Viper shook her head. "Please Merlin, if ever I reproduce don't let me turn into one of them..." Viper half muttered in a prayer of sorts.

Calista felt awkward. "Same here. Must cost them a fortune, all those howlers."

Viper shook her head. "No. The blasted shop keeps putting them on sale."

"Probably quite a lucrative business, selling howlers." Calista smirked.
"All those parents stocking up before term starts, in case any mishap should befall their ickle children."

"Apparently a bloody good business!" Viper replied with laughter.

"Now we know what to suggest if the school ever needs money." Calista laughed.

Viper nodded. "That would be a good way to fundraise: selling howlers. Hmm. Perhaps we should mention it to Kiara..."

Calista laughed. "That would be an interesting conversation..."

"Hello Headmistress. Hey, I noticed the school is really lagging behind with all this junk you call supplies. How about we sell howlers to roll in the extra galleons..." Viper smirked. "That's a lovely conversation. Perhaps we should take a vote on who can suggest that idea to Kiara."

Calista thought for a moment. "I vote a drunken Gryffindor...Student or Professor, either would be amusing."

Viper snickered. "Great, Professor Delanquar it is then. You'll have to get her ready though." she joked lightly.

"Are there staff parties any time soon?...Or ever for that matter..."

"Good question. I don't know the answer, but still a good question."

"Isn't the Yule Ball coming up soon?" Calista's eyes were wide with exagerrated horror.
"Please tell me the punch for the students will be non-alcoholic! I do not want to deal with drunken students."

Viper nodded. "No, I doubt they'll actually have alcohol in the punch for everyone. Plus, considering Kiara's allergie to alcohol they'll at least have one alcohol free punch bowl."

"Thank Merlin." Calista sighed. "Drunken students would not be fun..."

Viper thought about it for a moment. "Oh I don't know about that. It could be quite ammusiing..."

"It could be...but I get the feeling it would be followed by more howlers than any desk could cope with." Calista smiled.

Viper shrugged. "We were due for new furniture anyway."

"True. And if we sell them the howlers in the first place, we'll be able to afford it."
Calista laughed.

""A master genuis plan!"

Calista laughed. "We get to watch drunken students humiliate themselves, new furniture and vast hordes of cash. It's a definate win."

"What are we waiting for? Let's get those howlers!"

Calista laughed. "We'll have to buy out the biggest supplier and resell them! Which is the biggest supplier of howlers?"

Viper shrugged. "I have no idea..." she laughed. "Howlers'R'Us?"
