AH! I'm sorry for my lack of author's note in the last chapter! I was in a rush! It makes me really sad that I didn't give a note on that one, too. That was like.. my favorite chapter... no, I lied. Second to favorite bit I've written so far! -tears-

SECOND YEAR

McGonagall

Dumbledore

Sprout

Slughorn

Flitwick

Huzzah! A new year!

12 new Gryffindors, can you believe it?

Yes, all very exciting. Large group this year all around. What was it? 40 new students?

Around there. By the way, no more jokes at opening feast, please. You scare the first years.

They just didn't understand the joke.

I wonder why.

Oh, you're just being sour because the joke was about you.

So what if I am? Albus has no right to attempt to humiliate me in front of the entire school!

It was all in fun and will soon be forgotten.

I doubt that your version of my injury received last year will 'soon be forgotten'. And I don't think Mr. Lupin appreciated your joke either!

He laughed.

To fit in! You didn't see him afterwards?

I was a bit to preoccupied with food.

Yes, the house elves chose the best time to serve dinner, didn't they?

Indeed.

Now, to pay for what you did, guess what I'm going to have you do!

Uh oh…

That's right! You get to do ALL the paperwork for the school for the next week!

Ouch! Harsh.

NOOO!!

Don't do the crime if you can't do the time.

Surely you don't mean ALL of it!

Of course I do! As a matter a fact, I'll even send Misters Black and Potter to give you said paperwork, and you can get started!

AH! PASSWORD!!

Oh, don't worry. I'll tell them what it is.

You know you can be very cruel, Minerva.

I could be worse, believe me!

I've no doubt you could be worse, but you're still being cruel right now.

Now you're just trying to keep me from flagging down Potter and Black! Hey! There they go! Excuse me; I have an errand to have someone run for me!

Pomona!

Don't you dare, Albus!

I wouldn't help anyway. Sorry, Albus. I can't stand paperwork! Sitting at a desk again. Gross.

Hogwarts is slowly turning against me!

Reason number - what now? - on why you shouldn't upset your deputy.

Reason 329.

You'd think you'd have learned. After all, that list only started off with the basic 15, then you came along…

What's life without aggravating people?

Peaceful.

Try boring.

You get through all that paperwork for the week and then tell me how you think life would be.

Speaking of paperwork, I believe Minerva's errand runners are here, so goodnight!

Have fun!

With what?

Paperwork.

Albus never does paperwork, what are you talking about?

Minerva didn't take kindly to the story he shared during the feast and now he's paying for it.

For how long?

A week.

The school is doomed. Albus is going to lose half the things he's supposed to turn in! We all know how unorganized he is.

I'm sure he won't be doing the paperwork all week. Just until he makes a sincere apology to Minerva.

Oh, well in that case he'll crack in two days.

And she knows it.

I still don't understand how she gets all that paperwork done plus grading and have time left over. It makes no sense.

It's called organization and not having five minute periods throughout the day to eat crystallized pineapple.

Oh, well she really should, because that stuff is delicious.

Men.

What's wrong with them?

Never mind, Horace. Good luck with classes tomorrow!

Same to you!

Anyway, about the trial. I'm on probation, I was the last chapter too. So I'm not getting paid until I'm off probation. Luckily, Madam Rosmerta reads fanfiction (yes, I know its wierd and a little creepy...) and she likes this one! She's offered me shelter from McGonagall, so I can write in the Three Broomsticks! YAY! Really nice place. AND she's let me have control of the jukebox! MUAHAHAHAAA! ITS ALL MINE! -puts on Back in Black- (that song won't get out of my head! "YES I'M BBBAAAAaaaaAAACK! BBBAAAAAAaaaAAAAACK!") NO!! BREAKS OVER! Must run!

Reviews will save my sanity! ...wait... I lost that a long time ago... uhmm... EMbarrasing...

Review anyway!
