REMUS LUPIN EATS THE GOVERNMENT CHEESE

"This is actually not that bad," Remus said as he munched on a large wheel of bright yellow cheese. A crate labeled "Surplus" stood open beside him. He paused to pick a dubious fleck of brown from the rind.

"Being poor isn't actually that bad, when you consider you get government surplus every Friday," he muttered as he plowed through a second wheel. "Although by the time I get it, it's quite frankly past its prime."

Snape suddenly strode into the teacher's lounge, toting a basketful of otters, six Abba records and a large inflatable couch.

Spotting Lupin seated in front of the blazing fire, he stopped short, then threw the otters down in frustration.

"Great!" he yelled. "Just GREAT! I was about to do the most unbelievably funny Snape Vignette EVER, and you ruined it with your cheese story! Apparently this is no longer the Snape Vignettes, it's the idiot Cheese Vignettes! Well hooray for you, Loopy, you ruined it! Happy now?"

He stomped off in a huff. The otters, left to their own devices, immediately raided the box of surplus cheese.
