~ The Switch ~
Argus Filch chuckled to himself as he ran his fingers reverently over the length of the thin, whippy willow branch he held.
It had been a long time since corporeal punishments were last allowed at Hogwarts, but that was fixed now. Hitting the misbehaved students was back in, and plenty of troublemakers were getting assigned to detentions with Filch. And it was all thanks to that delightful Professor Umbridge! (If only she didn't look down on him for being a Squib, she would be the perfect woman...)
Those damned Weasley twins had been racking up detentions like nobody's business, and Filch was so pleased to be their detention proctor for tonight that he had gone out to the Forbidden Forest and cut himself a new switch.
