21 Sprigs and Prigs
Moody was in a foul mood once he had taken care of Umbridge and her fellow traitors. The Yule and New Year had passed him by, he had been so busy with paperwork, court sessions and trips back and forth to Azkaban he had not even noticed the lack of Yule decorations or that Christmas trees and lighting had all disappeared.
He had been fully absorbed with the arrests, trials and subsequent transportation of Umbridge to Azkaban prison and it was only then he could relax and begin to think upon the Scottish witch.
He had discovered while his attention was elsewhere, that that bastard Albus Fucking Dumbledore had manipulated the Ministry to move Minerva McGonagall to return to teaching.
She was out of his reach and he wondered which witch or wizard had managed to oust her. He had a feeling that Umbridge had been behind it. He was angry but could do nothing about it. His Owls to Hogwarts addressed to Minerva had come back to him without being opened. He knew that the twinkly eyed bastard was to blame.
