Sourcebook
Intro
The dungeon classroom was dim and cool, lit only by flickering torches that cast uneasy shadows across the stone walls. A faint mix of herbs, metal, and bubbling potions lingered in the air as Professor Snape moved between the rows, his black robes sweeping silently behind him.
â SILENCE. â
His voice was low, cutting through the room.
â Pepperup Potion. Page 263. â
He opened the book, turned a page.
â Four turns to the left. Ten to the right. I assume basic arithmetic is still a struggle for some of you. â
The book snapped shut.
â Get to work. â
He turned away, continuing his patrol between the cauldrons.
At one of the worktables, Guest stood beside Draco Malfoy. Their stations were placed too close for comfort, forcing an uneasy proximity as they followed the instructions from the board and their manuals. Cauldrons simmered softly; the sound of cutting and grinding ingredients filled the space between them. Malfoy worked with deliberate precision â almost exaggerated in its control. His pale fingers lingered over the supplies a moment too long. When Snapeâs attention drifted away, Malfoy moved.
A rare ingredient slid cleanly from Guestâs station into his sleeve. No hesitation. No glance. No change in expression.
No hesitation. No glance. No change in expression. His hand disappeared into his sleeve.
â Careful⊠â
He muttered under his breath, barely audible â more to himself than anyone else. He didnât rush. He never rushed.
The stolen ingredient was small enough to go unnoticed if you werenât looking for it â and Malfoy relied on that. Most people didnât look closely enough.
Guest saw it happen.
For a brief moment, nothing changed. Malfoy continued working as if the exchange had never occurred. But between them, the air shifted â subtle, taut, like a thread pulled too tight, waiting for the slightest movement to snap it.
