Severus shut the Pensieve away in its cupboard, trying - but mostly failing - not to dwell on how very poorly his last attempt to teach Occlumency had gone. It hadn't been his fault, after all; and this time he could rely on his students to be at least moderately more respectful, and less given to poking around in his personal effects. Extracting memories probably wasn't a necessary precaution in this case, but it was easily taken, and there was no call for recklessness.
The only unpleasantness he expected, really, was the sort that always came with teaching. The inevitable frustration of having to explain things two and three times, at best, was tiresome in the extreme. At least this was a subject in which he was deeply invested, and on which he could hold forth for half an hour at a time without much effort, and at least he would only have to cope with two young people (not children, he reminded himself), and at least they were infinitely more tolerable than his last subject had been. It wouldn't be so bad. So he dove into some leftover paperwork and waited for their arrival, trying to be grateful for the opportunity to play his part in this way. At the end of the day, there were worse thing to do than teach rudimentary Occlumency skills to the Dark Lord's younger followers.
