A Hufflepuff Story :)

Professor Lupin was having a terrible morning, and it wasn't even breakfast yet. Someone broke into the Transfiguration classroom the night before, hid a Boggart in the closet, and set loose 53 doxies. How did he know there were 53 doxies? Because each one took a bite out of his heart as he tried to capture it, and Madame Pomfrey had to write each wound separately. And comment annoyingly about how Professor McGonegall would've had the room cleared out with 2 waves of a wand.

It took forever to get out of the infirmary, and by then Professor Lupin was in a foul mood. Luckily, he knew how to improve it: by finding the culprits and making him, her or them pay. Lupin had overheard some students giggling in the hallways the other day about Suzie Weasley's stash of doxy eggs, so he had a good idea of who to interrogate first. Unfortunately for him, but rather fortunately for Suzie the common room password had recently been changed to Hufflepuff, so Lupin couldn't enter. Nearly Headless Nick looked up from his portrait and laughed at the cursing, frustrated Professor.

The old Professor Lupin would have thrown a hissy fit at being taunted by a mere portrait, and blasted the thing all the way into the [10]th floor girl's bathroom. The new Professor Lupin went to -12 weeks of Anger Management classes, punched a lot of pillows, and took up Knitting. And started subscribing to the Weasley's Wizarding Wheezes catalogue.

Professor Lupin's first class off the day was Transfiguration with the 3rd year Hufflepuffs and Ravenclaws. It took them 2 hours to clean up after the entire carton of Sneakescopes that went off and clung to their robes, schoolbooks, and any exposed flesh. The students all knew that Suzie Weasley was planning to do something in Transfiguration to get Professor Lupin, so everyone blamed her for the prank and gave her the cold shoulder for 17 days, until Esmerelda Beanswallow blew up the Herbology classroom with a misplaced charm and became the new pariah-of-the-hour.
