[Professor Connelly @DrinkingCharmer]

I'm too sober for this.

@MercurialAcuity "Hence the job, I suppose," he said, looking up at her for a few moments before turning his gaze back to the lake. He made no mention of the hand on his leg; and had no intention to make any mention of it either.

"It's quiet by the lake, peaceful. I like it."

[Professor Connelly @DrinkingCharmer]

@MercurialAcuity - moments' silence, glancing over to her. He was, of course, ignorant to her having closed the distance between them.

[Professor Connelly @DrinkingCharmer]

@MercurialAcuity He nodded, holding the wine between his hands as he looked out over the lake. The smile faltered after a few moments, drifting away to be replaced by his usual impassive frown. He'd first kissed Adelaide by the lake.

"What made you think of this?" He asked after a few -

[Professor Connelly @DrinkingCharmer]

@CapriciousWit - some bloody reason my sanity's clearly bloody left me and I'm not going to just leave you to it."

[Professor Connelly @DrinkingCharmer]

@CapriciousWit He rose from his desk, gaze fixed upon her, looking almost like a wolf watching its prey as he rounded the desk and crossed his office in a few long strides.

"I bloody well know that, Lovegood," he snapped, "and I'd be well within my bloody rights to not give it. But for -

[Professor Connelly @DrinkingCharmer]

@CapriciousWit - arse down, Lovegood. I don't understand *why* I feel the damned need to help you in the slightest, but here we bloody are."

[Professor Connelly @DrinkingCharmer]

@CapriciousWit He sighed at that, slamming his curled fists on his desk the moment she rose to her feet, gaze snapping to fall upon her and face a twisted look of fury.
When he spoke his voice was louder than she'd likely ever heard it, even when snapping in lessons.

"Sit your bloody -

[Professor Connelly @DrinkingCharmer]

@SupremacistRod "Well," he said, sipping at his fresh scotch now, taking it remarkably, surprisingly slowly, "only in terms of being the worst. From what I've seen they couldn't even best a Muggle with a spade in a duel."

[Professor Connelly @DrinkingCharmer]

[Starter of sorts for @SupremacistRod]

It had been three weeks since the school had been placed under Snape's administration, and in those three weeks Connelly had done all he could to avoid leaving his office.
Teaching had started, of course, but Flitwick had somehow -

[Professor Connelly @DrinkingCharmer]

@MercurialAcuity - and less since...well, since the war. But this was nice enough to forget things.

Even if he was completely ignorant of Luna's true feelings.

"This was a good idea, Miss Lovegood, I can see why you were a Ravenclaw," he remarked, glancing at her with a small smile.

[Professor Connelly @DrinkingCharmer]

@MercurialAcuity He sat back, lying back on the blanket, legs outstretched and elbows against the ground to hold him upright some. His gaze was drifting slowly over the lake, an actual smile gracing his features as he took in the natural beauty of the place.

He found himself smiling less -

[Professor Connelly @DrinkingCharmer]

@SupremacistRod "That being said," he continued, ignorant of Lestrange's internal struggle or his averted gaze as he returned his own to the last of the essays to mark, "you'd better hope they don't leave, you'd have zero competition then."

[Professor Connelly @DrinkingCharmer]

@VeneficusJames - the third floor.

Once there he settled down with a book and a scotch. Back to term, it seems.

[Professor Connelly @DrinkingCharmer]

@VeneficusJames Connelly, meanwhile, did the same thing he's been doing for the last few years; after helping to lead the Hufflepuffs down to the basement, he made his way to his own room. It was a small room, located on the same level as the Hufflepuff common room, far from his own office on -

[Professor Connelly @DrinkingCharmer]

@VeneficusJames - this year, "in as much as you can feel at home in a job, anyway. Don't worry, you won't get used to it."

[Professor Connelly @DrinkingCharmer]

@VeneficusJames He shrugged at that, picking idly at the bacon on his plate. Oh, bacon, that one love he held outside of drinkable alcoholic things.

"I guess," he answered, his gaze drifting over the full Hall at the various students. Luckily there had been a smaller influx of Hufflepuffs -
