Avery was a true Slytherin. He did everything he could to get what he wanted, and he didn't care who or what stood in his way. He believed all Slytherins should be the same.
That was why he couldn't stand how Severus followed that worthless mudblood, Evans, around like a crup. If he wanted her, only Merlin knew why, he should just take her.
He was doing the annual school supply shopping at Diagon Alley when he saw the unholy pair. It was definitely a disgusting sight to behold. He saw the two of them split up and an idea formed in his mind.
He needed to show Severus the error of his ways. Avery was sure he'd eventually be thanked. He waited until Severus went into the bookstore before following after him.
He approached Severus as the Potions books were browsed. His steps must have alerted Severus to his presence if the tensing of his shoulders were any indication.
He made sure his voice displayed the proper disbelief. "You have no idea what I have seen."
Severus silently waited.
"I saw Evans and the prick Potter talking." Severus's eyes narrowed. "Evan's cheeks were red as can be, and she was giggling. I always thought Evans hated Potter and his band of idiots, but she seemed to be enjoying the attention."
Severus raced away with purposeful strides, fists clenched at his sides.
Avery smirked. The seed had been planted.
