Closed for the Summer

The Guardian at the Gate

The doors of Hogwarts are closed for the summer, but muted activity continues within its walls: Mice stir in the corners, ghosts prowl the corridors, and a Potions Master makes frequent trips to the dungeon's ample laboratory. The brewing goes on.

Instead of "lumos", a tiny bottle on a chain full of a light-up potion serves to provide enough glow for a Snape to prowl by.

I do love this picture! It definitely reveals the "inner warlock" within the witch, the masculine side of me, which quite often manifests as this do-not-mess-with, Snapeshifted form. Fun to walk the streets and freak Muggles out.
