The idea was silly to him in retrospect, but it wasn't unlikely that he had gained a possible acquaintance out of this. The thought was soothing.

"Spare no detail," he echoed back. Dark eyes stared at her confidently, hoping to gain some information that would lead him further.

Perhaps this time it escaped his notice.

At the sound of the headmaster's voice, his head whipped around. Severus offered what he considered an 'unnoticeable' glare in an attempt to hide his frustration. Most of the time he could get away with hiding his personal conundrums, but Dumbledore knew him too well and probably could notice Snape's current distrust. Getting too close to the child though was worth his head, especially with the Dark Lord breathing down the back of his neck... He wanted to help, but as always, isolation seemed to be a better option. All those years lost weren't worth it.
