The clock had never moved so slowly for Severus Snape. He sat in the chair at his desk, his entire body stiff with something between anger and dread. He had figured that the Dark Lord was an accomplished Legilimens when he'd learned about the magic, but he hadn't realised how accomplished, or how frequently he was likely to invade the mind of his followers. Yet, there was no other answer for it that Severus could tell. The only way the Dark Lord could know about Agnes, and about his meeting with Pettigrew, was through Legilimency. Well, it wasn't the only way - someone could have noticed the meeting and have told - but the likelihood of that occurring, particularly when Severus was typically on his guard watching whom was around when he was meeting with people, seemed somewhat smaller. Legilimency was obvious, and it infuriated Severus that he had allowed it to happen. Somehow all of his practise keeping his mind clear and calm had been utterly fruitless, which meant that he needed to actually have someone test him. He needed someone to practise with, to teach him, because this
could not happen.
