Eight ♒

[wwistful]

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!]]

[allisnotlost]

[wwistful]

Why do you need one galleon and five sickles?

[allisnotlost]

[wwistful]

No, I read it perfectly. You want five sickles, you're going to have to earn them.

[allisnotlost]

[wwistful]

My birthday isn't for months so it's obviously not a present. Not for me, at least.

What are you buyin'?

voice

[allisnotlost]

... Christmas is comin' up?

voice

[wwistful]

You only plan on spending two galleon on my present? What kind of penny pinching son have I raised?

voice

[allisnotlost]

Now who said anythin' about buyin' you a gift with just two galleons.

...
[oops.]

...

If I bought you a gift for two galleons it'd be part of a bigger one I assure you.

voice

[wwistful]

I'm not givin' you money until you tell me what you're spendin' it on.

voice

[allisnotlost]

Why can't I just hawe some extra cash on me without hawin' any idea of what to spend it on?

[spoilers: self indulgence on sweets but he doesn't want to sound like a fatty.]

voice

[wwistful]

Because I like to know where my money is goin'.

[Soon you will learn to squirrel away things like your dad, aka Scrooge.]

[plushaeusrumpified]

Oh come on, you're such a troll. Just give him the money already, pops.

Filtered to Murdoc

[wwistful]

Trolls are disgusting and no, he's spoilt enough as it is.

Filtered

[plushaeusrumpified]

In more modern terms, they're also somebody who enjoys screwing with people, which is exactly what you're doing now. But believe me, you're so far from disgusting, so don't worry about that.

What's two galleons gonna hurt?

Filtered

[wwistful]

I'm so very flattered that you think so.

If he was honest about what he was spending it on I might not have fooled around so much.

Why's it matter so much to you, though? Ain't like he can buy anything illegal here. Besides, don't you think after... Y'know. Don't you think it'd be good to at least do something nice for him? Even if it's just giving him money.

After that shit with Dave, I took him to Knocturn Alley to make up for it.

Filtered

[wwistful]

What was that for?

I'm only teasing him because he lied, Dirk. I have every intention of giving him the money.

Is that really an appropriate place for a boy?
