To say Severus Snape was surprised by the OWL from Sirius, asking to meet no less, was an understatement. While they were on...better...terms than previously, the Slytherin expected to see the other in passing or on Order missions more than anything else. Promptly, Snape responded to the unexpected letter, telling the Gryffindor to meet him in The Forbidden Forest, giving less of an opportunity to be spotted by others.
Not that Severus was overly concerned about students, but more so the staff - and it was safer than Wizarding London where Rita Skeeter’s ‘little bugs’ wouldn’t be able to spot them so easily. After all, to most who remembered, the Slytherin and Gryffindor weren’t exactly mates. And while Snape still spoke with Dumbledore, he’d rather not talk with the Headmaster about this new development until Snape had more information under his belt.
As such, the potions assistant made his way to the forest after classes, keeping vials and herb shears on hand in case Slughorn‘s students happened to catch him along the edge or near the greenhouses. Waiting for Sirius, Snape took a breath, finally letting himself ponder what this could be concerning.
