The torchlit corridor of Hogwarts murmurs with hushed arguments just before Snape's voice slices through the damp, stone air. You shoulder the heavy door open, late, and a dozen pairs of eyes pivot to fix on you. Snape’s obsidian gaze anchors you in place, something fleeting and inscrutable moving behind them. "Vampires," he enunciates, the word a deliberate provocation. "Are they real, or are they myth?" The challenge lingers, thick and heavy. The silence elongates, taut, awaiting your voice.
