Re: Alastor & Severus
The action of the battle might have been over, but the aftermath saw Snape still in the ice-cold mindset that came from burying every scrap of humanity and happiness behind impenetrable Occlumency.
"If the tunnel's clear it should already be closed," he snapped. Alastor's comment about Jamie was met with an impatient headshake. "Of course it's all going to be up to the two of us. James was never going to be worth a doxy's fart as a military leader, even if she hadn't been killed."
"Now, what are the completed headcounts and which Captains still haven't finished theirs?" he asked.
