"Hello, Severus." Charity smiled softly, resting her book on her legs as she glanced back at him, blue eyes noticing right away the tension in his body. She saw him looking for an escape route, and for a moment she found herself curious. Of all the staff members at the school, Severus was the most elusive. This presented a rare opportunity.
"I don't know what your plans are this late in the evening, but you're more than welcomed to stay and have a cup of tea." she said simply, no strings attached. "I made a bit too much for myself." Charity smiled softly, pushing her dark hair away from her face.
