I suppose now is as good a time as any to formally apologise for my behaviour under the influence of the unexplained events. We all know that it's an entirely blameless situation and that nothing can be done, so, any further mentions of the situation involving myself in particular may be reason enough for me to remove points. Let's not be counter productive about this, let's just move on from it.

This journal is also an opportunity to share some more positive news regarding Slytherin and Ravenclaw students taking my class. I have acquired a boggart and there will be a practical class in the next few weeks. As such, any concerns should be brought to me. However, if you skip without my consent I will make you regret it every day for the rest of your school life. Thank you.

Now, an assignment for all of you in my class, though the lengths will vary. I want you to consider the events of the previous days and then think about the risks and consequences of uncontrolled magic, even if it's not necessarily Dark Arts, it's still a situation one must understand and prepare for. I want you to take a long thought about why we have rules and regulations to adhere to and how they benefit us.
First to Third years I want to see at least three good paragraphs. Fourth to Fifth should write at least five. Sixth to Seventh I expect a convincing, well thought out essay with an argument for your opinion. The length is up to you.

I will finish with a friendly reminder that you may not use my situation as an example in your analysis unless you're particularly interested in failure.

[Private to Tulio]
15 points to Slytherin for impressive negotiation skills.

[[ooc: Homework goes HERE also Murdoc was a pirate for the wish event don't judge him. There will be a boggart log up in about two weeks!]]

That would be a fine time for me to sit in on a lesson, Professor. You should let me know what day you're having the boggart, specifically.

We would be happy to have you, Sir. We will be having it on the 12th of October, a Friday.

Good. I will be there.

But enough about that. Tell me, how goes the wedding preparation? You must be excited.

Before we stray off the the topic entirely, I'd like to point out that students under special circumstances will be given private lessons.

[He reeeeally doesn't want to tell him that, but he imagines the consequences of him finding out himself are even worse.]

As well as can be expected, sir. There's quite a bit to organise, as you must know. We're both terribly excited, of course, even with so much work to do.

And why is that? You think just because they're... different, they deserve special treatment?

Oh, I can imagine. I find myself a little disappointed though; with how eager you had seemed, I've heard nothing on it since it was announced. Nor have I seen any hint of a wedding being planned.

If they're different they deserve to be treated in a manner that befits them, I believe. Private classes will prevent any unnecessary incidents while still ensuring that they're properly taught.

We're still planning in a most dedicated fashion, though there has been little time to boast about such preperations with everything that's been going on. I am, however, warmed by your most sincere interest in my marriage. Thank you, sir.

This is absolutely why this school should not have allowed them a place at all. They are a menace and a danger and really, you're coddling them with special treatment? If they need private lessons to prevent them from hurting anyone, they should not be here at all.

Ah, how silly of me to forget. Of course, yes, things have been terribly... chaotic lately, haven't they? Forgive me for prying. You're of course very madly in love with her, how could I forget?

You're welcome, Professor. I look forward to what the future brings the two of you.

Perhaps in your opinion, Sir, but I'm simply working with the situation I'm given and I've found that privacy is the best approach in rare cases. I doubt their peers would be terribly offended by the varying degrees of treatment.

They have indeed. Though I imagine the less said in regards to that, the better. It's no trouble at all, sir, it's nice to be able to gush about her once in a while. She is an amazing woman, afterall.

Yes sir, I do too.

Then I suppose I should work to change the situation you've been given. But nonetheless, I will still be sitting in. On these private lessons as well.

I have no doubt you love her, yes. You aren't the one who needs to convince me.

Should I inform the students of your presence?

With all due respect, sir, I find it a little offensive that you're questioning the validity of my marriage.

Absolutely not.

Do you? I find it suspicious, the timing of the announcement. Perhaps I wouldn't question it so much if she had given me any reason to believe the sincerity of the action.

Do you not think the surprise of a guest may hinder the flow of the lesson?

Had you considered the idea that the timing had simply lead us to finally take the proper steps into marriage? I find your suspicion to be unfounded, though it will make little difference in the long run. I'm very sorry that you feel that way.
