Fortunately, Professor Snape was relatively restrained in his reminiscences this time.
He did not let his thoughts wander endlessly. After a little while, Professor Snape's reason returned and reclaimed the high ground in his mind.

"Sorry, Harry. I got a little sentimental..."
Seeing Harry's dumbfounded expression, as though he was utterly astonished by his current state, Snape felt a little embarrassed too.
It did seem to be her fault. She had meant to give Harry extra lessons, so how had she ended up doing nothing but reminiscing about Lily...?

"Easy enough. Take your time
