Hey, Hogwarts. The name's Leon Kennedy, and I'll be joining the staff here.

Let's get the formalities out of the way. I'm an Auror, trained in both the American and British ministries, and I fought in the recent war. I'll be here teaching Pre-Auror Studies to help some of you aspiring Aurors get acquainted with the training you'll receive once you graduate. It's gonna be tough, and I won't go easy on you.

If you have any questions about myself or the class, feel free to ask.

WELL IT IS THAT TIME OF YEAR AGAIN. YOU KNOW, THE ONE WHERE ALL YOU MUNCHKINS ARE HERE AT THIS SCHOOL.
I HOPE ALL OF YOU HAVE BEEN VERY STUDIOUS STUDENTS AND HAVEN'T LANDED YOURSELVES IN DETENTION SO SOON INTO THE SCHOOL YEAR!
THAT BEING SAID, IT IS TIME FOR HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENTS FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE TAKING MY CLASS.
I WOULD RATHER NOT HEAR COMPLAINTS BECAUSE THAT IS RUDE.

YEARS 3-4, CHOOSE AN ARTICLE FROM THE ISSUE OF PEOPLE I DISTRIBUTED IN CLASS EARLIER AND SUMMARIZE THE CONTENT. AFTER, STATE YOUR OPINION ON HOW YOU THINK THE CONTENT COMPARES TO WIZARD SOCIETY, IF AT ALL. YOUR WRITING SHOULD BE AT LEAST FIVE INCHES BUT NOT EXCEED TEN.

YEARS 5-7, YOU HAVE THE SAME ASSIGNMENT, EXCEPT THE WRITING MUST BE AT LEAST TEN INCHES. I EXPECT YOU TO APPLY KNOWLEDGE AND EVIDENCE FROM PREVIOUSLY READ TEXTS AND YOUR OWN EXPERIENCES. DO NOT FORGET TO READ BOMBPROOF YOUR HORSE AS ONE OF YOUR FUTURE ASSIGNMENTS WILL BE EXAMINING MUGGLE EQUESTRIAN CULTURE, BUT YOU WILL BE ASSIGNED THE ACTUAL WRITING LATER.

REMEMBER, IF YOU HAVE ANY MUGGLE ITEMS YOU WOULD LIKE TO BRING TO CLASS TO SHARE, BY ALL MEANS DO SO. CLASS TIME IS ALWAYS BEST IF WE HAVE INTERESTING THINGS TO DISCUSS!!!

OH. AND THE ASSIGNMENTS ARE DUE NEXT MONDAY.

I THINK WE'VE ALL HAD ENOUGH OF THESE FUCKING PETITIONS.
1. THIS IS A SCHOOL, NOT A ZOO.
2. NOBODY CARES.
3. DON'T WHINE THAT WE DIDN'T GET COOL ANIMALS LIKE HUFFLEPUFF AND RAVENCLAW DID. IT'S ANNOYING AND MAKES YOU LOOK LIKE A TOOL.
DONE AND DUSTED.

ALSO, HAS ANYONE SEEN A NOTEBOOK AROUND?
IT'S LEATHER BOUND AND SPELLED VOICE PASSWORD LOCKED.
I THINK I MIGHT HAVE LEFT IT IN THE LIBRARY THE OTHER WEEK.

It has come to the Ministry's, and therefore my, attention that Hogwarts is in need of some... Assistance. Given the Headmaster's unfortunate inability to keep things under control at camp and even now under his very own roof, the Ministry has seen fit to appoint me High Inquisitor.

I can assure you that this is a very good thing, despite what you may be thinking and on behalf of the Ministry I would like to formally apologize for the events at camp. It is unfortunate that his carelessness would result in such an unfortunate occurrence. I can assure you that while I'm here, none of you will get so out of control.

You may have heard that it was dark magic responsible, but I can promise you that this was a lie made up only to justify a few rowdy teenagers. This will not be tolerated while I'm here, believe me. Everyone's safety is of my utmost concern, and it's up to me to prune the thorny hedges and keep everything nice and orderly.

With that said, I do not tolerate disobedience of any kind, and if I catch any kind of behaviour like what was displayed at camp, the consequences will be severe. This is the only warning I am going to give anyone. I fully expect to get along with every student here, however, so do not let my faith go unrewarded.

Finally, along with my position as High Inquisitor, I have also been appointed Herbology Professor. But considering the importance of the position, it would be best for you to refer to me as Inquisitor Snow rather than Professor.

Currently there is more talk about how much people hate hearing about capybaras than talk either pro- or anti- capybara. That makes the people who are against talking the most talkative of any of the three groups.

Is this sort of thing normal human behavior?

While you lot have been talking about goats and water rats, I've been working on getting in advance classes. If it pays off, I'll be in Dueling and Pre-Auror studies before the I'm allowed. Those classes are much better than rubbish like Divination.

All right, art club members, we're going to have our first meeting this Friday! We'll be outside, weather permitting, by the lake! Bring whatever you want to make art with! It should be a ton of fun, and we're still open to new members!

And on a prefect note, while you all should have been already, I hope you'll be on your best behaviour with Inquisitor Snow here! Thank to the Headmaster, I'm working on a project that should help keep folks out of future detentions if they do get in trouble. But you'll hear more about that later!

Oh, also, I'm always looking for things to work on in my spare time! If anyone has some sort of craft they'd like me to make them, feel free to ask! I'll get some more supplies in Hogsmeade come October if I need to.
