A/N: This is sort of a spin-off from my new one-shot 'Making it Better', which I promise is not angsty at all despite the really dire title. This memo will make a whole lot more sense if you read that first. And yes, this is a terribly blatant attempt to get people to read my one-shots. At least you can't call me a liar ;)
MEMOS
Thank you for earlier.
I have no idea what you are talking about.
You know, in the Entrance Hall earlier on you –
No! Not in my memory anywhere. You must have been hallucinating.
But you –
Albus, when will you finally develop the ability to take a hint?
Why?
I don't want to talk about it.
Aww, is ickle Minnie embarrassed?
No!
I think she is.
I blatantly just said that I wasn't.
But you are, though.
No, I am not!
You are.
AM NOT!
I think you are.
And I think you are a dress-wearing, phoenix-bothering, beard-toting BUFFOON!
Thank you.
…
I do love the sound of your sighs of frustration.
At least someone enjoys them.
Why don't you want to talk about it?
Because if we do, one or, worse, both of the Weasley twins will pop up somehow and harass me for the rest of eternity.
Don't be ridiculous. You won't last for eternity. Nobody will, not even our own legacies.
Albus, I do not care for your philosophical ramblings at this precise moment in time.
You see, you talk like you hate me, but you didn't act like that this evening when you –
ALBUS!
Interrupting something, are we Professors?
Oh, Merlin.
A lover's tiff perhaps?
Since when did the love life of your teachers do anything other than revolt you?
Since we realised that you avoided our question (which was meant for comedic purposes only, before you think of giving us detention) by asking another question.
One, do not tell me that you are doing something for comedic purposes because that almost always DOES result in detention and several headaches or near heart attacks. Two, avoiding answering an impertinent question does not mean that I have something to hide!
We believe you, McGoogles. Plenty wouldn't.
Children! Why did I agree to work in a school?
To be with your lifelong love, Albus Dumbledore?
NO!
Minerva, I like these two. Can we keep them? Please?
No!
You know, McG, you really need to learn to say yes. What are you afraid of? Are you afraid that someone might actually get to like you? Are you afraid of the commitment?
Will you two stop it before I expel you? You are not therapists, I am not afraid of commitment, and NO WE CANNOT KEEP THEM, ALBUS! THEY ARE NOT DOGS!
I see. And how does that make you feel?
Just because I said they couldn't be therapists, that doesn't mean that you can be.
I feel like we may need the presence of a therapist very soon.
Agreed.
I am surrounded by idiots.
Again with the insults? Honestly, you are just asking to be hated.
She did give me a rather nice hug earlier, though.
A/N: Just to let you know, I will be going back over the earlier memos just to sort out typos and formatting, but the content will be exactly the same so don't worry; you won't have to traipse through them all again ;)
