The Hogwarts staff walked wearily into the staffroom one fine Saturday morning in February. They all knew Dumbledore would be waiting for them. They weren't worried about that, no. They were worried about WHAT he would make them do when they got there. In the past he had made them attempt yoga, break dancing(Severus had actually managed to break his arm...amazing), karaoke, and other embarrassing things. It was all apart of his plan to get the staff to "work together better". So naturally, they were all being very cautious.
Dumbledore: Everyone come in and take a seat. This * he gestures toward a strikingly beautiful blonde with ash-blue eyes* is Mary McDollen. She specializes in getting large groups to work together.
Everyone except Hagrid groans, sighs, huffs, rolls eyes, (and in Poppy's case) takes a headache potion.
Dumbledore glares warningly at everyone to shut them up. Satisfied he gestures for McDollen to speak.
Mary McDollen: Like Professor Dumbledore...*gets cut off by Dumbledore*
Dumbledore: Call me Albus.
At this Mcgonagall looks resentful and rolls her eyes, much to the amusement of Snape.
McDollen: Right! Like Albus said, I'm here to get you people to understand each other better. So, why don't we all make name tags for ourselves. That way I won't get any of your names screwed up.
With that she starts handing out slips of paper and muggle markers.
Minerva rolled her eyes and leaned over to whisper something to Rolanda Hooch.
Mcgonagall: Is she kidding!?! Name tags! What are we four!?! shoots a resentful look at McDollen*
Rolanda looks at Minerva's resentful face, then to where to McDollen and Dumbledore appear to be flirting, then back to Minerva's face. Realization hit her as she bursts out laughing.
McDollen: Ladies, you're supposed to be making your name tags not gossiping. she shoots a glare at both women*
Rolanda falls off her chair laughing while Minerva blushes slightly. Returning McDollen's glare with a little more anger she picks up a marker.
Mcgonagall: *icily* Fine.
McDollen backs off slightly while still glaring at Minerva. She looks around at the rest of the professors. All of them (with the exception of Rolanda who is still on the floor laughing and Severus Snape who has somehow managed to make his name tag say "Hi my name is Severus. I absolutely loathe you.) are looking at either her or Minerva nervously.
McDollen: Why don't we start the first exercise?
