Re: Al, Severus?
Severus was quieter than an owl at swooping in on Al. Al didn't even hear him coming until something yanked on his cloak hood and he turned to see what it was. Peeves? No, Severus!
"Hi!" Al beamed, displaying his usual wide smile at the sight of Severus. He was beginning to wonder why he was being ignored so well by all the busy people rushing back and forth, but yes, the invisibility cloak explained it. How convenient.
"Um." Al lifted the cloak hem just enough to flash a glimpse of muddy socks and knobby knees. "It's cold without it," he reasoned. "Jamie got me out of bed and I really need to get back to the house and get dressed before work."
