Trials and Tribulations
A professor's work is never done.
During a recent Potions lesson it came to my attention that Mr Potter's left shoelace was partially undone. When confronted with this fact, Mr Potter blithely ignored my request to attend to the problem and instead demonstrated that his shoes, in fact, had no laces but rather extremely noisy, obnoxious fasteners he identified as something called "Velcro." The rasping, grating sound the wretched things made as he opened and closed them gave me a slight twinge behind the right eye, which I believe was completely intentional on his part.
Therefore, I have extracted twenty points from Gryffindor for his disruptive and insolent behaviour, and have given Millicent Bulstrode a detention. She will accompany Lavender Brown and Parvati Patil on their next excursion into Hogsmeade this Wednesday, running errands for Professor Trelawney. I am certain it will prove to be an extremely enjoyable experience for Miss Bulstrode to spend several long, tedious hours in the company of such scintillating creatures.
You can thank Mr Potter for this opportunity, Miss Bulstrode.
I have also been made aware that Potter's marks in Transfiguration have slipped by almost a quarter of a grade. This is of course extremely disappointing considering Potter's noble and legendary heritage, and so I must deduct yet another ten points from Gryffindor house, and award yet another detention, this time to Blaise Zabini.
Zabini will accompany Madame Pomfrey tomorrow as she gives her annual sexual education lectures to the 5th years. I am sure that Blaise Zabini's presence during these lessons will prove completely vital and wholly confusing to the impressionable pubescents. The sheer amount of therapy that will inevitably be required for the wretches is simply staggering, to say the least.
A busy day for you, indeed, Mr Potter. It is to be certain that this will not be the last time I am forced to dole out unspeakable punishment to the innocent, because of your antics.
Good evening, Hogwarts.
