"How very interesting." Came a voice from the bookshelves.

Lorelei turned back around in her seat, another wry smile in place. "Lurking Severus?" Lorelei asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Quite by accident, I asure you." Severus returned. "Although I must admit I find it curious to find one in such company."

"Are you referring to his blood, his house, or his condition?" Lorelei asked.

"I would think any of the three would be enough."

A smile crossed the girl's lips. "What do you want Severus?" It was a genuine question, not a statement of annoyance. "After all, I owe you for your information."

"I told you previously. I do not desire anything from you."

"Really Severus? I can't tempt you with...anything?" Lorelei asked, rising from her seat and closing the distance between her and the boy. She tilted her head so she was forced to look up through her lashes, putting a slight pout on her lips. Lore had learned at a young age she was pretty, and in most cases, that could be used to her advantage.

Severus Snape however, did not yield as easily to her charms. "You shouldn't make such veiled offers." Severus countered. "Wouldn't your wolf get jealous?"

"Remus Lupin is not mine." Lorelei replied. "We have no claim on one another."

"Was that not a 'date' I heard aranged?" he asked casually.

"Not really." Lorelei replied. "Merely a thank you." Lorelei tossed her head, flipping her hair over her shoulder. "Which I still owe you one."

"You owe me nothing." the boy replied, moving from the bookshelves to sit at the table.

Lorelei followed. "On the contrary Severus." she returned, leaning down, arms resting on the table. "You gave me such delightful information. I do need to give you something in return."

Severus narrowed his eyes. "Most people would of taken what I told you as a warning to stay away."

"I'm not most people."

"Indeed. Looking to get bit are you?" Severus asked, raising an eyebrow, then looking at her intently. "You have already been." the boys eyes widened slightly.

"Does that make a diffrence?" Lorelei asked. "Am I not still who I have always been?"

Snape reached out, hesitently and grabbed the chain from around her neck, pulling the amulet from it's hiding place. "You plan to do this for him?"

"How do you suddenly know so much?" Lorelei regaurded the boy with great interest.

"We all have our secrets, don't we?" Severus replied, a slight sneer in place.
