It has come to the Ministry's, and therefore my, attention that Hogwarts is in need of some... Assistance. Given the Headmaster's unfortunate inability to keep things under control at camp and even now under his very own roof, the Ministry has seen fit to appoint me High Inquisitor.

I can assure you that this is a very good thing, despite what you may be thinking and on behalf of the Ministry I would like to formally apologize for the events at camp. It is unfortunate that his carelessness would result in such an unfortunate occurrence. I can assure you that while I'm here, none of you will get so out of control.

You may have heard that it was dark magic responsible, but I can promise you that this was a lie made up only to justify a few rowdy teenagers. This will not be tolerated while I'm here, believe me. Everyone's safety is of my utmost concern, and it's up to me to prune the thorny hedges and keep everything nice and orderly.

With that said, I do not tolerate disobedience of any kind, and if I catch any kind of behaviour like what was displayed at camp, the consequences will be severe. This is the only warning I am going to give anyone. I fully expect to get along with every student here, however, so do not let my faith go unrewarded.

Finally, along with my position as High Inquisitor, I have also been appointed Herbology Professor. But considering the importance of the position, it would be best for you to refer to me as Inquisitor Snow rather than Professor.

Well. No. They are too. And that also bothers me.

What does quicksand have to do with a wand? A rope would be better so you could pull---you could probably keep the sand from moving with a wand, huh?

_[Dumb.]

It's a bother, but what can you do? As long as nobody gets hurt I'd consider it a job well done.

[Pause.] Though I will agree to the fact that he is terribly offputting, we can't point fingers until he actually does something. [And then he finds out that he threatened to deport his Sybille. No big.]

Somethin' like that, yes. How could you not realise that? [Someone doesn't understand muggleborns.]

I guess so. It bothers me there isn't a perfect system, though.

That might be one of the harder parts though. What if we have to said for years?

_{[He pauses.]} I'm not used to having a wand to do things for me. And because everyone knows that unless there's someone nearby to help or if you can get a good grip on a vine, you can't escape quicksand and you'll die.

Nothin' is perfect. Humans are the epitome of imperfection.

If we can all behave ourselves, he'll have nothin' to investigate and will probably be placed somewhere else.

I suppose that's why you're at school, then.

That is true. I guess I'll have to try to be good. _{[Easier said than done.]}

No way. Clearly the reason I'm in school is 'cause I know everything already. _{[Blatant sarcasm, but he at least isn't being serious.]}

You needn't be rude when I'm only tryin' to help you. [He sniffs indignantly.]

Well, you can't expect me to know everything yet.

That isn't what I implied at all, Strider.

I'm not sure what you implied then.

That it's expected for someone who has lived as a muggle their whole life to forget that magic is the default answer for a great deal of difficult questions.

In that case, that would be a correct assertion.

So, as you can see, I meant no offense. It was merely an observation.

Yeah, I do now.

My bad.

Understood.

Is there anythin' else you wanted to ask about?

Not really. I think that's everything for now.

_[Pause.]

But if I think of something else, can I come see you?

As you wish.

[That's going to earn him a small smile.] You're welcome anytime you wish, Strider.

Thank you, Professor.

_{[And with this, he's getting up and taking his leave.]}
