Dahlia and Severus were in his office fighting with each other, the trigger to this event happened this morning. Severus had arrived at the breakfast feast later than the rest of the staff with a limp. Dahlia decided to keep her mouth shut as to not cause a scene in front of the entire school, but when she heard Harry and his friends talking about him trying to steal the philosopher's stone, she had to confront him.
She waited until he was done with his final class before approaching him. Once the final student left the room she walked in pretty angry at him, "How could you?!" Was the first thing she shouted at him. He looked up at her confused, "Honestly, what's wrong now?" He asked not surprised at the fact she's upset about something. Dahlia slammed her hands on a table in frustration, "You know what! You're trying to steal the philosophers stone!"
Severus rolled his eyes annoyed that she would think he would participate in a crime so serious, "Let me guess Potter told you that." He stated in his usual calm demeanor. She nodded not saying anything for the moment. He looked up at her from the papers he was grading, "I'll have you know, I wouldn't participate in such a foolish activity." Severus gently place his quill down to give her his attention knowing she wouldn't be satisfied any other way.
Dahlia stormed up to his desk, "Don't lie to me, Severus! I know you were scratched by the Cerberus guarding the stone! You probably let the troll in too!" Severus had enough of these accusations being thrown his way, "Oh, suddenly the word of a child is more important than mine! Have you even thought to ask me?!" She took a breath before saying, "I know you're working for Voldemort! I know you're a death eater!" She normally would never say the dark wizards' name, but she was so enraged that she didn't bother dancing around it.
Severus stood up and glared at the woman he once called his friend, "I was a death eater, yes, but I've seen the errors of my ways, I now work for Dumbledore, and for your information I was helping protect the philosophers stone! It's not my fault that wretched dog attacked me on the way out!" Dahlia scoffed at his comment, "Yeah, like I could believe that! How could you betray the school like this! You're betraying Dumbledore, and me! I thought we were friends!"
He glared at her, at this rate the whole castle was going to hear them, but he wasn't going to stand down not like he did in the past, "So did I but apparently, I can't be trusted! Apparently, I'm working for the dark lord! Apparently, I'm trying to steal the philosophers stone! Maybe we shouldn't be friends anymore!" Dahlia felt her eyes start to water, "Maybe we shouldn't." She stormed off, tears running down her face.
