By no small measure of effort I seem to have been awarded the title of Slytherin Head of House. The timing is incredibly fitting, given that I'll have been teaching here for almost an entire year now. Who new that such honourable promotions would come so quickly, I had no idea I was considered a good fit for it.
[Which is to say he knew all along and he's been waiting for this to happen.]
As such, if any Slytherins are in need of advice or assistance, whether it be academic or not, are free to visit my office within reasonable hours. Any questions?


Ah. I suppose I should also give thanks to anyone who attended my birthday celebrations it february, I was pleasantly surprised by it.

Of course, that does not excuse anyone from their studies. Students of all classes should keep in mind that we will be focusing strictly on practicals this week. I would suggest you go over your previous months reading before attending or you may be surprised yourself upon entering the room, We will have an array of live subjects so I ask that you not only bring the necessary supplies but that you also bring your brains and make sure they're functioning for once in your lives. Mischief will not be tolerated when our classes are under the scrutiny of live magical creatures.

Congratulations.

Can I explore the edge of the forest?

[wwistful]

Thank you.

The forest? For what purpose?

[cantstarvethisfire]

I like going in to forests back home. I know this one is off limits, but three feet in shouldn't be too life threatening?

[wwistful]

You certainly can't go by yourself, but if you're able to convince a professor to monitor you then you may ask again.

[higherthaneverybody]

YOU'LL BE PERFECT FOR THE JOB.
especially as you're one of the only slytherins on staff.
CONGRATULATIONS.

[wwistful]

There are plenty of other Slytherin staff, thank you.

I see you're back to your usual, sincere self.

[higherthaneverybody]

THAT WAS SINCERE.
i genuinely do believe you'll do well.
BUT BELIEVE AS YOU LIKE.

[wwistful]

Of course. Where would I be without your continued support and commentary?

Yes, but you are your usual self also. That was what I had implied.

[plushaeusrumpified]

I think all there really is to say on the matter is congratulations. I'm not even surprised, I can't think of anybody more deserving of this than you.

We've both come a long way, haven't we? From when we first started workin' here. It's kinda funny looking back on what the two of us used to be like. Look at us now, huh? Who'da thought we'd both be nearly running this joint? It's almost impossible to believe.

I'm real proud of you, man.

[wwistful]

I'll take all the congratulations I can get, thank you. I thrive off them.

Indeed. If you'd suggested being a head of house around a year ago I'd have laughed in your face. And you probably would have punched me. Again.

The feeling is mutual.

[plushaeusrumpified]

Do you eat them for breakfast?

Before I punched you, I probably would've said something about you being a woman and how I don't hit 'em. Then I would've done it anyway. To be fair though? You totally deserved that punch. I stand by that even now.

[wwistful]

No. I don't.

You already did, as I recall. The first thing you ever said to me involved me being a drag queen or a woman and that I wore a skirt because I wrote in purple.
[Not that he holds grudges.]
That was a complete misunderstanding and I refuse to take all of the blame.

Define 'mischief' and how it differs from 'curiosity' as far as things not included in the current syllabus.

[wwistful]

You know perfectly well what mischief means, Holmes. Curiousity might as well be likened to mischief in that they both lead to foolish behaviour. You will stick to the lesson plan and if you are unable to restrain your curiousity you're free to ask questions.

[3potionproblem]

Will we be allowed to take any creatures to our dorms? Or at least parts of them?

[wwistful]

Absolutely not. Why would you ever want to do that?

[seeringlight]

I'm glad to know that our House will be under the charge of someone deserving.
I would hate my house to be misrepresented after all. No offense, seeing as you are a very good choice.

[wwistful]

I'm glad that you believe I am deserving, Miss Lalonde. I will indeed strive to represent what is, without a doubt, the most charming house in Hogwarts.

[seeringlight]

I believe one must merely continue to do what he is already doing. After all, you can never go wrong if you're Slytherin.

[God, Slytherins are so pompous sometimes.]

[wwistful]

Truer words have never been spoken. You are wise beyond your years, Miss Lalonde.

[toocoolforthis]

Congratulations, professor.

So we've finally gotten to the practicals? Good.

[wwistful]

Thank you, Strider.

Indeed. I had no idea you were awaiting them so eagerly. Have you already caught up with your bookwork?

[toocoolforthis]

Of course I've caught up with it. Besides, the practical's the most interesting part, why wouldn't I be looking forward to it?

casually tags everything late

[greaselightning]

congrats, pops!
so does that mean that eridan and myself get special treatment?

[HE'S JOKING... MAYBE.]

shame on u

[wwistful]

If by special treatment you mean you'll be judged more harshly than any other student then, yes. You will get special treatment.
