Alora had decided on her first task today: pay the Dungeons a visit and get the permission from Snape to use the Student Laboratory.

If she conquered this challenge first, she could do more fun stuff afterwards without an uneasy feeling.

Although having a kind of dreading feeling, she entered the Dungeons and quickly made her way to Snape’s Office. Standing in front of it, she just took one deep breath before she dared to knock at the door. It was better to get it over with quickly, right?

'Enter,' Professor Snape said.

With a swish of his wand, the door suddenly swung open -- yet magically prevented from banging against the wall. The doorway clear, Snape awaited his company to make an entrance and explain why his peace was being intruded upon yet again. He glanced up just enough to see who it was, then resumed his task at hand.

Most notable was a decent stack of leather-bound books on one side of his desk. There were titles such as An Intricate Comparison of Werewolves and Wuffsnouts, The Most Advanced Study of Counter-Poisons, Lost and Forgotten Counter-Curses, An Ancient Guide to Forbidden Magical Practices, and A Last Resort to Deadly Cures.

After not trying to flinch at the sudden opening of the door, she took all her courage and walked up to Snape.

“Good morning, Professor! I would like to ask for permission to use the Student Laboratory”, She paused for a moment before she added honestly “As you know, I actually could use the extra practise. And I really, really want to get better at brewing potions.”

It was not that she hated potion brewing per se. It was just that she was so bad at it that it constantly reminded her of failure – and she was determined to change that. Even if it meant failing hundreds of times before succeeding once. She wouldn’t give up.

Filled with resolution, her expression clearly showing it, she faced Snape and awaited his answer.

There was a notable grimace in his expression at the use of Alora Sagemore and Potion-Making being in the same sentence. Yet Professor Snape scrutinised the young Gryffindor, almost as if he was reading her mind. He drew out the moment, letting her be nervous and unsure.

'Very well. I shall grant you a chance to prove you're willing to dedicate yourself to the task at hand.' He summoned a scroll to the front of his desk for Alora to grab, which listed ingredients and their locations around Hogwarts.

Snape turned his interest back to his own task, making it clear he was done with their conversation. If it could even be called that.

'Bring me five ingredients you've collected yourself,' he explained, sorting some papers under candlelight. 'Only then shall I consider your request.'

Alora tried to ignore the grimace on Snape’s face, but it still nagged a bit on her. Especially as he drew out his decision.

What if he wouldn’t allow her to use it or even get the chance to prove her resolve? She wouldn’t resent him for it, she could understand if one wouldn’t want her to use the Student Laboratory alone.

After a short second, she corrected herself.

She would definitely resent him for it. How dare he would give someone the chance not to improve oneself? She would – Oh, he allowed it!

Happy to hear she could prove herself to him and didn’t have to... persuade him for it, let her feel at ease.

“Shall do, Professor!” Alora answered in high spirits, picked up the scroll and left the office and the Dungeon behind her.
