The Mark Had Burned
Who: Severus and Dumbledore When: August, just before the Quidditch World Cup Where: Hogwarts, in the Headmaster's Office Rating: TBD
Severus entered the school, even without an audience, he walked in such a manner that his robes billowed dramatically. If anyone had seen him leaving home or arriving outside of the school gates, he would have told them he was in a hurry to protest the hiring of the latest incompetent as an instructor for the DADA classes.
Pausing at the Gargoyles standing guard over the Headmaster's office, he snarled "jelly babies". As soon as the door opened, he was swiftly climbing the stairs.
