bad thing to want to make good connections. He knew how to truly be a Slytherin, and she was sad that he was leaving his post.
She should be happy that he was leaving the same year she finished her education at Hogwarts, but knowing that the Potions Master was not going to be in the dungeons come September constantly reminded Rebecca that
