At her words, his expression soured. Severus was dreading that question. Truly he was waiting for her to pick her own spot without discussion, hopefully in the chair or somewhere else, but his hand was forced. Despite his cruelty, he felt obliged to give her the bed. She was only a child. The crotchety lad could suffer elsewhere as he awaited another bed in the meantime. "For now you can sleep in the bed," he muttered lowly, knowing that his fate was now resigned to the leather chair. Maybe a potion could knock him out good enough to not notice the uncomfortableness.
The knock shifted his attention elsewhere. Cold eyes lurked back to the office door, unconsciously letting his magic crack the door open as he wandered over. Pale palms outreached towards the plate and took it swiftly from the elf. Instead of offering a thank you, Severus just nodded. "Off now." His hand rudely gestured the house elf away and through the door until they eventually left his sight. The door closed once again.
In silence they would eat dinner. Some words would be exchanged as they sat around his desk, but the two would mostly be kept to their own thoughts. They had a lot to think about.
As dawn came, Severus woke up unphased. Before he happened to fall asleep for the night previously, the professor had ended up taking a shot of Sleeping Draught to temporarily pass out (he was wise not to choose the Draught of Living Death, even though he was tempted). While he told himself the potion was for the purpose of alleviating his uncomfortable pain, unconsciously his motives relied on the fact that he would of instead of stayed awake in deep thought. The forces of the world could take a hold of him later, but not now.
Rising from the chair without a sound, hoping not to disturb Ellie, the professor wandered over towards his desk and sat down in the chair. In the faded light radiating off the lamp, he maneuvered his lanky fingers down to the bottom drawer and pull out some papers. Lesson plans, it seemed. Others mixed it were essays and exams, but he threw those aside for now. For awhile he skimmed through his plans. He occasionally casted a glance at Ellie as she was asleep.
