Er, I don't normally send notes like this. Are things... going well?
There's something I wanted to ask you about, if you don't mind.

SEVERUS,
I'll admit, I'm surprised to hear from you.. but uh. Yea? Things are fine. Why do you ask?
A few questions? ... What's going on, Severus. You've been acting off lately. Was it something I did?

Lita:
Huh? I don't really know what you mean.
Anyway... I've been hearing some rather strange rumors lately, and I'm curious to why they've started up. Have you been hearing anything... about you and I?

SEVERUS,
Unlike the majority of the school, Severus, I tend to stay away from the rumor whirlwind. I hear people whispering, and I notice people stop talking as soon as you, I, or the both of us together enter a room.
But I haven't heard much for myself.
Why, what have you heard?

Lita:
Oh.
I suppose they could be purposefully saying it just because I happen to be around. I hadn't given it a lot of thought. That must be what it is- just a prank.
I know there's no truth to rumors that you actually like me as more than a friend. ... right?

SEVERUS,
Sorry it took me so long to reply. I was, uh... distracted. Very distracted. Homework, y'know.
So... that's what you've been hearing? That I like you as more than just a friend? What exactly has been said?
I suppose if you want to get technical, yes. I do like you as more than a friend. More like. A best friend. Like, y'know.. a really good best friend?

Lita:
Right.
Right.
I knew that.
I figured that's what you probably meant, but people were making it seem like... oh, I suppose it doesn't matter. There was something about a journal.
But I really get it: I do. And I want you to know that I don't care if people say silly thing, but if it's embarrassing for them to talk that way about you and me, just let me know. We can... avoid each other for a while or something.

SEVERUS,
Wait, my journal? What have you heard? What... I'm going to kill Balthazar... What were you gonna say? Making it seem like what? If it's about me, Severus, I need to know.
Okay, okay... If it's all getting leaked out, then it's gonna be... known within a matter of time anyway. Okay, so maybe when we were younger? I had a crush on you. It was kinda silly, I guess. I was just a quiet little shy girl, and I dunno. I suppose I thought you were cute. I dunno, my journal's... pretty old. I haven't written in it lately.
It doesn't embarrass me. Does it embarrass you? I do recall overhearing someone asking when we were just gonna start dating already. Made me kinda.. laugh, I guess. Haha.

Lita:
Oh, I see. So they're going off of information that's really old... I guess that makes them kind of stupid, doesn't it?
Glad I understand now.
Someone asked that? I'm sorry. It's probably been very annoying for you, if you've had to deal with people making those kinds of comments. I can't imagine it being a good rumor. Wanting to go out with me, I mean. But you said you hadn't really heard about it, didn't you? I guess.... I'm just rambling...
But I am sorry if you're being made uncomfortable on my account.

SEVERUS,
Why so hard on yourself, Severus? You're brilliant. You're brilliant, and handsome, and smart, and so great. Any girl would be absolutely lucky to have you in their life. Err... I suppose that just makes me sound silly, but I know I'd feel proud to have someone like you.
And don't be silly. I'm not being made uncomfortable. Are you? If it's becoming a problem for you, I could try to settle it... I know who's.. started it all anyway.

You're very sweet, but reality has proven what people normally tend to describe me as. But I do appreciate the thought- not every day I get compliments.
Even if they are reckless lies.
I'm used to rumors, so it really makes no difference to me, but if you know who started the whole thing, you should do something to punish them.

SEVERUS,
You judge yourself so harshly. It's true. You are an amazing individual, whether you choose to believe it... well, I'll tell you how amazing you are every single day for the rest of my life if it'll help in making you see your true potential.
I wouldn't lie to you about something that important.
It's also... not that easy. Xander has a lot more held oer my head then just the way I feel about you. He has my journal. My personal secrets... I can't afford for them to be released... even if it's already beginning.

Lita:
I see I can't convince you, but that's alright. I can't really complain about someone being nice about me.
Do people forget we're in a magic school? It should be really easy to get your journal back. That kid has nothing on me when it comes to spells. I'll take it from him soon, you don't have to worry about it. Honestly, I think if you spent less time worrying about secrets being revealed, you'd see the problem isn't as big as you believe.
Also: you mean what you used to feel about me, right?

SEVERUS,
Oh.. sure I could summon it back. Sure, I could hex him into next week... but you really have no idea how... big these secrets are. If they got spread around the school, Not only would I be the laughing stock of the entire student body, but I would... oh, just... nevermind.
I've already... kinda decided I'm gonna confront him about it, anyway. I'm finished doing his dirty work. May as well just accept the fact I'm going to get laughed into an early grave.
Err... yea. Used to...

Lita:
No offense, but it still seems you've chosen poor methods for dealing with this whole situation. Getting the book back is the easiest part, sure, but you should have come to me sooner. You do realize that I'm extremely good at memory-altering spells, don't you? I could have him none the wiser in an hour. All we have to do is catch him.
I just want to help.
