"Kaida! I thought you had already gone to bed…"
"No, Professor, I was just coming back from my meeting with Remus…"
"Remus?" A scowl marks his face.
"Is something wrong, Professor?"
"No, no, nothings wrong, Kaida. I only wanted to…to…uh…ask you about the Wolfsbane Potion…I'm a tad confused as to what needs to be done…"
"Surely you jest, Professor? A man of your knowledge of potions, should not find it in the least bit confusing…"

"Oh! Of course, Kaida… How about tomorrow night? I will prepare your potion and you can answer my questions over dinner, as it were…"
"That will be fine, Severus…" My mind is numb from tiredness, I can scarcely remember where I am. I must get to my coffin before the sun rises…so weary…so very weary…
"Tomorrow night, then! I look forward to seeing you, Kaida!" His exuberance and energy makes me all the more tired…I can barely remember what he said…I'm sure I'll remember tomorrow night…
