Staffroom 6:00 pm
"Ah, now that everyone is here we can start" said Dumbledore. He and all of his heads of house were in the staffroom for a surprise meeting he had called for. "Albus what have you called us here for, I have papers to mark'' Severus Snape said irritably. There were murmurs around the table as the other heads agreed. "Alas, Severus it has come to my attention that Voldemort," Dumbledore paused as they flinched, "may be using the students as spies."
Snape glared at the other three as they glanced to him as if his house could the only possible choice for having spies. "Let me remind you Minerva, that rats can be everywhere." The Scott flinched as she was reminded of the traitor Peter Pettigrew. "Now, now Severus my boy I'm sure no one meant to imply that your snakes were the only ones capable of having spies. Did they?" questioned Albus with a stern look toward the other heads. "Of course not Severus, we apologize." squeaked Filius Flitwick. Pomona Sprout ducked her head and murmured an apology to Severus. Minerva's head was high as she said her I'm sorry. For his part, Severus inclined his head just slightly in acceptance.
Dumbledore smiled slightly as he watched their exchange. " I believe though, that I have come up with a solution to this" Albus stated. The four waited for him to continue until they realized he wouldn't go on unless one of them asked him what his plan was. Finally Minerva let out a gusty sigh and said "Well go on, tell us what this solution is…". Dumbledore's eyes sparkled as he started telling them. "As much as I hate to invade the children's privacy I believe this to be the only way. I thought that if we observed them while in their common rooms we might be able to uncover some of His spies." Right away there were protests to his idea. Even Severus could not be totally indifferent. "Albus," Minerva started, "firstly, that would be an awful invasion of privacy and secondly, what would happen if someone found out, hmm?" "Disaster, that's what will happen" Severus said crossly. "Not only will we all be fired, but we will never be wanted for teaching positions again" he continued. "Oh, I don't think this is a good idea Albus" said Pomona hesitantly. Filius stared at Albus for a moment and said "How would we even go about doing this Albus?"
Albus opened his mouth to respond but had to stop as the others turned to Filius as if to question his sanity. "Filius are you cra-"Filius cut them off and said strongly "I believe that you should let Albus answer my question." All of them but Severus and Albus ducked their heads, silenced for the moment. "Good. You may continue Albus." "Thank you Filius. Now as I was about to say, we would be doing this at night perhaps after dinner. We would of course be disillusioned and silenced so that no one may see or hear us" said Dumbledore.
By now the meeting had been going on for almost an hour, so after maybe another thirty minutes of arguing and persuading Albus finally got them to agree to do it however reluctantly.
