Unfortunately, Severus had been far too busy lately to visit Miss Granger as much as he would have liked to. Getting his business up and running once again had taken a great deal of time and effort. Not to mention making his flat livable, as well. But soon, he would have help more help than he could possibly need, if the girl's marks were any indication. Well, in addition to what Lily had said regarding how clever she was. He really couldn't imagine her not being invaluable to him before long.
Granted, this was a dangerous undertaking, and they both knew that. They had no illusions on that score. Yet, Lupin had come through with Miss Granger's new identity -- or Miss Jones's, rather -- in what had to be record time. It would be worth it, he knew. Severus knew better than most the pride and satisfaction that came from using one's own two hands to support oneself. And so, when Miss Granger had expressed her desire to do just that, he knew he couldn't deny her the chance, whatever the risks.
Any concerns he may have had at the outset, however, disappeared entirely upon seeing the winning smile that practically split the girl's face in two. Once he'd Apparated to the safe house and knocked on the door, and she answered, he had to admit he barely recognized her for a second or two, and that was without having her glamor up. She looked so incredibly happy for once, whereas he'd only seen her look some combination of bored, hopeless, and dismal before. So he knew he was doing the right thing, danger or no.
"I take it that you are ready to go, Miss Granger?" he asked, smirking, quite unable to keep the amusement from sounding in his voice.
