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.

I can't say for sure, but I imagine it would be. I can say with absolute certainty that it's not something you'll ever have to worry about.

It would be a fate that would be forced upon me as divine punishment.

But then we'd have to watch the world burn as I retaliate, so perhaps it's for the best.

[wwistful]

It's a fate you'll become accustomed to in time. I'm sure you have enough Strider in you to see the humor in it and live a life unencumbered with bitterness.

[seeringlight]

Ah yes, I probably do.
But that would also be denying the more cynical part that I keep under my bed.

[wwistful]

Everybody has a cynical side. Some more than others, as I'm sure you know.

[Like, y'know. Him.]

[seeringlight]

I am very aware.
It seems to be a rather common trait for those in the House of Slytherin more so than the others, I've found.

[wwistful]

Of course, there is a great benefit to being realistic as opposed to unwaveringly optimistic.

[seeringlight]

Those with unmoving optimism are very interesting though. At least from an observational point of view.
