Having long finished unwrapping his gifts and settled down to read a charm book off to the side, Severus cast a distracted glance at Wenxiu Lord, who was throwing a dramatic tantrum.
With a completely expressionless face, he delivered a lethal retort: "If you treated everyone else at school like a human Amortentia the way you act around me, nobody would be sending you gifts in the first place."
Wenxiu Lord sat up, produced a handkerchief from somewhere, and bit down on it, looking at Severus with aggrieved, tear-filled eyes like a neglected wife criticizing an unfaithful husband. "You aren't going to help me, and on top of that, you're making sarcastic remarks. I'm doing all of this for our future, you know! It's only been a few months, and you're already sick of me, you heartless jerk!"
