"Oh how cheerful! A nice fire and gathering of the class," she beamed and pushed the basket into the nearest student's lap. "Pass those around, dear."
After ensuring the cookies wold be passed, she smiled up at Lainey again. "I just thought I'd pop in and offer some cookies for story time," she explained, so cheerful it looked like maybe she'd charmed her face into that position.

If looks could kill, Lainey would have made Melita's head explode.
Story time? Steelsheen nearly groaned loudly but just turned her head away so that the Potions Professor doesnt have to see her grimacing
What are we gonna do now, sing 'These are a few of my favorite things?' She looked down at the cookie basket as it came her way. She took a cookie and raised it to the Ms Melita as if thanking her, then surreptitiously laid it between a folded parchment, crushing it. She casually folded the parchment completely then pocketed it.

Lainey took a deep, calming breath that failed. After the much needed oxygen, Melita was still there, Lainey was still fuming, and now her fists were balled up. "I will say this once, and once only: There is no room for you here, Sophia Melita."
Her eyes darted between the HOM and Potions Professors, observing them silently.
Well certainly there is no love lost between the Hogwarts Professor and these Ministry puppets she thought as she watched the scene unfold.
