I would just like to let you all know that I am going to do everything within my power to make sure you are all safe. If any of you would like to talk privately, I am here. I know this is a difficult and scary time, and some tea and talking is a great way to calm the nerves.

Additionally, and this is nothing but a personal favour to me, and not an official rule, but... I would like to ask that until this issue is resolved and the culprit is caught, please do not hide all of your conversations over the journals with a privacy spell. When everyone is hiding things from us Professors, it looks very suspicious! And it ultimately makes it all the harder to track the person responsible down.

Obviously this is not mandatory, but it would help very much.

Azula, if you would be so kind to meet me in my office for bit of tea, I would be delighted.

Please have a little patience, Azula. It's quite rude to pester the host.

[Nonetheless, he finishes up around that time, and floats a tray of crumpets and tea over to the table, and sits down across from Azula.]

Cream? Sugar?

[ACTION]

[crazula]

I'll take it black.

[ She takes a cup irritably and takes a gulp - wincing at the strength of the tea and the heat of the water. Oops.

She'll just.. delicately take a crumpet now. ]

Thank you.

[jasmineofthewest]

Oh, how very daring.

[He carefully adds a bit of cream and sugar to his, and deliberately takes his time stirring it in.]

So, what sort of magic have you been learning lately in school? Anything interesting?

[crazula]

[ She takes smaller sips of the tea now, trying not to show how bitter she finds it ]

Nothing I can't handle, I assure you - and nothing out of the ordinary, either.

Why do you ask?

[ACTION]

[jasmineofthewest]

[He takes a sip of tea, and is silent for a good, long while.]

I'm sure you know exactly why I'm asking, Azula. If you've been teaching yourself unforgivable curses in secret and finally decided to put one into practice, then... Not only as your teacher, but as your uncle, I deserve to know. Because that is dangerous even for you.

[ACTION]

[crazula]

[she puts the teacup down and takes a bite out of one of the crumpets, rolling her eyes as she listens to her uncle's concerns ]

Ugh, you don't really think there's any truth in that halfblood's ridiculous accusations, do you uncle?
No. I am not stupid enough to be practicing unforgivable curses with the trace still on me, even if I were to think I could get away with studying them here. Even father knows I wouldn't do something that risky.
