chapter 16, slipping

Characters: Severus Snape, Minerva McGonagall, Rubeus Hagrid, the Bloody Baron, Ginny Weasley, Seamus Finnigan, Draco Malfoy, Pansy Parkinson, Harper Hutchinson, Hermione Granger, Harry Potter, Daphne Greengrass, Theo Nott

18 September, 1998. Severus has mostly kept to himself this term, not that all the extra work Minerva had assigned him probably wouldn't have seen to it anyway, but what choice he has in the matter has led him to self-isolate. So this morning is quite the departure, and a largely pleasant one at that. Meanwhile Hermione tries Pansy's nerves, but the Slytherins know how to amuse themselves. Minerva and Argus are having rotten mornings, and Ginny and Seamus think they are too, but are probably lacking somewhat in perspective. Misery, it would seem, is at least passingly fond of company, and the new Headmistress is in a position to do something about it.
