"Never thought I'd say it," George announced softly, "but I think we need to send flowers and a thank-you note to Snape for this."

His twin nodded in solemn, shocked, agreement.


Thank You Professor Snape

Potions Master and Hogwarts Professor Severus Snape walked into his office the day after the disastrous dueling club to find his desk covered in flowers, small gifts and cards.

"What in Merlin's name is this!?"

Grabbing the first one off the pile, Snape opened the card and began to read

Dear Professor Snape,

Thank you for teaching Lockhart a lesson yesterday. You rocked!

Cedric Diggory

Placing a few flower arrangements aside, the Potions Master opened another card

Dear Professor,

Thanks for the laugh during the dueling club!

Blaise Zabini

Glancing at the candy boxes, he noticed another note

Thank you so much Professor!

Rolling his eyes, Severus stacked and carried the boxes of sweets into his quarters. Returning to his desk, he opened another card, which sprayed green and silver confetti upon him opening it.

To Our Most Esteemed, and intelligent, Potions Professor,

We are, very proud, of your victory, yesterday at the, dueling club. Thank you very much, for the amusing show.

Thankful,

Gred and Forge
