By seven o'clock, Angel walked into Severus' office and quietly sighed in relief, 'Yay, found it... and I didn't forget about it either... and I wasn't late.' she said to herself.

"Well, well... Burke." Severus smirked. "Sit." he said, gazing at the seat in front of his desk. 'Not late... what a surprise...'

Angel nodded and sat down. 'Smirking... probably not a good sign.' she thought as she gazed at Severus, trying her best to avoid too long of eye contact.

Severus continued to glare at her, "Interesting isn't it... how one can just... wander about the corridors, reading. A book... and they just happen..." he paused, "to run into a professor. Apparently... lost." his gaze remained the same; the only part of him which moved was his lips as he spoke, 'Gryffindors.' his mind spat, loathingly.

Angel nodded, "sorry sir. I wasn't planning on running into a professor..."

"Planning... on running... into a professor." Severus said slowly. "How extraordinary... of course, you don't want to be... caught." he paused and swallowed as his anger built up. "Sneaking about the corridors now... would you?" he finished his sentence and smirked, 'obviously... up to something.'

Angel shook her head, "Sir, I wasn't sneaking. I was just caught up in the book and I didn't realize where I was going." she said, her voice shaking slightly.

"And you didn't have any class to attend?" Severus said, his suspicious gaze piercing through her, "You said you couldn't. Remember. Where... the library was?"

Angel nodded, "I didn't have any classes and yes. I couldn't remember."

Severus gazed at her, his anger building up, mixed with amusement of her poor excuses, "You couldn't remember where the library is... yet you say you had no classes? How extraordinary..."

Angel sighed, "I know... confusing."

"I am quite amused, Miss Burke... to how this... is." said Severus leaning towards her slightly.

Angel frowned, "Um... I just... couldn't remember. Simple as that." she said, feeling rather frustrated with herself and Severus making things harder.

"You couldn't remember..." Severus said thoughtfully. "I don't know what you're playing at, Burke... but it sounds to me there is something... you're hiding!" he snapped, 'lying little brat!'

Angel looked at him confused, "hiding? I'm not hiding anything."

Severus' eyes darkened as he glared at her, he leant forward a little more and spat, "Don't. Lie... You have been caught before, sneaking around the corridors!"

Angel blinked, "I have?" she asked, still very confused.

Severus kept his glare, rage burnt inside him, "You can't fool... me. Burke!"

Angel shook her head, "I'm not fooling you professor."

"No. You're not! So don't even try!" Severus snapped.

At that moment, Dumbledore had just received word from Harry, knowing Angel was with Severus, he walked to Severus' office and stood outside, listening into their conversation, shaking his head. 'Harry was right... Severus... always jumps to conclusions...'

"It is very unwise to fool me! I trust you know that already." Severus continued to snap.
He looked at the door as he heard a cough. 'Sounds like Dumbledore... what does he want? He should know I am busy!'

Angel blinked, "I do?"
