It was quiet in the house for once, Magda was out at her weekly meetings and she brought Lea with her, Crowley wasn't pestering his house with his presence and there were no sparklepires anywhere near the place.
He sat in the quiet, grading papers, with a familiar scowl.
Simply because no one was there to ask him what was wrong, or if he was all right, or if he needed anything.
It was his... happy scowl.

Jenn kicked down the door (or rather kicked IN the door) and said with a happy wave of her hand, "HEY BRO!!" She paused a moment then said,"...What the hells wrong with you?"

His quill skidded across the students paper with a sickening snap of the tip. Looking up from his desk, which he now decided would have to be moved to his room to avoid further interruptions, he growled out a response.
"What, do you, want?"

"Weeeell..." Jenn said thoughtfully and sat down on some students papers, which surprisingly held up under her weight, "Nothing really. I would usually be wandering around this time of night but Im trying to lay low for a while." She paused and tilted her head back so she was looking at Snape upside down, "Why, what do you think I want?"

He ignored her question and went straight with the obvious "Why is it that you must lay low, have you finally stolen the crown jewels?"

"No but I'm working on that. Those damn royals are so damn paranoid." She grinned, "But not without reason. Nah, I got in some serious trouble."
Jenn hesitated for only a second before continuing, "I had been in a parkish area and saw this girl get killed by some evil looking dude in a wheelchair. I tried to help the poor girl, but she died before I could get her to a hospital. But for some odd reason one of the nurses thought I killed her and she told the police that! Now I'm wanted for MURDER!!" Jenn threw her hands up in the air. "I mean, what the hell!!"

Snape stared at her for a good while, trying the best he could to make any sense of what she had just told him. He was a smart guy, a teacher and a gifted wizard, but what Jenn just told him caused his mind to seize up.
"A wheel chair?" He finally replied "You saw a girl get murdered by a man in a wheelchair?"

Jenn opened her mouth as if to say something, then closed it, thought a moment, and crossed her arms, "Yanno, I was pretty freaked out by the whole ordeal. I haven't had a chance to really think about it." She looked up with a blank look, "A wheel chair... huh."

He nodded his head with a look that simply said "yup a wheelchair" and grabbed his cane standing up on his good leg and starting for the kitchen "Thirsty?"
It occurred to him that this was probably not the right reaction to finding out that your sister has been falsely accused of murder. But he figured that if she had come to terms with it, why on the earth would he get upset? That and his other sister had tried to kill him, so it wasn't as if he was in anyway surprised, about the situtation.
Of course he had a lot of questions for her, but he was thirsty, so they'd have to wait.

Jenn stared.....
...........
"...CAAAAANE!!!" Jenn ran over and yanked the cane out from Snapes hand, dodging under his arm as a substitute for the support lost. "Your a gimp?! Since when did this happen?"

Snape wobbled for a second before realizing that he was leaning on her, he humphed and snatched the cane from her, setting it back on the floor and adjusting his robes. "Surely you jest" he almost laughed, but he knew she wasn't lying, he knew it because no one, not even she, reacted like that to his disability.
"You mean, you really don't know?"

"I'm not really all that current with what happens around here ((fourth wall: *shatters*)). Before the whole incident-ey thing happened I was only concerned about what I can gain and which rich man had what. I collect things, not news." She shrugged.

He inhaled deeply and walked over to the fridge, grabbing a coke and a beer and handing the beer to Jenn "You might need this" he replied as he sat down slowly at the kitchen table "sit."

She did as told and downed half the beer in one drink, "It only tastes good for the first drink and after the tenth beer. Usually." She sighed, "Is this gonna be a long explanation? I'm sorry but my attention span hasn't increased since the last time we got together like this."

Snape nodded "I'm afraid it is, but no worries, you'll pay attention" he lifted his pant leg to show her the wound which seemed as fresh as they day he got it "Jessica did this to me."
