Master ListSummary: Edward Elric from various points of view.
Chapter 04: Severus Snape
The school librarian goes on a paid vacation at the beginning of the year and another is ready to fill her spot within the same hour? Does no one find this the least bit out of the ordinary? Wizarding librarians have a difficult job, despite what some people may assume, which explains why it should have taken Headmaster more than two hours to find replacement.
Excuse me, a competent replacement. Edward Elric is obviously much too young to have received substantial training. He's 19, for god's sakes! And how come there are no records of him before he 'magically' signed up for the job?
And why does he have no wand? At his induction and after every time we've seen him afterward, he's been wandless; not even a telltale nub in the back pocket. That which leads me to believe that he is, in fact, a squib. If he is, indeed, a squib, he should therefore be unsuitable for the librarian post. I tried confronting Albus about this, but all he did was smile and say, "Severus, it'd be better for us all if the matter was dropped." in a tone that made you think he was actually serious before he goes and ruins it by twinkling that damn eye of his.
The Dark Lord is back and he will have constant spies, both at the ministry and at Hogwarts. Perhaps Albus is becoming senile in his old age, but I, for one, do not trust any new staff member until I personally check them out.
Speaking of which, Madam Pomfrey has asked me to brew liberal amounts of a very powerful pain-killing potion, the type used for long and intense surgeries, mentioning that it was for one, Mr. Elric.
Let's say that curiosity burned and tortured the cat to a crisp.
