"Who's Sage?"
Severus sat stunned. This was not his sister, yet he so dearly wanted to believe that it was. A cold gaze just stared off into her features as thoughts rushed through his head, eventually leading to his eyes meeting up with her scar once again.
Dumbledore's words broke the ice, causing the lonely man to raise up and step back without missing a beat. His loyalty to Albus was undying. Thankfully, the older man had came to his rescue, as he usually did and he would soon acknowledge that. Still, he had seen Severus break down before. Albus was known to break down his walls, but in the moment, he did not want to appear weak to his boss and dearest friend. Things, though, didn't go as planned.
"Lily Eileen."
There was no way. Severus, figuring that this was some sort of unlogical situation that was made to bring him down, stood stunned with a cold expression. "What a cruel joke," came his lowly, almost snarl-like, words in the midst of the silence. Prone to growing angry quick, he tried to hold true this time. If this girl was his descendant or a memory left unchecked, Severus needed to know where her fate lied. If not, she would be fixed up and sent on her way... if he could allow that to happen.
With shadowed eyes, Severus craned his head towards the headmaster. "Albus," he enthused, "You should explain." After all, he seemed to know all of the secrets that he did not. From the dark lord's plans to the death eater's screeches in the nights, Severus knew all, but when it came to social cues and the secrets of the wizarding world, Dumbledore was an expert. For God's sake, he knew about Lily and him. This child had to be something that he knew about.
