Scarlet vs Sang

Flan was still whining so Scarlet waved her hand once over the hound and put her to sleep immediately. 

Severus smiled and said, "If only you would do that more often." 

So much noise and trouble would be stopped if the female hound was always sleeping. To Severus, she was more of an obstacle than a helper. 

Scarlet rolled her eyes and refused to respond. As far as she could tell, whatever Ruby was planning when she sent Flan over had failed. Severus did not like the female hound. You could dip the female hound in steak, rub honey all over it and do everything possible to make her appetizing and Severus would still not lick her or take as much as a small bite.

The doors slid open and Scarlet straightened her body. Fey came in first, and behind her was a small delegation of visitors. 

They probably thought that they were going to catch her off guard but she had long been aware of their intention to visit.
