Chapter 14: Snarkiness Again

James was sitting at one of the tables in the public library, ignoring how he felt about having been unable to visit in the past few weeks. However, Ophelia was having a meeting with her new girlfriend in their flat. That meeting was something that James didn't want to hear or see at any point in time. This was because he knew that he would end up subjected to their intense sappiness if he had stayed in his own home. Sappiness wasn't something that James liked to endure, no matter if it was towards him or someone else. Plus, he had to get his grading done. He was quite behind with his work, a fact that wasn't helped by the large the stack of essays sitting next to him. He groaned as he looked at how many more he had left to do. These essays happened to belong to his biology students. His other students had book work for the next couple weeks, but that didn't stop his biology students from having their mini-research papers. James' only problem happened to be that one of his students was incapable of spelling. It was the one pet peeve that he had picked up over the years.

He rubbed his eyes tiredly. "This person decides to spend their two weeks to study the cardiovascular system, but they can't even bother to spell check. Why they decided to not wait until we reached the human body is beyond me. It would have saved me from having to read this drivel. It's any wonder that the other science teachers don't scream." He marked the paper quite heavily with red marks, scowling the entire time. James happened to dislike being dragged down by lazy students, as it only added to his already high levels of frustration. He muttered so incoherently that even his own ears couldn't catch the words. He sighed after a moment, realizing just how bad his day had become. Grading wasn't how he wanted to spend his day, especially when it was the first day of the weekend.

A voice echoed from behind him, but it was not directed towards him at all. James stiffened at the sound of the voice, having recognized it the instant that the person had spoken. It was one of those moments where he was cursing his bad luck. He turned and saw Severus Snape, watching as the man realized that James was there moments later. Severus scowled and came over to the table. James turned away in hope that the man would take the hint and leave him alone. Of course, he doubted that it would ever happen. It turned out that he was right. "Harry Potter is sitting in a library of his own free will, now I'm quite shocked. You're one of the laziest people I've ever known. To see you here, and with that work, is quite interesting." James rolled his eyes at that statement. The words made him to feel as if Severus would never get a clue. Yet, he knew that it was basically impossible for the man to ever see him as anything other than the student he had once taught.

James set his pen down and turned to face his hated professor. "Hello to you as well, Professor Snape. I don't have any time to spend talking; I'm in the middle of grading my students' essays. I'm sure you remember what that's like. It is not fun, but it must be done. The sooner I finish, the better it is for me." He turned away once again. The other people in the library watched the duo, as it was turning into a form of entertainment for them. Of course, there was also the Librarian watching the situation with much scrutiny. Her reasons were quite different than the other patrons, but only because she had a soft spot when it came to James. She waited to see what James would do. He ended up glancing her way, giving her a nearly imperceptible shake of the head. She noticed the movement and knew what he meant. She returned the nod and continued to watch as he went back to looking at Severus.

Severus walked around the table to force James to look at him. He didn't like being ignored, a fact that the younger man was using to his advantage. That bit of information was one of the things that James had picked up over his school years. Severus' eyes narrowed into an even more intimidating glare. "You haven't grown up at all. I can see that quite clearly. I'm amazed they trust you with students. I know that it takes maturity to teach. I don't think you have that." James kept his comments to himself, seeing as he was beginning to believe that it was something Severus couldn't understand. Besides, he thought that the man was acting as if he hadn't grown up in his forty-eight years of life. It was a sad thought to James, for he knew that there could have been no animosity if Severus had grown up. Severus scowled and walked away when James continued to not respond.

James smiled to himself. "Way too easy, but he always did hate being ignored. That's something that hasn't changed in all this time. I doubt that it ever will, though it would be nice to see him…Advance." James chuckled and glanced at the Librarian. She nodded at him, which caused him to return her nod. He took a moment to gather himself and went back to grading, all because he desperately needed to get it done. He was too use to the work, as it never ended. It was something that he had to focus on, and that was what he was going to do.

A/N: well, it's done, and Severus being a pain again. Later.
