Ish! If you were to be an Unspeakable, what would you specialize in? What would Snape?

Hi Echo!
I’ve got two exams left to go before I can finally go on break. Your ask was a lovely surprise!
For those of you who aren’t too familiar with the Unspeakables — an Unspeakable is a witch or wizard who works in the Department of Mysteries on Level Nine of the Ministry of Magic. The department works on top secret research into some of the biggest mysteries of life: death, time, space, thought and love.
Unspeakables are kind of scientists that study the things that make magic work, as well. Unspeakables have to maintain confidentiality about their work, and they can’t really talk about it, and rarely talk in general, hence the name of their job. Someone who works in the DoM will be referred to as “Unspeakable [Last Name].”
I think I’d specialize in the study of time, in the Time Room. I’d work with time turners. I’d stay the hell away from the brains in the Brain Room (because Ron). Also the Love Chamber interests me (study of love). But I’d stay away from the Hall of Prophecy because we all know how that worked out
Snape would probably work either in the Death Chamber (because he’s killed before) or the Brain Room (because he’s a skilled Legilimens and Occlumens). Or if we want to be ironic, he could work in the Hall of Prophecy (overhearing Trelawney’s prophecy all those years ago made him curious about this branch of magic) or the Love Chamber (the nature of his old feelings for Lily and the power that stopped Voldemort makes him want to find out more).
Anyway that’s my answer! What about you?
