Professor's Habits
Minerva sat at her clean polished, Antigue oak desk. Stacks of exam papers were loading in piles positioned in any available space. Each pile bigger than the last. From anyone who entered point of view, all that was visible of Minerva Mcgonagall was her tight bun on the top of her head.
Minerva's for head scrunched tightly as she yet again reached to the other end of her desk for a new ink bottle, It was about the 9th one she'd gone through, what with so many exam papers to mark before the deadline, when all results would be sent of to the appropriate families. she dabbed her quill fiercely, desperate to at least make a dent in the enormous amount of marking she had yet to complete.
"The students think they have it bad.." Minerva muttered under her breath irritable.
She was determined, even if she had to stay up all night. To finish the marking and have a little freedom for tomorrow. Staying up all night was one of her dreadful habits as a professor She was sure that all of the professors had them. She just had yet to spot them. Minerva sighed, put her marking quill down and looked up to the tall ceiling. She could see outside it was dark. She now had to squint in the candle-light. Her eyes were tired. The glowing of the orange flam irritated her. She was tired all over, anything would tick her off right now.
She shook her hands as if to free them from stress. They ached like nothing that she had had to go through before. She brushed herself down and stood up. She decided to give a go at breaking her habit. It was not that late, the rest of the professors would most likely still be in the staff room.
She made her way down the corridor. Ignoring the paintings in the walls and keeping her head held high as she passed peaves the poltergeist. She turned the corner to which she faced the corridor which held the staff room. The third door to the left neared and she opened the door and entered. Sure enough a large amount of the professors were still there.
She smiled at them as she sat down next to Rolanda Hooch. Rolanda greeted her with a grin, as usual. She also offered her a bag of pepper. Minerva registered that this was their quidditch Mistress's habit. Cracking wild jokes and offering a bag of pepper to anyone she greeted. She laughed to herself and settled the mission to spot habits of the hogwarts professors.
She glanced to the left side of the staff room. Sure enough, the charms professor was there. As usual making himself two cups of coffee. Minerva realized that this was professor flitwicks habit. He would make himself two cups of very strong coffee. Drink one, then re-heat the other one for the morning, only to have to reheat it again. She sat back on the chair. Smiled to herself in the knowledge that she was not the only professor with habits.
