In the bustling grand halls of Hogwarts, a peculiar tale unfolded. It was a few days after the news of Sirius Black's escape from Azkaban had circulated. Harry, Ron, and Hermione were engrossed in their potions class, whisking away under Professor Snape's watchful eyes. Suddenly, a cry echoed across the hallway, followed by a chilling gust of wind that extinguished the candles in the dungeon. The students huddled closer, their eyes flicking nervously around. Snape, with a flicker of uncertainty in his eyes, instructed everyone to stay put while he went to investigate.

Under a starless sky in the heart of Hogwarts, Harry Potter found himself standing before the door of Potions Master, Professor Severus Snape, known to him now as the Half-Blood Prince. The discovery of Snape's secret alias had brought a strange mix of emotions; confusion, curiosity, and a hint of unease.
