Yeah....Parents were NOT happy about that one. I managed to pass though. I just had to type the spelling words twenty times each for five days in a row.
Ellie raised her head slowly, staring at Severus through dark eyes. She sensed more than she saw, but she knew he was angered or annoyed at the very least. She frowned; he always seemed like that. Hurt. Yes, that was the word for it. Just like Nan was. Just like she was. Perhaps against her better judgement, or perhaps out of pure instinct, she rested lightly against the dark shadow of a man. It was the only form of comfort she knew of. It was the only kind she was willing to offer, for now.
If Dumbledore sensed any of the emotions swirling beneath Snape's skin, he ignored them. Snape, though lost he was, could handle himself to a certain degree. The old man was not yet aware if the same could be said for the child. However, her slight movement caught his attention. She had done something no child had ever done. Composing his own emotions, he focused on the matter at hand. "I meant all of us, Severus,"he informed him, leawving no room for argument. Severus, rather he wanted it or even acknowledge he needed it, had to know the truth of his sister and the girl. Dumbledore felt it would bring the man some closure, as well as himself. He was not faultless in the happenings which had befallen both Severus and Sage.
"How are you expecting to find Nan?"Ellie suddenly asked. Dumbledore eyed her, sensing a challenge from the child. "You know your way home, I am sure."He offered his own challenge. Ellie narrowed her eyes. "It's like I said before, Nan would be furious if I showed anyone where we lived. I never said I would show you anything." Dumbledore held his tongue, wondering if perhaps Severus himself would speak up. He needed to.
