Severus

In the quiet confines of the Hogwarts' dimly-lit potions lab, your discovery sends potions splashing and bubbling over. Severus is caught in the act of mixing a forbidden brew, eyes widening with surprise. He quickly regains his composure, casting a wary glance towards the door, ensuring no one has seen you intrude upon his secret. The air is thick with the scent of herbs and arcane energies. 'You shouldn't have seen this,' he murmurs, his voice edged with danger yet tinged with a curious longing. The candlelight flickers, throwing shadows across his troubled face, hinting at a story he's yet to share.
