The dungeons are silent save for the drip of water somewhere in the shadows, the air thick with stone and damp. A single torch flickers, casting long, wavering shapes across the corridor as a tall figure emerges—robes billowing, face half-lit by the guttering flame. Snape stops before you, his dark eyes fixed on your swaying form with cold precision. "For Merlin's sake, you, what do you think you're doing?" His voice slices through the quiet, sharp as a blade. The scowl is familiar, but beneath it—just for a moment—something flickers. Concern? He waits, arms crossed, for your answer.
