"You are immune." When Snape merely raised an eyebrow Fleur's glare got colder, which he had assumed was physically impossible prior to the drop. "How is this so?" She reminded him of a small lapdog, furious at being overlooked. "No one has given me this 'pfft!'" she waved a dismissive hand. "Tell me what magic is this."

For a moment Snape pondered telling her the truth, that Veela heritage only did so much; merely enhanced existing emotion not created it whole cloth. Instead he simply sniffed derisively, muttering something sarcastic about the power of buttons.

Who knew she'd believe him?

For one dreadful moment Severus thought Albus had finally gone mad. "You--"

"Think he is doing quite well." Dumbledore nodded, whilst helping himself to another lemondrop. "Don't you?"

"Letting students loose in the halls with a basilisk is not anywhere on my list of 'quite well'." Snape growled. "Potter's too important to risk like this."

"Filch is doing exactly what was asked of him Severus." Albus sighed. "You shouldn't underestimate him. Filch or Potter." He paused, "or Mrs Norris, of course."

Snape looked unimpressed.

"Appearances aren't everything." Dumbledore gave him a bemused smile then waved him towards the door.

They passed, years later, on a rain-swept evening in the ruins of Diagon Alley. She would have missed him, save for the sharp gasp and startled look. And with that, everything she'd fought so hard to forget came crashing down, drowning her in shattered fragments of memory. It took her an hour, this time, to claw her way back to sanity, away from hallucinations of a war they hadn't won and a life she'd never lead.

And in her dreams he held her, talked her through the nightmares.

She curled fetal in the pooling rain, alone, crying for lost dreams.
