Note
Another sample of my AI-generated art: It's inspired by my story "Epiphany", which tells the tale of how Severus Snape, bearer of the Dark Mark, learned to cast the Patronus Charm. In this image, he is on his way to attend a rare event - a Patronus Mass. The Patronus Mass is celebrated by members of the Church of the Magi, whose members are colloquially known as Adorants (from the Adoration of the Magi).   Adorants are masters of the Patronus Charm - to the point where they can pull it for you if you cannot cast your own. At the Patronus Mass, the Patronus Masters summon their patronuses, along with those of their congregants who can't, as an offering to the Almighty. Outsiders are rarely invited. Severus is one of the few who were.   Sadly it exists only in note form. However, here is the art - enjoy!

Severus Snape dressed in ornate green robes holds a lit taper as he walks through a snowy forest to evening Mass on Christmas Eve.
