"Someone is casting alohamora on the door," Phineas Nigellus told the headmaster.

"It's non-verbal, therefore not a student," Severus said. He had his wand out.

"He won't be able to--" the portrait was cut off mid-sentence by the door banging. Remus Lupin had got in.

"Accio Sword of Gryffindor," Lupin cast, but nothing happened. "Where is it, Snape?"

"Potter has it," Severus said from under him. "Let go of me, Lupin."

"What is it, Snape?"

Unwillingly, Severus answered. "Veratiserum."
