CH 2

10/3/75 -SIRIUS BLACK-

Filch is a greasy git.

Who has yellow, crooked teeth.

Bad breath.

Wrinkles.

Just pure ugliness all wrapped up in one man. No wonder he's such an arse all the time. I would be too, if I had to see all that every time I looked in a mirror. 

My fingers are still stinging from all those cauldrons he made me scrub; it really puts into perspective how horribly  muggles and squibs live without magic. (Aha. Another reason why he's so bitter all the time.)

Usually detentions are more endurable because I either have Prongs or Wormtail or Moony by my side scrubbing cauldrons, writing lines, or doing paperwork with me. It's so boring without either of them. 

Ah, well. At least I don't have to work with that toerag, Remus.

You don't think he'd be the type to hold a grudge, eh?

It's already been, like, two weeks since that thing at the Shrieking Shack, and he still won't talk to me. Look at me. Acknowledge my existence at all, for that matter. I mean, I'm not a sensitive guy, but that really strikes a nerve; especially since I apologized and everything. Makes me want to grab him by the collar and just shake some sense into him. 

But I won't.

Because two can play at that game.

Sirius inwardly frowned at the page; he hadn't meant to write all that- but whatever. It wasn't like anyone would ever be able to read it. 

Of course, he never did notice Rita Skeeter's shrewd gaze over her glassy spectacles.

The incense of wild herbs and spice lingered on the potions professor as he presented his handiwork to the mediwitch. 

"This is wonderful, Horace. I can't stress enough how generous your contributions have been," Madame Pomfrey said with a thankful, but slightly weary smile.

"Oh, no! The pleasure is all mine, Poppy. Anything for an old colleague," Professor Slughorn replied jovially. "And may I ask if the condition of your patient is improving? After all, it wouldn't do if my potions aren't top notch."

Madame Pomfrey let out a small sigh and attempted to brandish what could have been another reassuring smile. "Yes, her condition has been rapidly improving since we've started putting her on your medication program; the stuff they sell out in the magical pharmacies are all rubbish compared to what you can brew."

Professor Slughorn secretly beamed at the witch's words. He knew she was not one for dishing out empty compliments.

"I feel as though I did not properly earn your acknowledgement, but I will gratefully accept it." He paused. "I've heard some... rumors of your patient, Poppy. Is she..." he trailed off, his unsaid words implicating all the questions than he could not say aloud.

"Our answers will only come with time, Horace," Madame Pomfrey replied after a short pause. "Only with time."
