9. Defense Against the Dark Arts
Another term gone. Minerva was finishing her lesson plans one evening when Madam Pomfrey entered her office. The school nurse had gained a reputation among the staff as a bit of a gossip but McGonagall didn’t mind the woman, she was always very respectful and a nice lunch partner. Although no personal issues were ever disclosed.

“Did you hear who the Headmaster has hired to teach Defense this year?”

“Of course Poppy, do you forget I am the deputy?” She said tartly. She had no quarrel with her, just…him.

“I’m sorry Minerva; it’s just that Gilderoy is such a dream-boat.”
