Preferably, something that omitted the words 'greaseball' and 'snivelly.' "I hardly think it matters." Snape smirked, relishing the perceptible pause that had preceded Parvati's response. He'd been off-footed by her bluntness, and it was of some comfort to know that he'd been able to return the favor. "Titles are only as useful as the powers they impart, and since I can't hold the threat of detention over you any longer, my title is fairly useless." He let the statement stand without further comment. It was ambiguous enough to be taken as a forfeit of power, or possibly as a subtle reminder of all the times Snape had abused that power in the past. He'd deliberately handed Parvati the reins of the conversation-He was curious to see whether she'd challenge him or let his remark slide.
