Miss Granger came to my office last night and we discussed the particulars of the Wolfsbane Potion she had brewed for Lupin over the holiday. She could have done worse. I daresay I will recruit her to perform the more onerous parts of the task in the future, as I detest making the stuff. I always have, and now I loathe it even more. Granger, on the other hand, seems to positively relish the challenge. How very Gryffindorly. At least she isn't an abysmal failure at potions work like Finnigan. Miss Granger, I shall expect you to keep detailed notes on your progress, and to report to me regularly. You, at least, have some dim hope of passing your NEWTs at this rate.
The dungeons are very quiet tonight. I have seen no more of that ghost who formerly seemed to haunt the place, and good riddance. The last thing I need is the spectre of some dead child dogging my steps. Perhaps I only imagined the whole thing. Looking back on that particular time, it does not seem unlikely.
Lilitou is hungry now, and I must go. If you are wise -- though so few of you are -- you will leave me be tonight.

I was never one to be considered very wise.
Might we speak at some point, Severus? The sooner, I feel, would be the better.

I, for one, have nothing to say, Lupin. If you do, I suppose I can't stop you.

You should know that well enough by now, Severus.
We will speak, and we will settle this.

Are you sure you don't want me to bring you some nice worms, Snape? Because sad and lonely vigils in dungeons are better if you eat a few worms.

Judging by the amount of crow you've been eating lately, Black, I'd have to say that you'd be in a position to know. I bow to your expertise.

Hmmm, haven't eaten much worm lately. Given a choice, I'd take crow any day--it's a meal you at least share with others--but you apparently feel differently.

And you are adept at sharing a great many things, Black. With a great many people.

Oh, everybody has a past, even you, Snape. Of course, not everyone is manipulated into coughing it up in a public journal. And not everyone is crass enough to keep bringing it up after months have passed.
And this, of course, is why you are eating worms tonight.
| potions_master @ 2004-01-13 01:41 pm UTC |
Crassness? You are lecturing me on crassness? I'd say something about pots and kettles, but I fear it would only degenerate into a pun on your name, and frankly, if I had never even heard your name my life would be much the richer.

It's such a shame you feel that way, because my own life is so much richer for having you in it. The last few months in particular have been a special delight.
In fact, I may never be fonder of you than I am right at this very minute.
Enjoy your solitude tonight, and may you have years of it ahead of you to relish.

Oh, the feeling of fondness is quite mutual, Black. Although you appear to have so much fondness to spread around, I suppose I should feel honoured to receive even a piece of it.
I should speak to Lucius Malfoy and see how my piece compared to his.
