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.

I look forward to your classes, professor.

Are we going to have duels in class so those not competing can practice as well?

[bundangos]

REALLY? NO ASSIGNMENTS!? YOU ARE THE BEST!

So students who aren't in the tournement get to learn how to do it too? That's SO exciting! I can't wait!!

[Bro wasn't going to read this. He was going to skip right over it. But goddamn if the purple text hadn't drawn him in. And you know what? Once he's read it, the urge to be a huge, immature dick is just too great to ignore.]

Fuck.

[allisnotlost]

theres so much of this entry that is relevvant to my interests but one thing in particular is stickin out the most

gonna take a guess and say that youre goin to be wway more busy than usual from here on out right

[he has priorities!!]

[wwistful]

[Guess what, Bro? If you act on the same level as students, you're going to be treated as one. Murdoc is going to cast a filter on you now, enjoy it.]

Say it again, I dare you.

[wwistful]

If only because the classwork alone will be daunting enough to justify a few weeks without them.

Yes. I feel it's relevant to the subject and it's important to know should the situation ever arise.

Fudge

[Inkblots]

Oh you baboon.

[wwistful]

I'm glad, Rogers.

We will be, yes. Provided I find the whole class to be capable of doing so.

[wwistful]

You say that as if I ever have free time.
I'll certainly be busier but I imagine I'll be combining classes, so it's not going to be all that different apart from the mountains of assignments I'll need to read.

Why do you ask?

[wwistful]

That's awfully rude of you and I think you should apologise.

[allisnotlost]

wwell you usually do
i mean enough for me i guess
but
um

no reason in particular

[allisnotlost]

im not sure if i find this hilarious or stupid

[wwistful]

I'm at the school all day, all week and almost every month, Eridan.

Besides, I thought you wanted space from your old man after our last conversation.

[wwistful]

Let it be a lesson to you.

[allisnotlost]

[allisnotlost]

wwhenevver i get really upset or somethin

[wwistful]

So you want space from me but you want for me to help you? I had no idea you could be so cruel, Eridan. I'm not sure my heart can stand helping you when you're like this.

[wwistful]

If you insist. I really shouldn't encourage students openly mocking professors, though.

[allisnotlost]

[wwistful]

You're asking me to stop talking again? The orders never stop, do they? I'm certain you won't be content until I'm silenced forever.

If I shut up I won't help you.

[allisnotlost]
