This is the third of a series of four stories detailing the relationship between Albus Dumbledore and Severus Snape. It takes place on September 2, 1996, and is really more a vignette than a story (my sister tells me it comes across very well as the opening of a novel, but I don't know what will happen further on - I may continue if I get inspired!)

For now, it is about 4,100 words long. It is rated G, and the main characters are Dumbledore, Snape, and three Ravenclaw first years. The story follows the cut. This has not been beta read, except by my sister, so crit is welcome.
