[New writing all over the journal, kind of large and...enthusiastic is a good word. Also, doodled (and fairly well, at that) around the words are sketches of fairy wings. Yeah.]

{>Haha! I guess requesting two classes was a little much.<}
{>They didn't need more Care of Magical Creatures professors but a spot was open for flying.<}
{>So come Monday I expect you all to be there with your brooms and smiling faces! I'm even giving you time to pick them up at home over break!<}
{>No excuses. Flying might not be mandatory for upper years but it's the fun you all need to keep going with your studies!<}
{>You know what they say about all work and no play.<}
{>Autographs to everyone who does well first day.<}
{>Oh. Right. I should introduce myself.<}
{>Peter Banks at your service!<}
{>Yes. The quidditch player and yeah I'm taking a break from that to teach the next generation of fine flyers.<}
{>I know you won't disappoint.<}

SAL VANTAS, I TEACH HISTORY OF MAGIC.
IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN YOU MIGHT HAVE EITHER MY DAUGHTER OR MY NEPHEW IN YOUR CLASS WHEN THE HOLIDAYS ENDS.

{>History of Magic huh?<}
{>Do you at least try to make it engaging?<}
{>Excellent!<}
{>I look forward to teaching them a trick or several dozen!<}

I WOULD LIKE TO THINK I DO.
SINCE I STARTED HERE I'VE ONLY HAD ONE STUDENT FALL ASLEEP DURING MY CLASS.
BUT CONSIDERING IT WAS DAVE STRIDER AND QUIDDITCH SEASON I DIDN'T TAKE IT PERSONALLY.

I JUST FELT A COLD CHILL GO DOWN MY SPINE.
I'M NOT SURE IF IT WAS ONE OF THE HOUSE GHOSTS PASSING THROUGH OR THE THOUGHT OF NEPETA BEING AIRBORNE.

{>I remember trying to juggle classes and quidditch! Haha!<}
{>I'd like to say I was good at it but probably not!<}
{>And don't you worry!<}
{>She's in the best of hands.<}
{>I've got all my spells prepared to catch them if they should fall.<}
{>But they probably won't!<}
{>I know my way around flying well enough to teach them the best way.<}
