Recipient: velvetmouse
Prompt: Snape. McGonagall. Anchovies. Honey. And a student's misunderstanding of a spell. Must be G rated.
Word Count Umm ... 285. (I never really got the hang of drabbles.)
Rating: G

At first, Severus hadn’t minded that the Headmistress seemed to be channeling the spirit of her predecessor. The old Minerva McGonagall would have pressed charges for Professor Dumbledore’s murder, even though Dumbledore had asked him to do it; the new one merely listened to his story in silence and remarked that Hogwarts would always give shelter to those in trouble.

He changed his mind less than a week after the beginning of the new term, when he encountered Cathy Macmillan and her execrable attempt at a Cake-Frosting Potion. She said she was attempting buttercream with a note of honey, but both the cooking spells and the frosting had gone ( ... )

Oh my god! That is brilliant, amusing, and oddly plausible. I love how you included everything from the prompt without making it even slightly dirty... I would have had trouble keeping it clean, let alone making into such a funny and somehow moving extra-long drabble. :)

Well, I have to say I was very relieved to get one with a must-be-G-rated stipulation, as I can't write smut to save my life. Thanks to everyone who has read and commented, BTW!

Am I just weird or was this as quietly sad as it was funny?

No, I found it a bit sad too. Mostly the idea that Minerva is so shattered by Albus' death that she slowly ceases to exist as herself.
