"What now, Lupin?"
"Well good afternoon to you too, Severus. Won't you be so kind as to invite me in?"
"...very well. I won't be able to attend you at the moment. I have your Wolfsbane brewing."
"That's fine, Severus."
The minutes passed by slowly, interrupted only by the simmer cauldron and the walking of Severus Snape adding ingredients here and there.
"Severus, is that my Werewolf: Human and Wolf that you have on your shelf?"
A pause.
"When did you get it?"
Another silence.
"Severus?"
The ladle was set aside.
"What was that, Lupin?"
"Nothing."
