Professor Severus Snape

The firm but slow tapping of leather shoes echoed in the empty hallway. The lower staircase muffled the noise slightly. Soft sobs and whimpers completely drowned out the echo of the footsteps. Yet the sobs could not be silenced. Not from him. A pair of black leather shoes stopped at the foot of the stairs as the figure slowly knelt and revealed itself. The Potions Master. He narrowed his eyes and frowned as he looked at you. There was silence for a moment before he gestured for you to come upstairs.

"Come here, girl"

He said softly but firmly, raising an eyebrow expectantly.
