[A flash of blonde, and there's Rose on the screen, looking concerned. She's still new, she doesn't really understand the entirety of this world and it's dreams, how they can be broadcast like that, so if she's a touch overly concerned, it can probably be chalked up to that.]

Oh my god, is everything alright?

[initforthedoe]

Obviously not.

[This is an older version of that boy. He does not look happy.]

[dimensionbamf]

[Ah. Clearly she's a bit late. She still doesn't look pleased about it, not in the slightest, judging from the way she purses her lips a bit.]

I'm sorry. Someone mentioned that happened, the... dreams. I didn't know...

D'you want to talk about it?

[initforthedoe]

[The line he's created by pressing his lips together grows thinner still.]

I believe this is a private matter.

[He knows exactly where he is and Apparates up to the room, sitting down with his friend.]

[ Call it dumb luck or just a pure accident, but Harry's seen the dream. What he doesn't see is the fact that his own dreamberry has turned on to show Harry watching the dream and looking sad and a bit nostalgic. The situation's not quite the same, but the feelings are. He remembers his own childhood pains, and the fact that Snape and he shared something like that leaves an odd feeling in Harry's stomach. ]

[He sees you there, boy. You really need to learn to not turn the Dreamberry recording function on.]

Potter.

[sonuvasnitch]

[ It has a mind of his own he can't help it though he does look surprised to see that Snape would have responded. ]

...

Sorry [ Is all he manages to say. Wouldn't be the first time he's seen Snape's personal childhood. ]

For what, pray tell? Last I recalled you were not a part of my childhood.

[maraudingprongs]

[Well, that's. That's different. It's the way James imagines Lily's muggle family treating Harry, or the way Sirius' Pureblooded one treated him. How society would gladly treat Remus-- like a freak.

So, while Snape isn't usually a target for sympathy from him...]

Well. You did find your niche.

[It's the nicest thing he can get his tongue to say to Snape. Potions was difficult subject... and he'd at least excelled in it. Not as good as some folks, mind~ but not bad at all. He'd made it to Hogwarts and done something with merit-able ability.]

[initforthedoe]

[Oh. That's someone he never wanted to learn about his past. His eyes narrow a bit but he bites his tongue to keep from actually snapping at Potter.]

In numerous ways.

[There. That doesn't sound like the nasty things he wanted to say before.]

[maraudingprongs]

[Yes... in numerous ways. Or, you know. Only that one way, before he went totally rotten, based on what he's heard about events in his own timeline.

But, James won't say that either.]

So to speak.

[The best he can do without outright saying 'potions is an accomplishment and a niche, whereas world's record for least liked Hogwarts student isn't quite'.]

[initforthedoe]

Potions Master, a professor at Hogwarts, and a Headmaster. Yes, I found my...

[There's a pause there as if he dares him to speak against it.]

...niche.

[wolfbaned]

[Oh dear, Remus would actually have preferred to not see such an intimate detail from this particular man's past. It wasn't any of his business at all and it was obvious that Severus would not be pleased to have shared this dream with the werewolf and his friends of all people.]

I take it I'm too late to stop James and Sirius from seeing this, aren't I?

[initforthedoe]

[Of all four of the group, he can at least admit to himself that he disliked this one the least.]

You are.

[wolfbaned]

[Remus takes that to heart.]

I'm sorry for whatever they had to say then. [As much as they may dislike each other, Remus is in his debt, after all.]

[initforthedoe]

[Snape slowly lifts a brow at that.]

You are?
