Students of all years, I have some brief announcements for you.

First, I would like to belatedly welcome you back from your holidays. As much as I would dearly like to believe you've worked all of your ridiculousness out of your system in time for school, I doubt it such a thing could ever happen.

As it happens, I am now teaching all of the houses. Congratulations, Hufflepuff and Gryffindor and I hope you haven't become accustomed to a different style of teaching.

I will allow some time to pass before I begin to assign work, if only because I would like to put some focus on the up coming dueling contest. If you've yet to sign up, I strongly suggest you do so. It's not often such an opportunity arises, after all.

Classes will now have some focus on dueling spells and techniques and we will be going over form and etiquette for some time.

For those of you brave enough to enter the tournament, I am unbiasedly extending an offer for extra lessons and assistance in your own time, if you are willing to do so. If only because I feel the need to encourage competitive spirit that is not limited to the Quidditch pitch.

If you have any questions, now is the time to ask them.
I will end this with the reminder that swearing is not accepted on the journals and doing so lowers your charisma and your house points dramatically. If you cannot refrain from doing so, I will happily filter charm you.

No. I won't.

[That's directed at Bro..Then Eridan replies and he lets some ink drops hit the page before he replies.]

Knock what off? He started it.

Undo it or I'm reporting you to Dumbledore.

[Oh motherfucker, just what he needs. Why the hell didn't he private this shit?]

Mind your own business, Ampora. And while you're at it, don't flipping believe daddy dearest. He started it way before I did.

i frankly dont givve a crap wwho started it im sayin that its gettin annoyin as hell and it needs to stop

you twwo are adults and actin like this isnt goin to help anythin at all it just makes you twwo look bad

[wwistful]

I don't think it makes us look bad at all. Honestly. I'm sure people have better things to do than peruse conversations on the journals.

It's difficult not to engage it when someone else feels the need to start it, anyway.

[plushaeusrumpified]

I don't care if it's annoying or not. If it bothers you that much, just don't read it. Besides, I don't give a flying flip.

He needs to apologize and actually MEAN it and until then I'll pick on his stupid little rules all I want. You don't even know half the story, so just step the heck off.

Don't talk to my son that way, Strider.

And fine. You make a sound point. Perhaps giving in to OBVIOUS baiting is petty of me.

From now on, I'll go out of my way to ignore him. I'm sure that will suit you both much better.

[There are inkblots as he sees Murdoc's words. On some level, he realizes that he doesn't want him to do that. The idea is... terrifying. Because if Murdoc starts ignoring him, then what? Bro's been clinging to the idea that maybe if he pushed things hard enough, Murdoc would realize that he's wrong and apologize. But with that seems to be a thing that isn't happening and it's just not fair.]

Fine.

On both accounts. If that's what you want to do, then so be it. I can see you'd prefer if it were a mutual thing, so we can both just ignore each other. Everybody wins here.
