#101: It is not a good idea to tell Professor Snape he takes himself too seriously. It is not a good idea to tell Professor McGonagall she takes herself too seriously.
If there's anything that can ruin a good science it is two angry professors looming over you.
"I will not ask, what you are doing, Jones." Snape drawled. "But I can-" McGonagall cut him off. "What Severus means to say is if detention is not punishment that will affect you, we will have to take more drastic measures. We have two options for you to complete your punishment tonight. I guarantee you won't like either. Do you understand?"
I couldn't help myself. I scoffed. "You two take yourselves wayy too seriously. Take a chill pill, seriously. I think Lupin has some chocolate, if you want some..."
"ENOUGH!" Snape exploded, raising his wand. McGonagall, also obviously infuriated, didn't make any moves to stop him, which was uncharacteristic of the rule keeping woman. The Potions professor had a white knuckle grip on his wand, and he turned it in his hand a bit, clenching and unclenching his jaw. His permanent scowl was deeper than I'd ever seen it before. "Fiftypoints from Gryffindor. And you will spend the remainder of your detention in Filch's office with whatever extra measures he deems necessary. I shall personally escort you."
Hex it. "Yes, sir." I said, trying to sound less sarcastic than I was feeling. The drama queen's outburst really just made me want to laugh.
He grabbed my arm not too gently and dragged me out of his classroom. McGonagall, under normal circumstances, would have stopped him, but she was simply standing, arms folded in impassive fury.
Lets just say I spent the rest of the hour twiddling my thumbs while handcuffed and chained to the floor.
