Re: Severus + Al + Sneaky James
"Oh, good. I enjoyed it as well. I've been all right, I suppose and Lily is quite well, thank you for asking. She's around here somewhere."
He glanced toward Al for a moment and smiled some. "I'm really happy he's found someone who cares for him as much as you do," he said softly. "Then I know someone I can trust is keeping watch on him when I can't."
He looked at Severus for a moment before fidgeting nervously with his shirt sleeve. "I did want to talk to you about something, if you wouldn't mind. No pranks. Promise."
