SEVERUS SNAPE IS ABOUT TO BE FIRED AGAIN, BIG TIME

Professor MacGonagall rushed into the Great Hall one early Monday morning, every feature on her face livid with anger.

"All right, who did it?" she snapped so that the whole room could hear. "Who built a treehouse in the whomping willow and nailed a "No Girls Allowed" sign to its trunk?"

Snape cleared his throat and stood up, pushing his chair back hastily so that it clattered noisily to the floor.

"I-have to go check something. In my sock drawer," he muttered quickly. "See you all in class."

"WhoEVER it is," MacGonagall continued loudly, "left a mini-fridge, a box of cereal and a poster of Justin Timberlake inside, and they're NOT getting them back until they confess!"

The silence in the hall was broken only by the slam of a side-door and the sound of running footsteps fading away towards the dungeon.
