Stepping into the room, Severus took a moment to look around -- these rooms were small and often times shared -- which seemed to be the case for Neville as well, even if whoever it was he lived with wasn't around, there was a clear divide down the middle of the room. It felt juvenile, but he did it too simply because it was necessary (although he had a feeling Dieter would happily share most things).
"This is a decent project," Severus ventured, nearly a compliment. It was, on occasion, difficult to remember how to be anything but bitter about his station and situation. "Considering. I suspect the kitchen will be crowded with the bored just now anyway." Severus was rather good at doing potions in secret, small places. A holdover from his youth. "How's your transfiguration?"
