Amiable Dorsai:
Yeah, he says that.  Might even be true.  Might even have been able to
keep both twins from catching him.  Alright, Snape gets a doughnut.

Amiable Dorsai:
Eh, Slughorn would have done as much.  Or Filch.  No doughnut.

Amiable Dorsai:
Yeeaaaaah...  OK.  Assuming the various "Snape deliberately delayed
the call for help" theories are false, Snape gets some more fried pastry.

With a cup of coffee, because he kept his head.

Amiable Dorsai:
I don't know as I'd care to hang with either of them at a party.  I'd
be more likely to try and chat up Hermione.  

The problem with having Snape guard my back is that I'd never be sure
I didn't need someone to guard my back from *him*.

I hope he likes the doughnuts; Harry made them.
