Poppy Pomfrey, Pomona Sprout, Rolanda Hooch, Rebeus Hagrid, and Filius Flitwick were stumbling home from the Three Broomsticks. Filius, who was the closest to being sober, led the way, tripping over his own feet and laughing. Hagrid was getting emotional over the death of an animal, Rolanda patting his arm soothingly. Poppy and Pomona were giggling over the latest gossip.
They reached the castle to find a disproving Minerva McGonagall, a sneering Severus Snape, and a cheery Albus Dumbeldore. Shaking her head, Minerva led Pomona, Poppy, and Rolanda to their rooms.
Seveus took Filius to his and Albus took Hagrid to his hut. Hagrid sobs were less violent and more hiccupy with an occasional sniffle. Albus gently led the half-giant to the couch and sat him down. The headmaster being fixing tea and muttered wordsof comfort, though he was exasperated. Note to self: never let those five out with each other., he thought.
Filius cracked jokes that made no sense. "Hey, Sevy!" Severus gritted his teeth and snapped, "What is it?" "Why did the Boggart cross the road?" "Why?" "To get a love potion!" The head of Ravenclaw laughed hysterically. Severus snarled and rubbed his temples. Note to self: never let those five out with each other.
"So Minnie, is it true you like Albus?" Poppy said with a giggle. Minerva didn't respond and continued towards the ward to drop the nurse off. "Miiiiiiinnniiiieeeee!" Pomona shrieked. The Scottish woman just sighed. "Albus and Minnie sittin' in a tree! K-i-s-s-i-n-g!" Rolanda sang. Minerva rolled her eyes and tried to hide a blush. Note to self: never let those five out with each other.
