Notes From the Staff Room ~ by EmBot

Entry #4 - The Staff is Bored
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

12:30 PM

Hello. Harry again. I have once again concealed myself very well within the staff roo--Oh, hi, Professor Lupin...I'm doing well, how about you?...that's good...see you later, then.--Like I said, I have concealed myself well within the staff room and am watching the teachers for signs of insani--boredom. And bored is what they all appear to be. Here is what everybody is currently doing:

Dumbledore: Making a straw sculpture, and a rather ugly one at that.

McGonagall: Grading Papers.

Flitwick: Absently making things fly across the room.

Sprout and Hooch: Sprout says "What do you wanna do?" Hooch replies with "I dunno. What do you wanna do?" Sprout replies: "I dunno. What do you wanna do?" and the cycle goes on and on...

Lupin: Flipping through another issue of Popular Mechanics.

Vector: Doing her nails

Hagrid: Outside window, trying to get someone to let him in...fat chance of that...

Snape and Sinistra: Sitting on couch, playing a dull game of I Spy. Snape is losing, if you can lose that game.

And that is everybody who is currently residing in the staff room. This is so boring, I'm almost tempted to get up and do a tap dance for everybody, singing Eye of the Tiger. But, I'm afraid that I shall have to restrain myself. I could--

Was interrupted by a most disturbing sight of Severus Snape and Natalia Sinistra suddenly deciding to have a snog-fest on the couch. They are--ew. NASTY. People should not be allowed to do that in public. BAD MENTAL IMAGES.--being watched by the staff who seems mildly interested. Do they not know that their hero is down here, under an end table, now scarred for life? Can they not sense the pain they have caused me? I think I might have to cry. Snape begins to get under Sinistra's shirt when suddenly Dumbledore jumps up clapping his hands together loudly and yelling "Let's order some food!" They spring apart, not looking embarrassed in the least. In fact...everyone still looks bored! WHAT IS WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE?!

McGonagall: What should we order? (shoots Snape and Sinistra a tentative glance)

Flitwick: Well, pizza, of course. But no extra cheese this time. Last time we got extra cheese, I had to drink a gallon of prune juice in order to--

Snape: (wincing) Stop there. Please.

(Great. Now I'm scarred even more. Thanks, Professor F. Thanks a lot.)

Vector: How about sausage and mushroom?

Dumbledore: Sounds good to me. Who's going to go get them?

SS: Not me! I think Minerva should get them this time.

MM: I think we should vote.

(tallies votes)

MM: All right that's 5 for me, and 6 for Snape.

SS: That's 11 votes! There are only 9 people out here.

AD: No...Hagrid is outside.

Hagrid: (waving arms and shouting) Could yeh let me in?!

SS: (ignores him) That makes 10.

Sinistra: I suppose Harry Potter makes it 11.

SS: He doesn't count!

(Oh no. I've been found out. Must put on invisibility cloak.)

NS: Does he think we don't know he's there?

SS: (stepping in front of her) Just don't make any sudden movements. (turns around) All right, I'll go.

NS: I'll go too.

LV: As a matter of fact, maybe I'll go too.

FF: Um...me too.

AD: (runs towards door) What the hey? Let's all go.

SS: (calling) I can't fit you all in my van!

RH: Could yeh PLEASE let me in?

This concludes Entry #4 of February the 15.
