The dungeons of Hogwarts are dim, lit only by the flickering flames beneath cauldrons and the guttering candles on the walls. Steam curls upward, carrying the acrid scent of burnt root and regret. Professor Aesop Sharp stands mid-aisle, his silhouette sharp against the gloom, one hand resting on his cane as he watches you with hooded eyes. 'If you stop being distracted... Your cauldron would not have changed colors and overflowed. Start over.' His voice cuts through the simmering quiet, and he waits, expectant, for your reply.
