It may or may not have been coincidental, but at almost the exact same time, eight figures walked through the front door of Hogwarts and into the Entrance Hall. Well, seven walked. The eighth blibbled.

Dwight had just left Slytherin, headed somewhere else, when he noticed Michael heading in his direction.
His face broke into a wide grin as he ran to intercept his boss.
"Michael!" he exclaimed, holding his arms out for an embrace. "You've been gone so long! But don't worry. Dunder-mifflin Hogsmeade is in safe hands! I think I've even found us a new Angela. But... you've been missed!" Dwight's relief was so palpable that he could have wept, and might have except that Schrutes simply didn't do such things.

Michael's first inclination was to back in the glow of the ego boost. His second inclination was to tell Dwight not to wet his pants. So he went with his third inclination.
"Is she hot? The new Angela, I mean. Like, would I do her? And would she do me?" Oh, damn, wait. "If she was into gays, I mean."

"Yes," he finally managed. "The new Angela is hot. I even think she'd do you, although she's not nearly as pretty as Jan." Because Dwight totally wanted to hit that, and couldn't very well do so if Michael was interested. Little did he know that, later on in the new Angela's canon, she would sleep with anything and everything, and so probably wouldn't object too strenuously to sleeping with a couple of dorky overgrown manchildren.

Michael dug his hands deep into his pants pockets and pulled out a large round pin bearing vertical rainbow stripes and the phrase "I ♥ Men." The heart circumscribed a pink triangle. "Every Dunder-Mifflin employee has to wear one of these pieces of flair to show their support." He held it out to Dwight.

"Of course I'll wear it," he pronounced solemnly. "But... where is yours? Shouldn't you be wearing one, too?"

Dwight was, quite frankly, horrified. Not, he hastened to add to himself, because of Michael's gayness, but because a skank stamp seemed like an awfully permanent thing, and what if Tinky Winky's deflowerment did not prove as gentle as Michael would have wished? Also, Angela 1.0 would certainly disapprove. Not that Dwight was going to bring that up.
A response was called for, however, and so he managed to choke out, "I'm sure Jan will be glad to know you've embraced gay pride."

Wow. He wondered how they both were doing. And if they were thinking about him. Thinking about doing him. Or doing each other with him.
Aha! That cleared his head enough for him to reply, "Jan will love it, and she will be my fag hag." Which wasn't really a bad way to think about it, because didn't all fag hags secretly want to do their gay BFFs? That would get him a lot further than second base.

"Well, now that you're back," he said intensely. "As your assistant manager, I await your orders. Dunder-Mifflin Hogsmeade has a long way to go before it's as competitive as it could be with other parchment companies. Also, the party planning committee hasn't met in a long time."

"Second order. Advertising. We need to do something special, something important, to get people to buy parchment for us. I'm thinking..." He steepled his hands by his mouth and looked up in thought. "...DOUGHNUT SALE! Buy 10 pieces of parchment, get a free doughnut!" Which surely would go over well in a school that provided three full, sumptuous meals a day. "Or...no, wait, I GOT it! Toga party! Parchment toga party! Best way to ingratiate ourselves with the masses! They did it in Animal House!" Which was obviously the best sales model out there.
Michael clapped his hands loudly, clearly filled with glee at his new brainfart brainchild. "Get the party planning ( ... )

He pumped his fist several times in victory and added, "If I can be Divination Professor and Professor of Magical Comedy at the same time, I'm totally doing it." Never mind that the former position was taken and the latter didn't exist.
