The Day Everything Was Very Dull On Hogwarts, With The Exception Of Lupin
On a dull afternoon, people do dull things. Dull people do even more dull things then they usually do.
Professor Flitwick was busying himself with his stamp-collection, Professor McGonagall was humming while she was cleaning the House Cup and Professor Dumbledore was sorting out his socks.
But an afternoon is never dull when your name is Remus Lupin.
No, Professor Remus Lupin had the time of his life, on this for other people so unusually dull and boring afternoon.
'Heeeeeeeing, Heeeeeeeeeeing. Uuuu! U-uuu!'
Let's see what the Professor is up to.
Remus Lupin was sitting cross-legged on the floor in his study, and that was how Snape found him, making voices and sounds, all the while playing with a chipped tea mug and a small log.
'Watch it there, I was going to cross the street, you Mr In-Your-Lorry!' Lupin made the mug say, making little movements with it. 'Sorry, Mr Automobile, I didn't see you!' Lupin made the log say, moving it in the same way as he had moved the mug.
Snape coughed, and Lupin finally looked up. 'Oh, hello there, Severus!' he said innocently, not even trying to hide the two objects of his so obvious delight.
'I've come to bring back the book you had lend me,' Snape said stiffly, all the while attempting not to look at Lupin's toys.
'Ah, yes, put it on my desk, would you?' Lupin asked, as if it was the most natural thing in the world for him to sit on the floor like that. Snape did as he was asked and quickly backed away, out of the office, only to hear a small 'thank you' as he reached the stairs back to the first floor.
'Oh, Professor Snape,' said Harry Potter, who was just making his way up. 'Is Professor Lupin in his office?'
'Yes, he is,' answered Snape, finding himself again. 'But I must warn you: he has gone insane. He is playing with a mug and a log.'
'Oooooh,' said Harry Potter, his eyes shining, his face bright with excitement, 'now I can ask him if I can join in! My pen case would be a perfect bus!'
Snape, understandably, locked himself in, in his office, for the remainder of the day.
