Returning to school is an interesting prospect, but I believe I have soured a bit on the concept this evening. If only the ignorant weren't so rampantly accepted - entrance exams for Hogwarts should be required, really, the way they do for Universities. Then, only the people who truly desired and could benefit from an education would be allowed. Perhaps something else could be arranged for those who did poorly on their exams. Everyone should be given the opportunity to better themselves, but I would rather they not get in the way of MY learning. There are no sacred places any more, I'm rapidly learning.

That being said, my summer went excellently, as my uncle Hans is, as ever, an enlightening and enlightened man. It's a shame he lives so far away, as I would visit him every holiday if I could. It would be nice to have someone to talk to about his work, but some things are just not meant to be, I guess.

No, it isn't likely to change. But perhaps he'll post it in the papers or send you a signed picture of himself, he might even come right to the school and give you that self-assuring pat on the arse you seem to be seeking.

I have better things to do than censor you, West. I was merely encouraging intelligent debate in the place of numerous conversations about bodily functions. Offending you wasn't my intention, despite how easy it seemed to be.

[Why ... you ... how DARE he ... ]

I have never required a 'pat on the arse', sir. And telling me to write the Minister isn't encouraging any debate at all.

[Can't tell off a professor, can't tell off a professor ... but damn it! HOW RUDE!]

Sorry for not reading your mind, I'll work on my divination skills.

[Damn it feels good to have something over someone else.]

[Congratulations, Murdoc. You've managed to get the better of one socially maladroit fifteen year old.]

Divination is a rubbish magic. I have homework to do, good night, professor.

Good night, West.
