Minerva! Its only the first week of school and I'm already having problems with your house.
Noooo! Please do NOT tell me I have to deal with troublemakers this early!
Ok, I won't TELL you….
Pomona!
I didn't say anything!
But you implied.
Well, while I'm implying, I'll take the liberty of implying that two of your house, for the sake of the conversation, let's call them James Potter and Sirius Black, got the bright idea of having a mud fight in the middle of class.
Oh, goody. I have them in class next.
Oooo! Have fun!
Yeah. Thanks.
WHY me?
What happened now?
Potter and Black! That's what happened!
They seem to have adjusted very well…
They know our names! They've adjusted so well so fast it's a little frightening.
How do you know they know our names?
They took the liberty of addressing me as 'Minerva' instead of the preferred 'Professor.'
Hold on; give me a second to laugh so I can write legibly.
I don't find this very amusing, Pomona! It won't be long before others follow suite! How will I retain order in my classroom then?
What's happened?
It seems out new trouble makers have been making friends in the upper years and learning things first years normally don't.
Such as?
First names.
Really? Well, I think it's fantastic that they're making friends who will help them out.
You call friends people who give you ideas to disrespect teachers fantastic?
Ohhh. Is THAT what happened? I must say, they truly are showing their Gryffindor bravery! Calling you 'Minerva' on their second class with you!
I'm surrounded by enemies!
Oh, come on, Minerva!
…
Minerva?
…
I do believe she left.
Sad! I was hoping to ask what else they did!
What do you mean, what else?
Well surely they did something else. She wouldn't get that upset over first name terms. That's happened before.
Bullocks. Now I want to know too, Pomona!
Does anyone know any particular reason why Minerva is muttering to herself?
Oooo! It must be worse than I though. Excuse me, gentlemen! I have so gossiping to do!
What was that about?
Misters Potter and Black thought it'd be entertaining to start calling teachers by their first name.
Is that so?
Oh no, I'll get back to you later, Albus! It just so happens that Mr. Potter and Mr. Black are in my class now and… MR. POTTER LET THAT POOR GIRL DOWN!
…I'll ask later?
Filius! What happened with the first years today?
Why do you ask?
Because I just found Lily Evans stomping around the ladies' room saying she can't wait to learn some curses….
Oh. That. Well, I was teaching the students levitating charms, like I always start them with. James Potter was doing very well, and he decided to try levitating a person. I believe he was aiming for Mr. Black, but he missed…
I don't think a student would get so upset over being levitated for a few seconds on accident…
The class was with Slytherins, and it was less than a few seconds. Potter became so shocked he lost focus and she fell face first to the floor.
Poor girl!
STUBBORN girl. Potter tried apologizing afterwards and she hissed something and walked away… more like stormed away, actually.
If there's one thing I hate its rivalries within a House! Why mine?
People like picking on your House, I guess.
They ought to stop. Its giving me more wrinkles than necessary.
GUESS WHAT!!
WHAT?
I HAVE BAD NEWS!!
I DON'T WANT TO HEAR IT!
Well then, you better shut you're book.
With pleasure.
What happened, Albus?
Tom Riddle has decided to come back into society!
…
I know! Horrible, isn't it?
You know this how?
He just owled me for an interview!
…You're planning on telling Minerva, correct?
Not a chance!
She should have warning!
That would ruin the fun!
I think she's had enough 'fun' with Mr. Riddle!
Filius, do you honestly think I'm that cruel? Of couse she'll know he's coming! …Now who should I get to tell her that? … Filius! My right-hand man!
No!
sigh Fine. I'm off to go have my eardrums burst. When I'm deaf, I'll have you to thank!
You are so bad at trying to make people feel guilty!
Only on paper!
What's happened?
Oh nothing much…
Filius… you aren't good at lying, even on paper.
Tom Riddle's coming here for an interview!
NO! You're joking! Tell me you're joking, Filius!
Believe me, I wish I could.
POPPY!!
Poppy?
She's going to need to get quite a few things ready.
Such as?
Potions to speed up the healing of Albus's eardrums, by the sound of it.
…Isn't your office a floor above Minerva's?
Yup.
I'LL get Poppy, you help Albus out of there.
Let me find earplugs first, she's still screaming…
Pomona, you're a witch!
I'm using the earplugs AND magic.
JUST GO SAVE ALBUS!
Alright!
