Arianna Dumbledore is unsure. (sweetflower) wrote in fourteenshades, |
"I have seen my share of unpleasantness, though I am young, and I was the cause of all of it." She ducked her head bashfully as she continued. "I would not trust such information if it came from anyone other than you, sir." She glanced up at Mister Snape's face from under her lashes before returning her gaze to her hands. She was not sure how to express what she was feeling and thinking. She was fond of this man. She trusted him and looked to him for guidance, and it was not merely because he had been the first to show an interest in her. She did not have the words to express this, however, so Arianna patted Mister Snape's hand then looked out over the grounds.
She thought of his words for a moment, and nodded slowly. "Even when my mind was foggy, I knew that Albus was a very ambitious young man." She was curious about the man he became, the man Mister Snape knew. She was struck by the concept of loving and loathing. "I am not sure I have ever felt such strong emotions, on either side of the spectrum." She met his eyes. "I feel I have more control of my magic, and I will continue to grow in strength and skill as I practice what Miss Rowena and Helena have taught me. As that occurs, I believe I will be able to properly experience my emotions rather than run and hide from them." She frowned in thought. "Does that make sense?"
