(Thanks, this one should be interesting to do as well)
Snape listened to her words though he did not show it, he could not hit the smirk that was on the inside the want to laugh for that matter for he indeed could say she was wrong but, it was not in his nature to do so & why, say anything would be more fun to watch theme when there true came out.
“I have not jugged them as quick as you think, at least not all of them. Not of my own acquaintance, I have spoken to such acquaintances but, I do not make habit of it. I am not one to speak of the weather or some other event in the Wizarding world, like it is some gossip that, you would find everyone wishing to speared” Also in a way she was an acquaintance depending how you looked at it.
Snape watched her he showed no emotion as he spoke but, he meant what he said “Yes, I do Riley but, to walk in my shoes you would have to understand many things that I am not about to speak of but, it is because of these events that I know you would see things much the same as me perhaps you might be lucky you would have a different out come but, it is not likely we will ever know. But, you are right in one area some events you can choose how it will affect you but, most happen & you do not get that change because it makes such an impacted you have no choose but, to change. At times one might be able to mean these events, how ever it is never as good as if it never happened”

"To wish for the past to not of occurred is wasteful it is more useful to change the present and future. I see that you do not wish to partake in the usual cordial greetings of society. So my dear Professor if you want people to understand you better, to walk in your shoes why don't you open up more? Though my guess is you don't wish to reveal your past."
Riley looked at Snape. "Answer me this do you believe yourself to be without fault? To believe that your experiences are so much superior or righteous than others? Can one laugh at you Professor, can one dare smile if they know what you have experienced or is your experience too dreadful for words?"

Snape listened to her words though he said nothing to her first words, feeling to do so could start something that would gain too much attaching. “You are right I am not one that wishes to reveal my past but, there are those that know it & those that I trust enough I would be more open to speak of it but, there are not many that will learn of it threw me. At least that is how it stands now, we all have fault & I am sure there are others that have gone threw something similar to what I have” In fact he knew it he just would not speak of it “People can do what ever they want & at times I am sure they would find something to laugh about & at other times, would see it as no joking matter”

"I see you have a way of not answering my questions, Professor. Yes, I am sure what you speak of is true but you never spoke once of your own faults. If you will not speak on the matter, merely stating that everyone possess faults then answer me this."
Riley paused a smile on her face. "Poetry or dancing?"

Snape heard her words but, he said nothing with her last words he looked at her before he spoke “And what is the poetry or dancing, regarding? Is this my choose of faults?” How could he answer when he was unsure what it was retarding.

Riley laughed, "No, a fault in poetry or dancing! I guess I should have elaborated on the topic more, but it is always a point of interest my family and I joke about. More of a story that happened in the past that follows me around still."
Riley gently laid her hand on his arm, leaning in. "No, poetry or dancing refers to affection. Do you believe poetry or dancing to blosom affection towards someone else, and if neither then what is your take on it? Surely you must have an opinion on something so simple as this!" Riley smiled looking him straight in the eyes.
No, it wasn't a simple question. It was a question that held great meaning to her, her childish heart that hopped for so much. The question was she believed to be of importance because she wanted to know more of his heart that he had been keeping so well hidden.

Snape heard Riley words & one thing he could say is she had guest in more then one way, few would dare to touch him & with close by it could turn bad though he would speak to her if he was asked on it. Though with her touch his eyes flickered to her hand before shifting to look at her, she was lucky indeed not that the touch was in a jest or harm but, he knew that it was not something he was use to.
Snape face did not show any sign of what he felt & his voice did the same yet, for the sake of all this it was easier to answer the question she gave then answer it more. “That is not so simple to answer as you may think. Ether one can be used as a sign of affection, though in different ways poetry is more of what one could do why alone with the person or they could do it before a large crowd, though it is left to the voice of the user to blossom the affection. As for dancing it is something that is done more in front of a crowed & it is also touch based & closeness that would be used to show the affection”
Snape looked at her again before he spoke on “It would also depend on the person, on what way is better. For in the end, if one is trying to blossom affection then, they will find what the other person likes more or at the time would enjoy more”
Though with a moment more Snape spoke on “Though if I must choose it would most likely be poetry, though as I said it would all come down to who the person was” Perhaps with the question answered she would allow, this questioning to end but, some how in his mind he did not see that being the case. He saw it only leading to more, questions then answers.

“Poetry can only make the bonds of love stronger between two people who are in love. But upon first meeting and blossoming affection poetry drives away love. A good sonnet can be received in the wrong confidence of the person reading it and their affections completely turned away from their true purpose. One’s heart only understands the true meaning of poetry if their heart is aligned with the poets.”
Riley smiled as she removed her hand from his arm as if she forgot she had put it there. “Dancing is more suitable for blossoming affection. First off I would like to say I am talking about late 18th century dancing, a waltz if you will. A dance can be so beautifully conducted so as to make it seem you are the only two people in the room, you breathe as one and move so wonderfully together, barely touching. Your hearts are connected in such a way upon this first interaction of physical touch or you part as good friends or what you were before.”
Riley leaned away from Snape, her eyes glimmering as she looked at him, “I wonder Professor have you partaken in any of these endeavors?

Snape was right it had lead to more questions & with it he heard the words she spoke he could see her point though, he was sure it would still very on there person, after all not all danced or liked it, just as not everyone was into poetry & reading. Though with her question he looked at her before folding his arms over his chest as he spoke "Why the sudden intrested if I have or have not?" Of course at one point he had done both, though that was indeed years ago almost another time so it felt.

"Your still an arrogant, conceited man and your selfish disdain for others runis you completly. I wasn't taking interest in whether you have pursued making your affections known, I could care less. I am merely putting you under a microscope Professor, seeing if you have anything in common with a person like me. From the moment I met you I have dispised you, mainly for your lack of emotions and apparent hate for everyone. Though you only partialy redeem yourself in answering a quesion."
Riley smiled, "Though unlike some I have no reason to continue my apparent childhood hatred of you. For you are the first person who has ever been able to take the cuts drawn by words and deliver them back with ease."

Snape listened to her words with her first ones he spoke “So I have been told” Great now he was sure she would be asking more questions, that he was not likely to answer & he doubted they had any thing in common, after all he was old enough to be her father or close enough/
Besides he had told him self he would decide his feelings for Reniara but, he had to figure out where Riley was really going with all of this was it just talk or was she looking for something that could be more. He did not know so he would have to wait, something he was not found of greatly.
“The first & how many have you exchanged words with in such a way?” Now he was left to try to figure out where this was all going & it was not easy to say the least.

Riley smiled, "With anyone who insults me or someone I care about."
She had brought down many high standing people who were self centered and deemed her or her family lesser or inadequate with her words. She enjoyed making quick statements that would cut deeper than any sword, and no one in all her life of as yet amused her so much as Snape did. He truly was experienced in the art as she was, but she wondered if he did it to everyone he met.

Of course Reniara he would have to ask for sure how old Reniara was but, it was odd for him in a way that all of a sudden there where females showing some form of interested in him, something that was rare indeed.
Snape heard her first words & it made him raise his eyebrow at her but, he said nothing for the moment as he listened to her words. “I see so you must get into quite a few & are you going to tell me now that you keep a record of all these so call encounters?” He knew that he was on her list because he insulted her but, he was not sure if she meant her last words or if they where just words.

Riley laughed, "A record? I'm not a bookkeepr. I don't hold grudges especially after having a conversation with the individual. Besides, I find most of the people who insult me are quite skilled in doing word duels, though you are the best so far."
Riley shifted in her seat. "No, instead I write about my interesting conversations with those that interest me, put them into my characters. It's an outlet I guess, much like potions may be your outlet, though I could be wrong." Riley tapped her fingers against her notebook that lay on the table.

Snape listened to her words though he smirked in his normally way, with her last part of her words as he went on “I see & dare I ask if I should in quire if that is a complement I hear? From one that does not look up to me?”
Snape did not miss her words of writing “I see the reason for all the parchment, though it could be use for any number of things. I suppose in its own way it is an outlet” Though to be doing as long as he had, there had to be something in it he enjoyed. “Your characters, then I take it your write stories?” If that was the case he would be willing to bet it was fantasy since at the moment he could not think much more that it could be.
