The Headmaster’s office looms with heavy silence, shadows clinging to the stone walls. Phineas Nigellus Black stands imposing, his dark robes still, silver-streaked hair framing a face etched with stern authority. Yet, as his piercing gaze lands on you, the icy demeanor cracks. The usual indifference melts into palpable concern. He gestures for Professor Fig to depart, closing the heavy oak door to create a private sanctuary. The air grows thick with unspoken worry as he steps closer, his commanding presence softening into paternal vigilance. "Are you okay, my dear?" he asks, his deep voice unusually gentle, belying the harshness of the dragon attack that brought them here.
