Minerva McGonagall sighed as she watched Severus Snape make yet another round of the hallways. She stood up deciding to finally stop it as it was driving her insane. She glanced at her reflection in the large mirror donning the wall in her bedroom. She considered changing into her robes but hurried away from the room ass the other professor disappeared around a corner.
'Severus, I believe that some rest would serve you better than patrolling the halls so much.' Minerva said a faint smile flickering across her face as the other teacher slowed his rather hurried pace so that the much older witch could catch up with him.. He proceeded along the hallway when she had caught up with him his pace slower so that Minerva could keep up.
'Yes but someone has to keep the filthy vermin in their rooms' Severus snapped his distaste for children showing greatly. Minerva sighed it was totally normal of him to say such things.
'Then would you join me for some tea?' Minerva asked although she didn't wait for an answer and had disappeared along the corridor that lead to the staff room. Severus followed rolling his eye's at Minerva's impatiens. The staff room was richly decorated with all four house colours and the candles flickered with light when they walking into the room. Severus stalked over to the deep green chair that was in the corner by the fireplace. Minerva sat in the green chair just across from him and started pouring the tea. Severus snatched up the paper lying on the low table and looked at it curiously. Minerva glanced up at him for a second. 'Anything interesting?' She said looking back down at what she was doing.
'Maybe' Severus said a faint flicker of a smile stretching across his normally cold emotionless face. Minerva snatched at the paper that only disappeared for a second before she clasped it much to her annoyance. Her body quickly changed and distorted into a small tabby cat with black rims around its sharp green eyes. The cat darted at the piece of paper and succeeded to knock the paper out of the potion's master's hand. Severus grabbed the cat pinning it against the leg and stroking its head. The cat hissed noisily at him and attempted to swipe its sharp claws at his pale almost white skin.
'Now, now no need to hiss at me' Severus daunted placing the cat on the arm of the chair and letting it move. Minerva morphed back into her human form and glared at Severus without moving from the arm of the chair until she darted towards the scrap of paper that had fallen onto the ground. Severus did not move as she grabbed the paper and pointed her wand out it when it appeared to be empty.
'Show yourself' she demanded her eyes fixed on the paper as nothing appeared.
'It's empty' Severus said as he stood up and moved across the room to the door. 'You where right rest would serve me better thank you' he said before disappearing from view his long bat like coat swishing behind him with a sharp snap. Minerva sighed and started to pack away before leaving the room herself the candles flickering out of existence as she left.
