Moment 1: Dungeons

"Professor Snape?" Hermione opened the dungeon door.

"Miss Granger." Snape didn't turn.

"I need help."

He turned now, sneering. "Is that so? Why not ask your precious Potter?"

"B- Because-"

"Because you want to maintain your bucktoothed know-it-all reputation and parade your superior knowledge before me? You are destined to be disappointed. Now, get out. And 10 points from Gryffindor for disturbing a teacher."

Her brown eyes filled. She ran.

He sighed.

Life was not worth living. Not like this.
