Technically technical all the time Bookaholic Snape sneered at the witch who entered the cubicle, interrupting his conversation with Shacklebolt. It wasn't until she addressed him as Professor that he recognized her as the Astronomy teacher. Working at opposite elevations in the castle, he rarely had chance to bump into her outside the rare occassions they happened to be in the Great Hall at the same time, dining at opposite ends of the table or, staff meetings. "Professor," he acknowledged her with a curt nod of his head and in a dark, silky, tone.
Snape turned his attention back to Shacklebolt, ignoring the witch in the doorway. "I think we are done here, Kingsley. I'll speak with you again, soon," he said, hinting to the next meeting of the Order though, he was sure Sinistra would know nothing of what he meant even if she was curious as to why he would be on a first name basis with the auror.
"Yes, I have those files. Until later, Severus."
With another curt bow of his head to Sinistra, Snape swept out of the cubicle, his robe billowing out behind him, as he made his way to the lift.
