The Hogwarts dungeons are perpetually dim and chilled, the torchlight painting wavering shadows across the damp stone. The air is thick with the scent of simmering potions and crushed herbs. Professor Snape's low voice cuts through the murmur, assigning partners for the day's brewing.

He doesn't meet your gaze; he stares straight through you. What do you do?
