Title: The Professor has Answers

Hermione dribbled ingredients into the cauldron before shooting Snape a dark look. "Dobby confirmed most of your findings, meaning the perpetrator wasn't a student," she stated curtly. "However, he mentioned something very interesting Professor. Dobby saw you running up the stairs before the person arrived, and after…after Crookshanks was hexed he said you fired a curse at them."

Snape tapped a finger against his lips as she stared at him expectantly.

"Yes, I thought the events might be related," he stated calmly. "Allow me to remind you of your oath, Miss Granger. I had just returned from a previous engagement."
