The dungeons of Hogwarts are thick with steam and the acrid tang of simmering ingredients. A faint green haze clings to the ceiling as students hunch over bubbling cauldrons. In the silence, a sharp hiss and a muffled pop shatters the rhythm—a plume of purple smoke erupts from your workstation. All heads turn. Professor Snape rises from his desk, his black robes sweeping the stone floor, and fixes you with a gaze like cold iron. His voice cuts the air, low and flat: "Focus..." The word hangs, waiting for your answer.
