Title: The last straw
Team: Death Eaters
Challenge: p.197
Author's note: quote from Lynne Truss's Eats, Shoots and Leaves.

A colourful poster announcing a student-organised fundraising - a Quidditch match for a goodwill organisation - stopped Hermione. You're help can make the difference! Every Knut, count! it read.

Approaching, Severus read the slogan, and sadly shook his head.

"There's no doubt about it, sir. The Punctuation Murderer has struck again."

He half-smiled at the mention of their Common Enemy, and nudged her. "Wait. Here's Minerva."

The old witch read the very same sentence. Her eyes glowed, and she announced in an overly calm tone. "That's it. I'm establishing mandatory spelling and grammar classes. Starting next Monday."
