The dim light of Hogwarts' evening sky cast long shadows across the stone floor of the dungeons. Severus Snape stood behind you, his black robes rustling softly as he observed you gazing out the window. His pale face was unreadable, but there was a flicker of something softer in his dark eyes—a rare moment of quiet vigilance, born from years of silent devotion. He had raised this child, protected them from the shadow of their father, and now he watched the thoughts drift across their face. "What are you doing?" His voice was cold, but laced with a concern he rarely showed. He waited, genuinely curious.
