If this is an indication of the way the year is going to go, I -almost- feel sorry for "poor" Snivellus, he's going to have to cope with an angry/petulant Draco all year. I wonder if he can arrange a trade with Minerva just for a change of pace, he gets the Weaseleys (they -are- purebloods after all) and she gets Draco; I'll admit, though, that I'm not sure who'll get the better deal there. :D

Snape won't have to worry about Draco all year... And When Minerva finds out what the Weasleys have done, they might find themselves having a problem or two with their head of house...
