Third Trigger Warning

[c9rp9realn9rmative]

Very amusing. I applaud whomever managed to move me all the way from Gryffindor tower to the Divination tower while I was asleep, but I am going to need to know the new password so that I can get back in and collect my belongings.

The heavyset female-identified guardian assigned to the Gryffindor portrait hole refuses to even give me a hint, as well. She is acting very strangely indeed. She looks as if she has seen a ghost.

[There is a 12-year-old Kankri standing petulantly in front of Gryffindor tower, in a bright red sweater that's a little too big for him.]

I do! But not Karkat. [Not officially anyway.] He's our nephew, Armand's son. And you have a niece too. Her name's Nepeta.

[c9rp9realn9rmative]

Armand has a son? Does he...? [Is he magical?]

So then Nepeta is yours?

[THE FUTURE IS CONFUSING.]

I can't imagine that I grow up to have any of my own. I'm sure that I have my hands plenty full with my niece and nephew.

[accioleggings]

He does. He's a fourth year Gryffindor. [Is that a little pride in his voice? You bet it is.] Yeah, she is. She's...absolutely fantastic, just like her mum. She and Karkat are in the same year.

[...O...w.]

The two of them can be quite a handful, I can't deny that.

[Even at 12, Kankri doesn't need to ask who Nepeta's mother is. Sal and Deidre's courtship was basically set in stone. Written in the stars. Destined to transcend the quadrants.]

Fourth year?

[Sal, you're 33. That would make them 14. Why you get started so early.]

Do I end up teaching here as well? [He doesn't sound like he's too fond of the idea, but he doesn't sound like he minds it much either. He just thought he'd have better things to do. But that would explain why he ended up being temporally displaced in the castle.]
