Who: Spencer and William When: Friday, just before dinnertime Where: The library What: Oh shit.
"Everyone out," William repeated, ushering the lingering students toward the door. He had a dozen or so extremely reluctant fourth-years, which he suspected meant there was an exam coming up soon in someone's class. He could only imagine the insanity once OWL and NEWT testing time came around.
"That includes everyone in the back as well," he called, raising his voice slightly toward the Muggle literature section, where he'd seen Duncan and Rothwell sneak off to kiss earlier. If they thought he was going to lock them in here for an hour unattended, they were gravely mistaken.
The last few students trickled out, and William turned to Spencer with a smile. "Loitering Herbology professors don't get a free pass either," he said, pulling out his wand to lock the doors. "Don't think you're going to swipe the November issue of Plants in Peril before I've gotten to read it. I'm onto your cunning Slytherin plan."
