Severus Snape was one to spend hours in either the library studying intensely or the potions classroom brewing new concoctions. Time slipped by him as his mind was completely consumed in the making of unique spells or adjusting potions in his Advanced Potions-Making textbook, all the while telling not a soul about what he was up to. There had been times where he missed dinner in order to finish one of his personal projects, not distracted one bit by his rumbling stomach demanding to be fed, and there were also moments where he was forced out of the library when all he needed was more hour for research. There were rare occasions where the few friends that he had allowed into his life were able to knock some sense into him and take care of himself, but he figured they knew by now what a waste of time it would be to try.Â
So when he felt a presence stopping in front of the table at which he was studying, he almost outwardly groaned. He was in no mood for any sort of chit-chat as he was trying to complete his Charms essay on non-verbal spells before beginning on another assignment, both of which were not due for another couple of days. Being a procrastinator was not a characteristic of his, and he was know amongst his professors to turn his work early.
âI could have sworn,â he spoke, not entirely caring if he was being rude or not and it showed in his voice and demeanor by not looking up at the person, âthat there was an entirely open table along the way. Why donât you try occupying that one.â It was a question, he wanted to be left alone to his studies. Knowing his luck, it was someone he regarded as a friend, but he couldnât be bothered to tear his eyes away from his parchment to look.Â
     Ignatius had walked into the library, to work on a charms essay when he spotted severus. he wasnât the warmest person, he wasnât the most popular bloke around but he was a good student and while ignatius wasnât a bad student, he didnât mind a bit of help... or well, cheating. he loved that. he sat down in front of severus and smirked at his fellow studentâs comments. âcalm down, severus.â he said as he looked at the dark haired young man. âi just thought that we could... work together. you know, get this essay done quicker.â he told severus, knowing that severus wouldnât agree to that but maybe he could just sit with him, copy a few sentences.
