Thunderous Happenings!

Some disturbing things have gone on in the last several days. As we contemplate these disturbing things, I think that we would do well to remember that appearances can be deceiving, and that a story related by a number of people will have a proportionate number of variations

Professor, I think "tea and cookies" sounds quite threatening.

I'm just saying.

Am I really going to get in trouble for breaking up with Hannah?

[pomonasprout]

Who you involve yourself with romantically is none of my business, Mr Smith, so long as nobody gets hurt. Similarly, aside from tidying up general debris, breakups are none of my business.

I do not intend to pry. It simply occurred to me that you might profit from a pleasant hour or so away from your current- situation.

Also, there are some few academic matters I must discuss with you.

Believe me when I say that these cookies are completely harmless... Unless you have some kind of jam allergy?

[zanyzacharias]

Oh, okay. I wasn't sure if, as a woman, you felt offended on Hannah's behalf. Or since Hannah's a prefect... I'm not making sense.

I think I haven't been doing bad lately, academically.

Sure, whenever's alright. I haven't any allergies, no.

[pomonasprout]

You're not particularly making sense, no, but that's all right at the moment.

The quality of your work is not a problem. I'm rather pleased with it on the whole. In fact, I may have a small project for you; we can discuss details in person.

I do hope you've added arsenic to those cookies, Professor Sprout.

He does deserve the very best, after all.

That is a dreadful thing to say, Miss Bones.

I appreciate that you're being so supportive of Miss Abbott, but such vitriol is unbecoming of you.

Eloise agrees with Susan, Professor. It's about time the males of the school stopped treating the Hufflepuff women so shabbily.

[pomonasprout]

That may be, Miss Midgen. However, I do not feel that it is appropriate to scapegoat any one male.
