Summary: Terry hosts the first Professor's Night of the new term.
Terry had never been so glad for Friday as he was tonight. He'd forgotten how torturous the first week back after a break was. It was as if the two weeks off had made the students completely forget everything they'd learned the previous term. He'd even resorted to that pop test for his upper years, just to see what they remembered from before Christmas, and what he'd have to go over again. He hated backtracking, so the kids would have to deal with double the work if they were too far behind. He'd try his hand at grading those tonight, and hopefully he wouldn't end up wanting to kill himself.
The House Elves were well used to his little grading parties, and there was a substantial amount of food and drinks around, including a few bottles of wine and two bottles of rather fine brandy. He had a feeling they were going to need all of it, if the others' week had gone as his had. There were times when he had to remember that he loved teaching, really, and the kids. Most of the time. When they weren't acting as if all the knowledge had drained from their heads.
Because he never knew how many people would show up he'd transfigured a couple extra sofas and chairs, and arranged them around his sitting room, grateful that it was actually larger than necessary. Maybe the castle knew he liked to hold these things, and considered them good for the professors' morale. In any case, there would be more than enough room even if extra people showed up.
