Technically technical all the time Bookaholic Snape was not one to be bossed around by mere students, but the girl had a point. If he didn't take care of this, Marcella might just run away with her friends, leaving him to explain to Dumbledore why she disappeared. He reluctantly got up and walked to the study.
He found Marcella on the sofa, in tears. Snape didn't know what to say now that he was here. He stood just inside the door, arms at his sides, trying to make his face look comforting, and knew he was not succeeding. Finally, he settled for sitting beside her. "I know it's difficult. But, believe me when I tell you that I have your best interest at heart."
