IT UP. While he'd done an admirable job of covering his troath up in public during the first few months of his stay in Greendale,, it is impractical to continue doing so now that temperatures are rising. It's not the injury itself that bothers him. When he wakes up at night in cold sweats, it's not the snake that haunted his dreams. It was it's master -- && for that reason, the scar cutting across his troath was a blemish he loathed almost as much as the mark on his arm. Thank Merlin that could remain hidden.

❝ A giant snake -- ❞

❝ -- a maledictus,, to be precise -- it's venom made it rather difficult to seal the wound,, hence the scarring. ❞ he explains, hoping that he wouldn't have to get into the why of it all. Usually, however, medical details made people uncomfortable enough not to enquire further.

“ you deserve to know everything about me. all of it. so… here. listen to all of it. it’ll tell you everything you need to know. ”

SHE HAD ALWAYS BEEN A BIT OF A MYSTERY. There were whispers as to why she arrived at Hogwarts during their third year && about what had happened to her in the muggle word, but Severus never payed much attention to them. People gossipped constantly && why there was often a grain of truth to it, it was often no more than that. A grain. While curiosity had burned inside of him often, he’d never asked her. It was clear that she hadn’t had an easy life. That something had happened to her that had left SCARS.

PRIDE. It had always been the boy’s undoing, as it had been his father’s (&& his own). It’s clear that Draco is about to    C R A C K    under the pressure he’s under. That he’d been pushed well beyond the breaking point. He’d seen && done things no child his age should have been confronted with. That Severus can sympathise with.

“I’m not strong or brave. I just survive because there’s not really any other choice.”

THAT WAS MORE THAN MOST OF THEM COULD SAY. To have survived with some sliver of dignity was perhaps what he respected Narcissa for the most. She certainly bore her fate with more grace than her husband. He worried about Lucius sometimes. He imagined she did as well.

❝Don’t we all?❞ he raises an eyebrow, -- attempting to keep the conversation somewhat lighthearted.

HER CONFESSION MAKES HIM REFLECT ON HIS OWN BEHAVIOUR TOWARDS HER. He knew what she’d been through before Dumbledore took her under his wing, and still he’d pushed her away && left her alone, when he knew that Carrie didn’t have many people at Hogwarts who she genuinely got along with -- much like himself. What was supposed to be an explanation for her stubborn insistance he talk to her, made him feel like a rather shit friend, but it did the trick of stopping his protests.

❝– but that doesn’t mean we can’t just...do something.❞  How eloquently phrased.

"Severus, Severus please, please help me." Head tilted back into the chair and breathing hard he couldn't find any sort of calm or sense of peace, chest tightening and painfully uncomfortable, like he couldn't get enough breath in. (Blows u a kiss)

SEVERUS IS FAMILIAR WITH THE SIGNS OF A PANIC ATTACK.  How often had he not found himself in similar circumstances ?-- only usually he woke up that way -- out of breath, sweating, && nauseous -- unable to CALM DOWN. He knows how PAINFUL they can be,, how TERRIFYING -- not that he would ever let on about that. They fill him with SHAME -- it is one of the reasons he REFUSES to sleep anywhere but in the privacy of his own chambers.  But perhaps it’s the familiarity with the occurence that causes him to act rapidly, without asking questions. 

He sinks down on his knees in front of the chair Remus is seated in && takes hold of his hands, pulling slightly to try && FORCE him to look at him. 

             ❝ Remus -- Remus look at me ❞                        ❝ BREATHE ❞

He is usually no good at comforting people -- or at putting them at ease. His empathy translated in nothing but silent understanding,, but he does know how to keep his calm --&& in this particular situation, that might just come in handy.

❛ it would have been better to die. ❜

SUCH PESSIMISM DIDN’T QUITE BEFIT LUCIUS -- but AZKABAN had changed him. BROKEN him. Severus can,, at the very least,, sympathize with that line of thought. It was one that had floated through his own mind on more than one occasion. 

          ❝ You and I can agree that there are fates WORSE than DEATH ❞

                      ❝ -- still, you have people who NEED you -- your wife --&& Draco. ❞ he reasons, a slightly CONCERNED expression on his face as he sits down next to Lucius. He doesn’t look too good -- even now that most of the PHYSICAL DAMAGE has healed.
