I do love "sentient Hogwarts," and this one is so lovely and cozy. The students are lucky to have Minerva to look after them, and Minerva is lucky to have the castle. Nicely done!

Thank you! I do think she'll be an excellent Headmistress. She's capable and caring, but no pushover. I'm sure that the castle approves. :D

You pack a lot of story into a short space! The idea of the "malignant souls" makes spooky sense and provides a great contrast to the wonderful image of the cozy, book-lined room and the Castle's approbation.

Great job, my dear. Thank you for modding! (waves at your beta)

Getting everything you want to say across in such a few words is the fun of these drabble challenges, though, isn't it? Thank you so much! I'm very glad you liked it. :D
