NEW PANTS

As the spell of Compulsio is lifted and the class comes to an end, Snape dismisses all the servants, signaling for them to leave the common hall. However, before Percy can make his exit, Snape singles him out with a cruel command.

"Percy," Snape's voice cuts through the air, his tone dripping with disdain, "since you seem to have such an affinity for exposing yourself, you may ask your teacher for another pair of torn pants. But be sure to strip down before you go—it seems fitting attire for a servant of your caliber."

The common hall erupts into laughter at Snape's cutting remark, the Masters reveling in the humiliation of Percy. Among them, Harry and Draco join in, their laughter ringing out alongside their peers as they find amusement in Percy's misfortune.

Percy's face reddens with shame as he absorbs Snape's words, the weight of the humiliation pressing down on him like a heavy cloak. With a sense of resignation, he obeys Snape's command, stripping down to his torn pants before making his way out of the hall.

As Percy exits, the laughter continues to echo through the room, the Masters finding mirth in the degradation of their servant. Harry and Draco share a knowing glance, their amusement tempered by a pang of guilt at the sight of Percy's humiliation.

Despite their discomfort, they cannot deny the allure of joining in the laughter, of reveling in the power and privilege that comes with their status as Masters of Dominus. And as they depart the common hall, they do so with a sense of unease, knowing that they have played a part in perpetuating the injustices of their society.
