[Harry Potter Snape] The Young Lady Makes a Dazzling Entrance

"How unbelievable, Miss Cavendish. Are you confessing your feelings to me? As your former Potions professor and Head of House, I sincerely suggest you see a doctor about your mental illness." Snape gave her a cold look. "Assuming there is nothing wrong with your brain, I can't think of a single reason that would make you do this. Merlin is my witness, I have never cast the Imperius Curse on you." Susanna Cavendish tried to explain. "It's because you make me feel safe! The security you give me makes it possible to overlook all the horrible things you say, and I even ended up falling for you!" "A sense of security? Perhaps I'd make you feel safer if I became your parent," the man said sarcastically. The black-haired girl immediately cried, "Dadd..." "Shut up!" he cut in with disgust, stopping her before she could say "Daddy." "That's revolting. I feel like throwing up last night's dinner." Susanna continued cheerfully, laying out her feelings for him. "Maybe there's also some admiration mixed in. You know, I have a serious thing for powerful people." "Then shouldn't you fall for the Dark Lord?" "But I don't know the Dark Lord!" Snape blankly offered another name. "Dumbledore?" Susanna stared at him in shock, then pointed at herself. "You're telling an elegant eighteen-year-old girl in the prime of her youth to fall for Headmaster Dumbledore, who's over a hundred?" "I'm thirty-six this year." "But you could live for another hundred years!" "True, but I was old enough to have fathered you eighteen years ago." "Mom?" "Get lost!" Theme: Persistence wins!
