Severus was barely making sense of all that was swirling around in his head. The appearance of Lily. His attempt to be a helpful anonymous 'friend' of sorts completely blown apart before he could even get her through half a day in the city. An entire level of emotions, and actions, tied to her inevitable arrival. He knew she would show. He had been commanded to prove his point, his allegiance. He would be far more surprised if she didn't show

She hadn't really noticed him when she walked in since she was trying to get use to the shop but the moment she heard steps her eyes were straight on him. There was no way she could mistake the older man before her from the young one she had once been friends with since he really still had the same features. There was no doubt in her mind that he was Severus and she didn't know if that was a good or bad thing. She took one step forward before stopping again.

"It wouldn't surprise me if you did."

It also didn't wash over her that he was teaching in Hogwarts so either his story about turning away from Voldemort was true or Voldemort had won. She couldn't stay still, too on edge from everything that had happened just before she woke up here and she kept anxiously brushing her red curls from her face.

"Do what you needed me here for."

He kept still, letting her look as long as she wanted. It was one of the many things he knew would have to happen. After all he did die at thirty eight, come to the city then. She looked mostly as he saw her last. Briefly he felt the cool air that had hung heavy in Godric's Hollow that night, threatening to choke him but he quickly brushed that aside

The click of the lock had her slightly alarmed and not even his reasoning calmed her. Why would it when he claimed aggressive creatures could arrive at whim? She didn't follow him straight away but when she did it wasn't with ease. She was putting herself in a lot of danger and although that could be fun on occasion it wasn't when she was withought magic. She knew what he was doing and watched him quietly.

"What do these memories include?" she asked when there was an opportune moment. "And how do I know they are not forged and changed to suit what you'd have me think?"

It was entirely possible for him to lie to her like tha it wouldn't be the cruelest of things he had done to her though most of that cruelty was delivered in her own emotions whilst dealing with what he had called her.
