Prompt: Poppy Pomfrey takes VERY good care of her charges. How good, exactly?
Word count: 200
Rating: PG

"It's about Mr Malfoy's recent stay in the infirmary, Poppy."

The headmaster's voice was as mild as ever, but Madam Pomfrey felt distinctly uncomfortable. She'd known she might be called upon to explain herself, and while she felt no shame for what she'd done -- she'd simply had to have it -- she wasn't sure she could make Albus understand. Given his strict standards, she feared he would take a decidedly dim view of the affair.

"I needed it, Albus. He needed it. And I haven't had any in so long. It's not as if this has happened since. . .well, since I had Severus as a student ( ... )

Great twist ending! Definitely had me laughing at my own delightful dirty mind...

Thanks! I can't help but think that Poppy hears the subtext, too /g/

A ha ha, this is delightful!

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it.

Hee! Very cute!

Thanks! Love your icon, btw. It could me be (if I changed my name to Lisa. And were perfectly nice).

LMAO! You're a genious! Making everybody think it's something completely inappropriate and then it turns out to be really mundane. The srot of thing that might happen at any workplace anywhere, but we never really see the little every-day things in fandom. Like this. A simpel little local policy on ordering supplies. I even went so far as to wonder exactly what that 'ointment' might contain. I love!

kellychambliss July 26 2009, 20:04:21 UTC

/g/ Thanks; I love the "every-day" touches about Hogwarts, too (although I'm not really sure why Albus would object to credit!)

moreteadk July 28 2009, 04:06:14 UTC

Maybe he's had bad experienced with lending someone money? Or oh! He had a credit card once and Minerva had to eventually confiscate it.

marginaliana July 26 2009, 13:12:33 UTC

Ahaha, you really had me going!

kellychambliss July 26 2009, 20:06:02 UTC

Thanks! I suspect Albus had a few moments of doubt, too.

gmth July 26 2009, 14:30:45 UTC

Ahahaha, awesome. You had me going there. :-)

kellychambliss July 26 2009, 20:09:55 UTC

Thanks /g/ It's a little scary (or something) how well the language lends itself to this sort of thing. . .

/g/ Of course, there could be a lot that Poppy isn't telling ol' Albus. . .

Thanks for commenting.
