"Proffeseur Snape." Fleur nodded, suddenly all professional. There were very few men in the world who were not effected by veelas and Fleur hated that Snape was one of them. It was a rare time where she could use none of her veela advantages and it always put her on edge. "What can I do for you?"
Fleur had to fight not to come to the defense of her lover, but unfortunately she knew that she couldn't without causing suspicion. "It is a trivial one, I can assure you. All taken care of." she spoke without looking back at her lover.
If not coming to the defense of Lavender when Snape casually commented on her behavior, it was much harder not to snap to the defense of her sister, an action that she has done many times before.
"I understand, proffesseur." Fleur nodded, biting her tongue. "I will tell Gabrielle to behave 'erself. But problems like zhat always 'ave two people involved. Do not place sole blame on my sister when zhe students of your 'ouse are at fault as well." she said, holding her ground and looking Snape in the eyes.
