Laptop Come Staffroom
"Oi, Min!" came the voice of Rolanda Hooch. Minerva looked up, expecting to see Ro waving a new scarf or whatever that she had gotten in Hogsmeade, but instead saw Ro running towards her, holding a metal thing tightly in her arms. Ro sat down next to her, out of breath, and said, "Look! It's a toplap!" excitedly, like she had just announced that Rita Skeeter had been fired. She wished. "A what?" she asked, looking first at her friend's excited face, then at the metal thing, which Ro had just opened. "It's a toplap. It's elektonic! You can play games and research stuff on it!" Minerva just stared at her. "I think I know what she means," said Emma Moxie, the Muggle Studies teacher that had just come in the room and was now looking at the 'toplap'. "She means a laptop," Emma explained. "It's a type of portable computer. It's electronic, not elektonic, and she's right, you can play games and research stuff on it." "OK…" said Minerva, sounding minorly disturbed. "And your point is…..?" Ro didn't answer. Instead she clicked on Internet Explorer. When that came up, she typed in, . Ro looked up and grinned. "I read about this in some book. It's a website dedicated to us! The wizarding world!" "Ok….." said Minerva, still slightly doubtful of her friend's sanity. "Ooooooooh, Min, look at this!" she said, grinning like a Cheshire Cat. Minerva looked. "So?" she asked. "Look!" Ro screamed, pointing at something. Minerva looked again, and this time she saw what her friend was trying to point out. She gasped. Then she cracked up. Albus entered the staffroom. "What's wrong?" he asked anxiously, looking at his Deputy Headmistress who was bent over at the waist, and was laughing like crazy. "Look," said Ro, pointing at the screen. "Dumbledore's GAY??" he read aloud. "What the…." He murmured. Minerva stopped cracking up, and sat up. She put on her most furious face, and… "Is this TRUE, Albus Dumbledore?? After 49 years of marriage, you're GAY??" Albus looked at his wife's furious face, and decided there was only one proper response to that: he kissed her. "Do you have to do that in front of me?" asked Ro, backing away. "No," Albus said, looking at his now pacified wife. "But it seemed like a good response."
