Poor Severus,all that pain and suffering, and he didn't even catch Quirrell with his hand in the cookie jar, so to speak, he really does need a nice cup of tea, and a lie down, hopefully tonight, if Harry and Co stay in bed. I know it's a very big IF, but stranger things have happened.

I enjoyed this slice of a moment from the past.  Well done.

... and it will be Bloody Potter who gets rid of Quirrell, depriving Severus of that satisfaction, too. No wonder the man is in a bad mood all the time.
Thank you for this wonderful glimpse behind the scenes!
