She was walking down the hallway, happy to finally be less busy -- well, that's not exactly true. She was never happy not being busy, just glad there would be no more werewolf attacks for a while. As she walked down the halls a slightly shrill sound assaulted her ears. Harpies, now? This school is a disaster field, she thought, not entirely unhappily. As she drew closer to the sound, however, she realised it was not harpies, but was instead one man laughing his fool head off. She walked into his office only to see Crowley on the floor, laughing hysterically.
"Knock it off. You're more than old enough to know better."
She glares at him with those eyes. "I know you're making enough racket to raise the dead." Vampires were surprisingly light sleepers. "I also know you should be ashamed. You're a professor here. You're 'posed to be a whatsit, role model. Like we need every fool student in this place to be laughing themself senseless just because a teacher did." She still had a very light grasp on the education system.
Clueless as to what was cracking Crowley up, and attracted by the sound of laughter, Ryuuji stuck his head in and commented brightly, "I think it's great Crowley's laughing! More people in this place should be happy."
That said, he nodded politely at Mistress Weatherwax, then continued down the hall, intent on getting a hot chocolate from the kitchen to lull himself to sleep.
"Mistress Weatherwax," he gasped as the laughter subsided slightly, "I am entitled to laugh as loud and as long as I like. Especially when I read tripe," he snorted and held up the book, cover facing out, "like this."
She takes the book from his hands and peruses it. Each page she turns, her face becomes more and more serious. If it were possible, it would have turned to stone.
"It's supposed to be about romance. You know, wooing someone. And continuing the wooing after the marriage or commitment is complete." He snorted. "And if you knew who I was thinking of in relation to this book, you'd think it was funny, too."

Finally, she handed the book back to him.
"Ain't nothin' funny 'bout that."

"Don't mean it should be written down for all manner of people to read." She raised an eyebrow at the last bit. "Try me."

The stare is returned and is almost as good, though difficult to see through dark lenses.
"No, I rather think not."
