Clock of the Hurt

[rj_anderson]

Remember that clock in Molly Weasley's kitchen that has a hand for each member of the family, and spots around the dial marked "At Work", "Travelling", "Home", "Mortal Peril", that kind of thing? Well, this morning while driving the kids to Grandma's I was suddenly beset by an image of Maud having a clock like that in her kitchen, with just one hand for Snape, and the spots marked "Peril", "Extreme Peril", "Mortal Peril", and "Just Having a Bit of an Off Day".

Hee.
