The previous Headmaster Albus Dumbledore was looking down at the current Headmaster Severus Snape.
There was no question in Dumbledore's mind that Severus was wise in the way of Academics. However he was a fool in the department of love. During the war Severus finally gave into his feelings for Hermione Granger and they began a relationship. However when the side of light won, he ended it abruptly without explanation devastating the young witch that he adored like a granddaughter. Hermione had returned to Hogwarts and took another year finishing her education so she could properly sit in her NEWTS.
The witch chose academics and received the post of deputy headmistress when Minerva McGonagall retired. Snape turned to him and said, "I will appreciate it if you do not meddle any further in my affairs"
"I don't know what you are talking about Severus" replied the portrait
"You know bloody well what I mean. You were the one responsible for Hermione Granger's appointment as my assistant." Replied the wizard
He rose and got his cloak and said "Goodnight Dumbledore" and left the portrait alone to ponder his plan to get the stubborn wizard and the wild-haired witch back together
