Friday Morning Announcements!

Bright and early, Umbridge's voice chirped through the intercoms for one and all to hear.

"Good morning, students," she started, sounding quite pleased with things. "We're about to begin another wonderful day here on our wonderful island learning wonderful things!"

Things were wonderful, did you get that? All right, then.

"Now, I've heard we had a little accident in detention yesterday." Here, Umbridge forced herself to sound sad. "How unfortunate that is. I will make sure that child's mother and father are sent a very nice fruit basket with my condolences. Never let it be said that High Inquisitor Umbridge doesn't care about her students!"

She laughed lightly. "Now then, let's try to avoid anymore unfortunate accidents, shall we? But, if they do happen..." She actually didn't sound like she minded that so much. "...then just make sure you clean up after yourselves. Bodies strewn all about does take away from the ambiance. Have a delightful day!"

And the announcements were over.

It had been years since Jonothon had any need to actively restrain himself from throwing things at the loudspeaker that piped the announcements into Detention.

This morning, that streak had been broken with a psionic howl of rage, coupled with a burst of flame that never made its mark.

Oh, if ever he managed to get out of this place...
