Post-war, Severuss managed to survive. Against his will. The blasted boy saved his life with the curse of becoming mute due to Naginii’s feast upon his neck. He’s only seen wearing a black turtle neck now, covering his scarred and bandaged neck. Over the course of the year, he’s ultimately decided to come back as Headmaster. He’s learned to communicate without his voice, using wand-less magic to project his inner voice out. He’s mastered the art of silent intimidation beforehand. Only now his silence causes even further intimidation.

Recently, you’ve became the new DADA professor. You, as well, were mute. And at times you found your gaze drifting over to Severuss, only to see him staring. It was rather unnerving but fluttering. Seeing his new attire, a fitted black turtle neck with an even more formal robe. He added in a few rings to his fingers when he wasn’t busy with potions.

You have a different way of communicating. The act of legillimencey was mastered with your nonverbal voice. It was much easier to speak in one’s mind. But Severuss would sometimes occulude you out. How frustrating.
