It seems the powers that be have quite the esoteric sense of humour. I arrive to take up my new duties and a large portion of the student body has been rendered incapable of reading anything more challenging than the most simplified versions of "Babbity Rabbity and her Cackling Stump".

In any case, greetings, Hogwarts. My name is Ezra Fell. Headmaster Dumbledore has requested I take up the mantle as Librarian of this school, as apparently my predecessor was found lacking in some way. Some of you may be familiar with the bookshop I run in Soho down in London; it's a popular location for youngsters to duck into to try to pluck up the courage to try to sneak into some of the more... illicit establishments in the area.

[VOICE]

Er, I might as well speak this part as some of the potentially interested parties may not be able to read at this juncture. If any of the small children would like to see a presentation of Muggle sleight-of-hand "magic", I am something of an enthusiast and would be pleased to put on a show.

[She giggles vivaciously]

=You talk funny, Mr. Book. I'm not troubled, I'm Usagi! Mr. Book? Why do you talk, books don't talk.=

[Under his breath] Did she just say she's a rabbit? What on earth... oh, bugger this.

[He quickly casts a translation charm on the journal. It might not be perfect and his voice might still sound a little strange, but it's more accurate than Japanese he picked up over the course of 2 weeks.]

Testing, testing. Is this any better?

Not Testing, Usagi! Silly Mr. Book. You aren't silly sounding anymore.

Oh thank goodness, it's working.

Hello, Usagi. My name isn't Mr. Book; it's Mr. Fell.

Did you fall over?

[She's confusing last names for actions. She sounds a little concerned.]

Ah, no, I believe there's been a misunderstanding. This charm still has a few kinks in it, I see. Fell is my last name. Much like how when you said your name was Usagi the first time, I thought you were saying you were a rabbit.

But That is my name! I am saying rabbit. I'm named after the one in the moon! Why are you a book? Are you from Beauty and the Beast?

A rabbit which lives on the moon. Goodness, Muggles certainly have some unusual folklore.

And I'm afraid you're mistaken. I'm not a book; I'm merely speaking through the journal system via magic.
