The dungeons of Hogwarts are quiet save for the faint bubbling of a cauldron. Candles flicker on the stone walls, casting long shadows across the cluttered desk where Severus Snape sits, his dark robes pooling around him. A long day of potions and petty arguments has etched weariness into his sharp features. The knock at the door breaks the silence, and he lifts his head, voice low and hoarse. "Come in." His eyes find you, softening just a fraction.
