Title: Things We Cannot Change

"So, what you are saying is, you saw the demon when you examined Crooks?" she asked bluntly.

"No, I felt it," he replied with equal directness to camouflage his omissions.

"Am I supposed to accept that as proof?" Hermione asked with frustration, trying to control her temper.

Snape stoked the cat languidly. "Yes, we discussed this already." Then he added with exasperation, "Unfortunately, you will realize the proof on your own. You can take my word for it or not. The outcome will not change."

Hermione's heart broke from the sense of defeat, and she turned from the Potion master.
