What is found on the napkins in the great hall, after breakfast, is truly eye-opening and quite astounding. Thank goodness the house elves try to recycle and this was intercepted.

Good morning my dear. Have a nice night last night?

What are you talking about Albus?

Come off it Minerva! You've had a smile on your face ever since you walked into the hall this morning. And whilst the scotch pancakes are incredibly delicious, I sincerely doubt that breakfast has pleased you this much...

Well, if you must know, I marked an exceptional paper last night from a Mr. Ronald Weasley. I now have hope that he won't be failing his transfiguration OWL.

Ah yes, the immense pleasure of 'marking an OWL paper', of course. I understand completely. Sure it wasn't a potions paper?

Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore! I cannot believe the insinuation that you just made concerning myself and Severus! That was completely out of order!

Albus, this is Severus Snape. Although what you say is the truth, I do not appreciate you interrogating Minerva about our personal business.

Sev! We said we weren't going to broadcast the news yet! What will this result in if the pupils find out?

Minerva, I can assure you that I will keep this information under my hat. This will not become common knowledge.

Thank you Albus.

Not a problem my dear, but can I request one favour? From both of you really.

Anything.

Try to keep it down at night. You never know when a student might have evaded their portraits for a night-time stroll, or they could be returning from a detention, if you understand my meaning.

Yes headmaster.

Very good, now those sausages look rather splendid! Until the next time Minerva, right now, my stomach is in dire need of food.

AN: If you like, could you leave me a review? Even if you don't really like it actually. Thanks xx
