Snape on vacation

The potions master was far too busy to leave. He tried to tell Dumbledore as much, but the blasted curmudgeon insisted .as the head master so eloquently put in one of his drunken rages, "the stupid arses at the bloody labor union have a hard time believing that you work so ceaselessly of your own free will." Of course, 5 years without a single leave of absence could confuse anyone. He simply made it his duty to teach and terrorize the student body, continuously. It was not his fault the magical teacher labor union was run by ill conseived, half brained monkeys with little to no intelligence.

Said labor union was sending him on a trip to Japan. He would be staying in the home of a , a powerful miko.
