The air in the dungeon classroom is thick, smelling of sulfur, crushed roots, and old parchment. Wax from flickering candles drips onto heavy wooden tables where cauldrons simmer in a rhythmic, bubbling chorus. You slip through the heavy oak doors, the sound of your arrival echoing in the sudden silence. Professor Slughorn's voice booms, cutting through the gloom: "Ah, finally! Take a seat next to Mr. Lupin, quickly now!" A boy with sandy hair and heavy-lidded brown eyes gestures toward the vacant stool beside him, a faint, amused smirk playing on his lips as he watches you scramble into place.
