So I'm a bit late in making this introduction.

Hi.

I'm Professor Captor, and I'll be teaching Flying. I know it's a bit late to just show up and start teaching, so I'll apologize for that. There were a few complications, but I'm here now.

I'm also offering one on one practice, if anyone wants to really improve their techniques, or are too nervous and shy to ask for help in class. So, just. Feel free to contact me if you need help.

Flying classes will resume on Monday, so I hope to see everyone in this coming week.

Ill Be Wanting You In The Hospital Wing For A Quick Check-Up Before You Begin Teaching, Cephas Dear.
At Your Earliest Convenience.

[And that means 'now'. Don't make her come and get you, young man. She'll do it.]

[xanthous]

I wasn't aware health checks were mandatory.

[He doesn't want to see Dolores. He really doesn't. Nope, there's too much he'll want to say.]

[wavesofjade]

Given Events Of Late I Feel It Prudent.

Do Not Keep Me Waiting.

[xanthous]

What events? I didn't do anything.

I'll be there soon, ma'am.

[wavesofjade]

You Are Not In Trouble Dear.

[Unless you keep her waiting too long. Then you might be.]

[quasistellar]

Complications? Interesting.

[xanthous]

Yes, that's what I said. I'm sure you can imagine you don't just leave the Ministry.

[notthebee2]

[xanthous]

It could be a lot worse.

I suppose that's true enough. I don't think Dumbledore would let anyone horrible onto the staff.

I can see why Mituna likes you.

Welcome at last darling. I suppose I will be seeing you when you visit the Hospital Wing for your check-up.

Would you prefer tea or something stronger?

[yes she's offering you drinks in advance.]

[filter]

[xanthous]

Thank you, ma'am.

I think something stronger would be very nice. And necessary.

Re: [filter]

[mammas_goot_to_hyu]

I will have something ready - also, I wouldn't keep Dolores waiting too long either, sweetheart.

See you soon.

[filter]

[xanthous]

Thanks. Do you think you could keep her from hunting me down? I will see her, but. I have things to do first.

[filter]

[mammas_goot_to_hyu]

I can try, ja. See you later darling.

[wwistful]

It's a pity you missed the teacher's quidditch match, I'm sure you would have been quite the asset.

[xanthous]

I'm sure I would have been, sir. How were the teams divided, though?

[wwistful]

Gryfferin and Ravenpuff. Combinations of the four houses with ridiculous names.

We elected to go on our preferred team.

[xanthous]

I'm assuming most went with the houses they were in during school, then.

Which sounds like it would have made for an either really boring or really interesting match.

[wwistful]

I'd heard it was interesting, but I can only speak for myself.

So, Captor. Are you related to the boys here in some manner?

[grandhighwizard]

REPLACING STRIDER?
well, this should be
INTERESTING.
welcome to hogwarts, captor.

[xanthous]

Apparently so. Is this a good or bad sort of interest?

Thank you, sir.

[grandhighwizard]

i don't believe that
ANY KIND OF INTERESTING IS BAD.
so consider it a compliment, my lad.

[accioleggings]

TELL ME YOU'RE I YOUR OFFICE BECAUSE I'M ON MY WAY THERE AND I'D HATE TO HAVE TO TAKE A DETOUR.

[xanthous]

I'm in my office, which is good. You can help me unpack.

[givesyouaboner]

Welcome, Professor. I hope the rest of the school year is good to you.

[nunganunga_k_o]

Improving flying technique? Will this practise involve flying through flaming quaffle hoops or will it be relatively normal?
