His office was cold and desolate; the floor and ceiling were made of concrete, the walls of dark bricks. It was rectangular in shape, his large stone desk sat at the end, like a tunnel leading those towards their doom. Harry chuckled softly, Gryffindor, Hufflepuff and Ravenclaws must be terrified every time they had to meet the Potions Master here. It was great for intimidation. "What is so amusing Hartford?" Severus asked with an amused glint in his black eyes, as if he knew but was asking anyway. "Very intimidating, I can just see the weak pissing their pants when they get called in." Harry said chuckling again with a smirk that was directly inherited from his Father. "It suits the persona you portray to Dumbledore and the rest of the students." Hermione added approvingly as her and Harry’s eyes roamed over the rest of the room, taking it all in. The walls on the left and right side had stone shelves coming out from them, each shelf was covered completely with Potions ingredients. This was his own personal storage, the Potions classroom had it’s own storage room. The fireplace behind his desk was dark, with burnt out logs and ash. "I do try." Severus said dryly as he watched them look around. Although it worked in his favour as being seen as a cold and harsh man, the actual reason for his office being so empty was rather simple. He was a Potions Master, and his office doubled as his own private brewing room, many of the ingredients could be damaged with too much light or heat. With his rooms being so cold and dark, he only needed to rely on charms to protect them on the rare occasions he did have a fire going. Moreover, Potions were extremely volatile and it was easier to prevent environmental accidents in such rooms as Severus’. "Your Father will be in my private rooms." Severus said as he reached his hand out to his fireplace, on the side was small hole, placing his wand in it Severus smirked when Harry and Hermione’s jaws dropped as the fireplace vanished from view leaving behind a door. "It is charmed so only allowed wands will open and unlock the door, any other wand will reveal the door but they then have to knock and wait for me. Apparently I made a mistake allowing your Father access." Severus joked as he opened the door to present his own rooms. "That hurt’s Severus." Tom smirked as he stood up and placed his glass of Firewhiskey on the side table. "You don’t have a heart to get hurt." Severus scoffed with a smirk, his eyes laughing when Tom sent him a glare.
