Rating: Probably low.
As he approached the corner, he heard gasps, shrieks, and running feet. Severus sighed and steeled himself for what he might find on the other side of the stone wall. He'd had less and less influence over the sadists masquerading as members of his teaching staff - if he'd ever had any in the first place - and he was just as likely to come upon them exacting their own unique brands of discipline as he was students playing pranks on each other.
As it was, it turned out to be neither. When he rounded the corner, the hallway floor was awash in soapy liquid, and several sets of wet footprints led down the corridor away from the area, evidence of students who had fled the melee. Peeves was floating near the ceiling, and several scrub buckets were overturned on the floor underneath where he floated. As he began to rebuke the poltergeist, he caught sight of one victim who'd not managed to escape the deluge. Turning to her, he arched a brow. "Miss Abbott. A bit of a problem here, I see?"
