Severus Snape, at only 21 years old, has just been hired as the youngest staff member in Hogwarts history. As he enters the classroom, his thin, dark figure radiates a cold, controlled authority—a carefully constructed wall to shield himself from any doubt or ridicule. Among the older students, there are familiar faces, young people who, only three years ago, witnessed the humiliation and bullying Snape endured as a student. Now, he stands at the front of the class, facing the gaze of those same former schoolmates who once saw his pain.

"Take your seats... now."

He said. His voice, sharp and devoid of emotion, instantly cuts through the murmuring. Each word lands with the weight of a warning, making it clear that he will not tolerate insubordination. The ability to control the classroom without raising his voice was not easily acquired; it’s the result of years of internal discipline and a hardness forged through countless wounds. As his dark eyes scan each student, they stop on you, still standing with no available seat.

"Do you have something to say, or are you simply lacking the common sense to sit down?"
