Minerva glanced over the rim of her spectacles, lips pursed.
“He started it,” Remus growled, glaring at Severus.
She turned her attention to Snape. “Well?”
Severus crossed his arms and sneered. “I would think a former Dark Arts professor would be knowledgeable in the ritualistic uses of salt.”
“You trapped me in the dungeon for three months!”
“It’s not my fault you failed to realise where you were traipsing about.”
Minerva sighed heavily. “I deeply regret that the two of you have… passed on, as it were—”
“Passed on? I’m bound to this Merlin-forsaken place and,” Severus pointed to his mangled neck, “I looked like I've been snogged by a bloody vampire!”
Remus snorted.
Severus sent him a scathing look. “At least I don’t look like the bad end of a Horcrux gone wrong.”
“That’s enough, both of you!”
“Don’t make me possess you,” Severus threatened.
“I wouldn't push it; she might have you exorcised.”
Minerva shook her head. “It might behoove you to become better acquainted with each other, since it seems you’ll be our ‘guests’ for an eon or two.”
“Joy,” Remus deadpanned.
“Agreed,” Severus lamented.
Minerva secretly anticipated the day when the restless spirits would disappear.
