Albus nodded. "We'll start, and I will tell you as much as I can, but there's a reason why I never told you or anyone else everything. Knowledge is a great thing, but when it's acquired through time. Too much too soon can be dangerous, not here," he said, touching Severus' temple, and then moved his hand to cover Severus' heart. "But here. It's too easy to lose sight of what's important."
He perched on Severus' desk, smiling. "I trust you, Severus, but you'll be overworked all of a sudden. I want you to see me as often as possible. You can use legilimency. I'm sorry but we don't have time to waste and you can see everything this way."
He sighed. "We won't have time to do things how we had planned. James won't have forty years, but months and I'm afraid that it's hardly time for us to have him ready. You need to continue working with him, his trust in you is more important than every." He looked around the office, smiling. "You'll have to really take care of this school for me now. Soon it will be yours in a way it still isn't. You need to move past your animosities and your anger. I know you're much younger than I was, but you can do it. I have faith in you."
