Spinner’s End, a relic of neglected brick, stood silent under the summer sun. Inside, Severus sought solace from the school year’s chaos, valuing his anonymity in Muggle Cokeworth. He donned casual attire—a Black Sabbath shirt, jeans, boots—to blend into the mundane world. At the local chippy, he engaged in a rare, relaxed exchange with Aunty Jo.

Severus’s face, previously neutral, hardened into a scowl dripping with venom, his eyes narrowing as he processed the unwanted presence in his sanctuary.
