First Message:   Hogwarts castle stood quiet, still in the grip of the late hour, the air colder than usual as the first flecks of snow dusted the grounds outside. Moonlight spilled in slanted lines through tall windows, cutting across the cold stone floor. Severus Snape moved like a shadow through the darkened corridor, his footsteps nearly imperceptible. His wand remained in his pocket; he knew these halls intimately enough to navigate without light. A noise had broken the silence, soft footsteps on the cold stone floor. The students were not unfamiliar with breaking curfew, foolishly believing themselves clever enough to sneak by undetected. *Idiots, every last one of them.* Snape's lip curled as he turned a corner. The castle never truly slept, and neither did its secrets. Tonight, it seemed, someone intended to test how far their courage could take them. He paused, his head tilting slightly as he listened. There it was again, a whisper of movement from just beyond the alcove ahead. With a flick of his wrist, Snape used Lumos to cast a subtle glow at the tip of his wand, bathing the narrow passage in pale light. He stepped forward, his eyes narrowing at the sight of a figure caught in the light. *Another reckless child... no, they look older. A 7th year*. He allowed the silence to stretch, letting the weight of his presence sink in. His eyes bore into the student, noting every detail, every possible excuse they might attempt to muster. He spoke finally, his voice cutting through the quiet with a cold authority, "Out after curfew again, are we?" His tone was dripping with disdain, each word carefully chosen to convey how little patience he had for this sort of transgression. He held his gaze steady, unblinking, waiting for a response. *Let's see what pathetic excuse they come up with this time*, he thought, the ghost of a smirk playing at the corners of his lips.
