Author's summary: It's 1985, and Hogwarts's most junior (permanent) faculty member may have slightly underestimated his influence on his admiring students. ...No, seriously. It's, like, a problem.
Author's warnings: approximately canon-typical levels of offscreen violence, academic and House politics.

Quote:
“Of course I can do it,” Severus said calmly, and sipped his coffee. He clarified, “Just not in any way you’ll approve. Consider yourself warned. Do you want me to proceed?”

“What are you going to do?” she demanded, alarmed.

“For pity’s sake, I don’t know! I’ve had approximately four and a half seconds to think about it since having the problem defined. I have the beginnings of a few ideas. They all want refining and I haven’t decided what direction will be best to take. You’ll hate everything, and whatever I do might take some time. Do you want me to proceed?”

“Suppose I want a screaming row,” he posited, not as though he especially did but as though it was an interesting hypothetical that ought to be tested.

LOL!
