psocopteraAfter boring, pointless morning, rushed through benefits plan stuff in afternoon. I guess some new hires probably already know all about 403(b)s and really needed to know that quality will be the pole star that guides us.
Afternoon session bad poetry:
Flitwick falls on the first of February
a fact Fudge says in full seriousness at the memorial service
and is surprised when the audience snickers.
They can't help it, all the Fs,
picturing the small fellow sputtering
although his actual death, of course
is no laughing matter,
suffocated,
a fistful of feathers stuffed down his throat
when the Death Eater children
finally showed themselves.
They finished with Flitwick;
they started with Sinistra, pushed her off her tower
to the icy flagstones below. Fudge gets her
name wrong when he reads them off.
The addition of the gryphon tears
would have been harmless, were it not for
the spilled squid ink and the bogie
Neville had dropped in in a moment of inattention.
The resulting conflagration
left him without much of a nose to speak of
which Snape considered justice
although Madame Pomfrey though she might eventually grow it back.
Meanwhile, he wears a nose made of silver
like Tycho Brahe; it has ironically made him
more handsome and more daring.
Snape hopes his bladder will burst during one of Dumbledore's speeches.
When Draco finally leaves
Dumbledore is waiting on the steps
with a copy of his transcript
just like he was any other student
leaving to seek employment.
Draco knows
that Dumbledore knows
that he is leaving to join Voldemort
and so the transcript is pointless at best.
What Dumbledore doesn't know
is that Draco is fleeing so that he doesn't have to witness
what the other young Death Eaters have planned for the teaching staff,
and the list of teachers' names on his transcript
breaks his heart.
