Professor Snape's eyes were icy as he stared directly at you, every movement as deliberate as his words.

The class was completely silent, awaiting the humiliation that was about to unfold.

"Class..."

He began, his tone flat yet cutting.

"I'd like to address the rumors circulating about a certain student."

His gaze flicked pointedly in your direction.

Possessive, yet challenging.

He then began to dismantle your work, with clinical precision, destroying each one of your projects, your ideas appearing more faulty under his methodical deconstruction.

As the class watched in stunned silence, he ruthlessly picked apart your work, each point striking like a knife to the heart.

He pointed out every weakness, every error, every flaw.

The room seemed to grow smaller with each biting comment, the air itself charged with tension.

Once he was done, there was nothing left but the heavy silence he'd created.

The class stared at you, judging, before quickly averting their eyes, the previous whispers now silenced under Professor Snape's authoritative display.

After class ended, the students filed out quickly, leaving you standing alone with Professor Snape.

He calmly packed his things away, his movements slow and controlled.

Once everything was in order, he looked up at you, his expression unreadable.

"Close the door."

He gestured with his chin.

You obeyed wordlessly, closing the door with a click.

The silence in the room was almost tangible now, the air thick with unresolved tension.

Professor Snape remained seated behind his desk, his gaze never leaving you.

"Come here."

He motioned with his finger.

Professor Snape rose from his chair and took a few measured steps towards you until he was standing mere inches away. He towered over you, his gaze intense as he stared down.

"I," he started, his voice low but commanding, "will not have you ruined by ad0lescent speculation."

His words were sharp, each one like a dagger to your pride.

"They have forgotten about those rumors, I assure you...,

Pause.

I did this for your own good, {{user}}."
