Congratulations, Slytherin. I was almost worried you all would fail miserably with points and we'd be losing right now.

Let's just hope you can keep this up.

Speaking of losing, the teacher match is getting closer with each passing day. I'm sure you're all terribly excited to watch your teachers fail miserably, but who knows, maybe we'll actually do quite well. Perhaps a practice session would be beneficial?

I also want to take this moment to talk about something personal to me. I know I'm late with this announcement, but I can't have my fiancé receiving all of the attentions and congratulations. As most of you should know by know, I will be marrying Murdoc Donoghue on some unforeseen date in our future. We haven't made any solid plans, because between our excitement over finally being engaged and how busy it can be to be a teacher here, we haven't had the time. We'll have a date set soon, if any of you are truly nosy enough to want to know about our private lives.

Though talking about this on the journals makes it seem a lot less private, doesn't it?

Congratulations Dear.

[arachnoble]

Thank you.

Would you mind helping me with preparations, by any chance?

[wavesofjade]

It Would Be My Pleasure!

[arachnoble]

Thank you so much.

I wouldn't trust anyone else to help me pick out my dress.

[wavesofjade]

Oh My, You Do Flatter Me.

But I Would Trust No One Else Either.

[arachnoble]

Well nobody else in this school is near as fashionable as you.

Except for myself, but a second opinion is always nice.

[wwistful]

I still think a winter wedding would be lovely, if not a little soon.

Ah, that reminds me. We should discuss the flower arrangements. How do orchids sound to you?

[arachnoble]

In some way, don't you think that sooner would be better?

While I appreciate the meaning of orchids, I am curious as to why you're suggesting them, of all flowers. I almost thought you would have suggested roses.

[wwistful]

Perhaps, I just want there to be enough time for it to be planned nicely.

Orchids are nicer than roses, obviously. Much more sophisticated, roses are so very over done.

[You're marrying this.]

[arachnoble]

Maybe we should go look around for vendors, then. We should be free enough during the student's Hogsmeade weekend.

Do you have any plans beyond what type of flower you want?

[wwistful]

I've made some plans for the weekend, but I'll get back to you on that. I'd like it, a lot.

I think we should discuss what parts our children will be playing. Also a colour scheme, though I can already think of two colours we might like to use.

[arachnoble]

There is more than one day in the weekend.

What did you have in mind for your brood? I don't want either of your boys to outshine Vriska.

I'm going to assume you're thinking blue and purple.

[plushaeusrumpified]

Aw gosh, you just sound so happy. It's making my heart go pitter patter.

[arachnoble]

I'm over the moon, Strider.

[plushaeusrumpified]

No, really. I can definitely tell. It's just seeping through the goddamn page. The sweetness is gonna make my teeth rot.

[arachnoble]

Perhaps you should see a dentist.

[plushaeusrumpified]

Why should I be inconvenienced by you? I think you should cut the shit sap.

[Private to Strider]

[grandhighwizard]

oh, now
THAT'S INTERESTING.

[Private to Strider]

[plushaeusrumpified]

What's interesting? The fact you can't mind your own business? I'm just congratulating the happy couple.

[givesyouaboner]

That's nice.

_{[he doesn't know what to think about this anymore. grown-ups.]}

[arachnoble]

Thank you, Strider.

[grandhighwizard]

FINALLY?
it's taken you awhile, has it?
CONGRATULATIONS, THEN.

[arachnoble]

Longer than you could ever imagine.

Thank you, Rhydderch.

[grandhighwizard]

well, i was aware there was some connection between you two
IN YOUR SCHOOL DAYS.
and i can imagine quite a long time.
YOU'RE WELCOME.

[arachnoble]

That is one way of putting it, yes.
