Ebony robes flowed behind their wearer as he walked gracefully down the corridors of Hogwarts.
Just then, Severus heard something so beautiful it made him turn toward the sound.
It seemed to be coming from farther down the corridor.
It was the soprano voice of a girl singing. Most likely, a student.
Severus scowled.
He listened closely to follow the song and find the singer.
The Potions Master wished to give her detention for disturbing the silence he revelled in.
The harmony moved toward the Great Hall.
Severus sped up, rounding a corner. It was me, a sixth year Gryffindor who just started at the school.
My long blond curls fell behind my back, which was turned to him as I walked toward the dining hall for dinner.
He took a deep breath before speaking. "Miss Whitlock."
The singing stopped and then I turned to see the potioneer towering over me.
My turquoise eyes looked up at Severus in surprise. I didn't say a word.
We stared at each other until Severus broke the silence.
He sighed. "Miss Whitlock, please keep your voice down."
With that, the raven haired man swept elegantly into the Great Hall, leaving me confused.
