In the staffroom

[bluesqueak]

Pip felt restless. She wanted to hand this block in, to take her 
mind off her boredom at doing  another block tomorrow. Why should 
she be afraid of Snape? Getting up, she told Elkins and Cindy that 
she was going to ask Snape if she could not do the next block.

"Rather you than me", they said together, but Pip had an idea that 
Snape wouldn't refuse if there were other teachers listening.

She made her way to the staff room and knocked. There was no answer. 
She knocked again. Nothing.

Perhaps she could just leave the completed block in there? It was 
worth a try. She pushed the door ajar and peered inside – and a 
horrible scene met her eyes.

Snape and an FAQer were inside, alone. Snape was holding his robes 
above his knees.

Pip tried to shut the door quietly, but –

PIPSQUEAK!

Snape's face was twisted with fury as he dropped his robes quickly. 
Pip gulped.

"I just wondered if I could not do another block."

GET OUT! *OUT*! AND I WANT THAT NEXT BLOCK IN QUICKLY!

Pip left, before Snape could take any more points from Hufflepuff. 
She sprinted back upstairs.

"Did you get time off?"  Elkins asked as Pip joined them. "What's 
the matter?"

In a low whisper, Pip told them what she'd seen

Ok, Ok, so I'll do block 42001 – 43000.
