Snape- It was unexpected to hear the girl ask about Lily. Well, not really. She did live without her for most of her life. He had to pull out from his thoughts to hear the girl speak again. "What about my dad?" She asked. Her eyes had suppressed glee, and she opened her locket to reveal, on the other side, a picture of that obnoxious, arrogant, piece of shit, prick, asshole, Potter. He sneered, the memories of his childhood not forgotten. He didn't notice Dumbledore sadly shake his head, and retreat back into the car. "Unfortunately, I did know that bastard." He spat out, still sneering. Without even looking at Harrietta, he knew that it was the wrong thing to say, and that he should have kept his mouth shut. But the words were already out of his mouth, just like the words he spoke to Lily. He sighed, and silently prepared for the worst.
Harry- Harry had decided to press her luck. The man hadn't yelled at her for asking questions, nor beat her. He actually smiled, and answered her. "How about my dad?" She asked. The man spat out, as if he was horrified to even talk about her dad. "Unfortunately, I did know that bastard. She saw the scorn in his eyes, and the hatred. While not directed at her, it scared her that he hated someone with as much distaste as her 'family' had for her, but also made her feel a bit sorry of him. She wondered what he did to make the man feel that way. She bowed down, quickly. "I'm sorry for whatever my father had done to you. I apologize on his behalf, for any harm, or bullying he did to you." She spoke quickly, as she had been raised up to be very polite, and respectful. She stood there, head down, waiting for a reaction. She pushed the urge to look up, and swallowed the dread, and anxiety which had flooded her brain, down. She felt someone's fingers go underneath her chin, and even though she flinched a little, unused to being touched in a matter that wasn't threatening, she stayed still. She suddenly found herself looking into a pair of black eyes.
