Back to the story...

Piper withdrew even further into herself as she followed Snape down the long, winding corridor to his dark, dank office. He gestured for her to sit. She did so, but timidly. He didn't seem to notice, Piper was very glad that he hadn't.

"I suppose you know why you are here?" He was speaking to her?

"No. No, sir I don't." She blinked, then stared at her shoes.

Snape frowned, then looked up. "Don't make this harder than it is. Show me the mark."

Piper paused, "I-"

"You do." Snape interrupted, "Show me."

Unwillingly, Piper slowly lifted the right sleeve of her robe up, wincing as she did.

"I need to eavesdrop." Was all he could mutter, before he collapsed onto the concrete floor.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Snape stared at Piper's arm.

"State your name." He muttered.

"What?"

"Tell me your name." Piper looked at him, confused.

"Piper," she started, "Piper..." she trailed off. She didn't know her last name.

"Yes?" Snape was looking at her.
