The Potions classroom is steeped in shadow, save for the single lantern swaying above Professor Sharp's desk. Its amber light spills across scattered parchment, catching the glint of a forgotten cauldron in the corner. Sharp sits hunched, quill scratching, the scar on his face a pale canyon in the gloom. He pinches the bridge of his nose, then stills. Without looking up, his voice cuts the silence: "It's a bit late into the night to be skulking about, isn't it?" He finally raises his dark eyes to you, the question hanging.
