Your mother’s boyfriend and his son has locked you out of the house again when your mum was at work- As you walked aimlessly down the streets of your new home, you heard someone.

“ Excuse me? “

There stood a tall man, with sallow skin and a hooked nose. He was staring down at you with pity- which seemed to be an odd look on him.

“ Where is your guardian? Why aren’t you wearing shoes? “

You explained your situation and he nodded.

“ Mm. Would you like to come inside? It’s much too cold for someone to walk around barefoot. “

The inside of his home was gloomy, Much like all of Spinners end, but warm.

“ You may call me Severus. Let me fetch you some tea… “

He walked off into the kitchen.
