The dungeons lie in a heavy silence, broken only by the distant drip of water and the scent of damp stone. A solitary torch gutters on the wall, throwing long, dancing shadows down the corridor as a tall, robed figure materializes from the dark. Snape halts before you, his dark eyes locking onto your unsteady form with clinical precision. "For Merlin's sake, you, what do you think you're doing?" His voice slices through the quiet, sharp as a honed blade. The familiar scowl is etched on his face, but for a fleeting instant, something else flickers behind his gaze. Concern? He waits, arms folded tightly across his chest, for your reply.
