It didn't take anything like brains to know that when a pamphlet decrying Muggleborns was circulated, Slytherin House was probably home to the perpetrator. Severus would have objected publicly to any such sentiment, of course, but there was no point in denying it within the privacy of their own circle. He didn't know who specifically was responsible for that incident (or whether it was connected with Frobisher's recent injuries, although he suspected), but there was no doubt in his mind that he knew what color ties they wore.
He also knew that these sorts of antics weren't likely to accomplish anything he wanted accomplished. There were a couple of Gryffindors he wouldn't have minded seeing pitched head-first down a staircase, but three of them had suddenly disappeared and he wasn't about to accept replacements. Entrenching their House's reputation for purism and blood-thirst wouldn't make his job any easier, and he sincerely doubted it would help boost the Dark Lord's caché within Hogwarts, not that he cared about that.
But it was the tack he was going to take with Carrow, who, whether or not she was responsible for any of this, was at least in a better position than he was to talk some sense into the little would-be Death Eater idiots he had in his charge. There was only so much he could say to them.
"Come in," he called out from his desk when he heard the knock at the door at the appointed time. He was bent over a pile of essays, as usual, his quill leaving red marks along the margins of someone's paper at impossibly close increments.
