Severus sighed, recognizing an argument he was not going to win. He chose a different tack. "But really, Headmaster, Quirrell?" He spat the name with disgust, and Albus could not entirely blame him. Quirinus Quirrell was the Muggle Studies professor, or rather, he had been the Muggle Studies professor up until last year, when he had taken a sabbatical to Albania, and come back even more jumpy and frightened than before. With an irritating stammer, no less, and a pronounced fear of vampires. Perfect qualifications for a Defense professor, of course. (Sigh.)
