Summary
“What do you know about the ethics professor—St. Ange?”
McGonagall took a breath, heartbroken she couldn’t display one of her champion wry smiles, “French—”
“Already noted.”
“Your sharp wit toiling away, no doubt,” McGonagall said, “highly educated. Worked for the ministry—something happened there. Last spring—because that was when Dumbledore floated the idea of an ethics course to me. Of course, I was enthusiastic. Lots of ideas, a strong philosophy. Refreshing to have an outsider. One not so entrenched in the day-to-day drudgery—maybe naïve however…Very talented. A fine addition.”
Snape’s eyes flickered as he listened, taking careful note of the subtexts McGonagall was providing, “fired from the ministry then?”
She shook her head, “not that, no. Dumbledore didn’t say, and I didn’t ask. But why are you asking?”
“With dementors roaming the grounds, Sirius Black on the loose—and whatever other … dark forces might be lurking…it’s odd she shows up…?”
“I’d say this is the perfect time for ethics to be a part of the curriculum then,” McGonagall shrugged, who knew that it only took having to work with another teacher to make Severus Snape spin into conspiracy theories.
