"Yes your right, it is something one cannot do wrong. Though I feel like there are a lot things one can't do right or wrong." Reniara smiled at Snape.
"The storytelling usually turns into a game. The kids enjoy fantasy the most and its fun to watch them act out what they think is a world that doesn't exist. I haven't told them any stories dealing with the wizarding world, because I want to see what they will discover themselves. Having them make up their own worlds helps them explore the world around them and themselves."

Snape listee to her words & nodded “I am sure that telling them, these stories also help them find ways amuse them self’s & also I am sure will help them later should they take up writing or something that would need them to imagine” After all the imagination was one of the few things that everyone had & there was no true limit to what it could come up with, if it was given the chance any way.

"Yes. Having an immagination is a wonderful thing that each person in the world posses to some degree. And you are right in saying that it is fun for them." Reniara smiled, allowing the book to close silently. She had a feeling that they wouldn't be reading any time soon.

Snape listened to her words “So what else do you do with the children other then tell them stories, pick them up off the street & do what you can to find them parents?” It would be interesting to hear & only Snape was interested to hear her words, true he might not be much of a child person, he knew that he would do what he could to help them. Other wise he would not be a teacher, he would have found something with out children.

"Well it's really what the lady at the orphanage wants me to do. I help them learn to read and write, but there are also people there that educate the children as their jobs. So, I mainly listen. I listen to thier fears, dreams, hopes...everything. I'm their shoulder to cry on or the arms to welcome them when they come back from outside. I'm just there....a friend to them....someone who can understand them and listen to them for hours without viewing them as less important because they are children." Reniara smiled.
"Though there are a lot of people all over the world who do the same thing....so its nothing really special. I mean you teach teenagers, that's a job that only really talented, amazing people can do and do well." Reniara looked at Snape, hopping that her compliment didn't offend him in any way.

Snape listened to her words “If it did not know better, I would think you where trying to flatter me with your words. But, there is little talent behind what I do, I mealy scare them there first time meeting me & I really do not have to worry about them doing something foolish latter. But, I suppose I will take your complement, after all I do not hear them often”

"Thank you for recieving it." Reniara smiled at Snape. She could of said more about his personality that she found to be wonderful, but she took the sign that too many compliments might do more harm than good.

Snape heard her words “Tell me do you visited just the one orphaned or there giving the same kind of help to the children there?” He was trying to keep the questions he asked to what would be any normal thing, that some one could ask a person, that would not be asking too much of them. But, he was sure if something was said or a line was crossed she would let him know or simply not answer the question.

"I just go to that one oprhanage. The help there is pretty good, with my savings I was able to help get them a staff and some volunteers but that's about it. I might go to others but there are still a lot of kids in need of a place to go in the area I visit in, so it might be a while yet before I branch out."
Reniara was happy that they could talk so easily amongst themselves. But then again the questions he was asking of her weren't hard to answer. She liked being able to talk to someone about the muggle world without feeling like she was breaking an unwritten law.

Snape heard her words “Perhaps you might look for some one that would be willing to finance more money for the orphanage, I am sure there are people that would be willing to help” He was sure there was many muggles, where good at helping others that needed it but, he was not sure if she had ever though about asking others to help but, the most he could do was ask & find out the answer before going from there. After all he might be able to help but, he wanted to insure that if he did it was not to be so easily noted that it was him doing it, after all it would be odd for money to show up after this talk if she was not hoping for help form others.

"I have asked a couple of muggles to help, and many have donated to the orphanage which is wonderful. Though, even though it would be great if people from the wizarding community helped, I don't ask mainly because I want to make sure that the orphanage will be safe. It's hard to trust people these days with the strong dislike of muggles, and asking someone to donate money to a muggle instiute is like handing the children over to them on a silver platter. I mean, you are the only person I have talked about the orphanage to."
Reniara thought about the orphanage needing more money, mainly because of the large growing number of new kids entering every day, but she didn't expect people to donate to the orphange. Everyone had troubles of their own. She was thankful to people even just to acknowledge the orphanage's existence.

“That is good to hear & I understand what you mean, after all most of the Wizarding World does good just to excepted those that are half bloods, let alone those that are of muggle born destined but, it would be nice if they did not see that some of are best have been those that have been muggle born”
“Though I understand you & your trust in people, I am sure there are those that would help if you asked them. You might speak with the Head Mistress, she might be able to help or tell you of those that are likely to & I do not see her recommending some one if they would do something to harm the children. Another person you might ask is Professor Carillon-Dra at the school” He knew that Rigoletto had money but, then considering how long that man had lived he was not surprised but, he was one of the few that he knew was not one that was a pure bloods rule ego.
“The other one that might help is the Weaslys” As much as he was not found of much of the family, they also where some one that where likely to help a good muggle cause”

(OC: love your post, especially the mention of how old Rigoletto is  ) "Thank you, I will talk to them if need be. Though, it will most likely only be as a last resort, seeing as how the process takes a while even within the muggle world, and it will take even longer if the money is to come from people within the wizarding world. But thank you again for your recommendations." Reniara looked at Snape wondering what he would ask her next. She didn't know what to ask him personally, seeing how she didn't want to upset him in any way by asking the wrong kind of question. Besides, she wouldn't know where to start. |

(It felt like it was a good idea & the comment on Rigoletto only appeared to be something Snape would see, after all how many openings when it comes to making a gab at some one does Snape not jump in on? Lol. But, I am glade you like it, I was trying to make it a bit longer of a post)
“I mealy gave you an idea, what you do with it is your choose” Snape was silent before he spoke “I was thinking since we keep running into each other perhaps we should find something more of a reason then, we just run into each other. Since all that know me, know I am not one to just allow anyone to come into my home & I am sure you are not much different”

"You mean we should find a reason that others will take to explain why we are together, and why I am in your house all the time? That is a really good idea, I was trying to think of a good reason earlier. We can really play on any idea. My old work...as an assasin isn't really known in the wizarding world as it is in the muggle world. But many know that I work for the Minister of Magic and do most of his jobs for him, so we can always draw a connection there. Though I am not sure on what people would find as a good reason."
Reniara bit her lip as she thought of a reason she could give to people why she and Snape were always together. It would be impossible to please everyone and she knew that most people would still judge them no matter what they said or did.
