NOTE: Forgot to add that some of the chapters, or part of a chapter, will be written in journal format (from the journal that Albus gave Severus). All entries for the journal will be in italics. Any confusion, PM me.
Chapter 2 – Appease

Well, you are fireproof, waterproof, spell proof, hex proof, non-transfigurable…
I really have no idea what to do with you.
Whilst on my way back to my quarters, it dawned on me that the Headmaster would have ensured a way to check up on his orders: making sure I have written in you. However, it will not happen daily as the old coot wishes – he declines to see that I am a busy man, and have priorities exceeding that of a damnable journal!
Said coot, likely sipping that bloody tea – you really are going to die of a heart attack with the amounts of sugar you deem necessary to poison Earl Grey with – and eating those god forsaken lemon drops. I am sure this little gag has you bouncing on your rocker with glee. I, however, am yet to find the amusement.
Though, since you believe this process is crucial, I hereby declare anything written in this journal cannot be held against my person (nor my position as Professor) – no matter how much disdain and sarcasm I ooze to cause one discomfort.
I do pray that you give up these gimmicks soon, as much fun as the last duelling club was, I do not wish to end up dead – or in Azkaban.
