I have no idea what's got into the faculty. Apart from going at it like knives, to a one they've gotten infernally touchy. No sense of humour at all. Snapping at each other at the slightest provocation. Poor Gilderoy. And I, for one, will likely be receiving a death threat or two by next owl post. Why, Remus nearly bit my head off in his eagerness to defend the honour of Lucius Malfoy. LUCIUS MALFOY! Truly surreal. It happens to confirm my theory on those two, but why Remus is being so secretive and fragile about it I can't imagine. Does he think we've never seen two men make sheep-eyes at each other? Merlin! The whole lot of them are bordering on irrational. Normally a state like this is caused by too little sex, rather than too much.
The students have started to notice it as well. Everyone, most especially the Slytherin, have such a hunted look on their faces during practise. Even the Gryffindor have been developing far more defensive manoeuvres than they usually do. The Gryffindor, defensive! Times are grim indeed.
Sigh. If only it were in my power to give the whole staff a ding 'round the ear and pour a cup of rum punch down them. They do so need it.
