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.

“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?”
