Good evening, students and faculty alike. You might have noticed a new face at the teacher's table this morning [ YOU PROBABLY DIDN'T NOTICE A NEW FACE AT THE TABLE AT ALL ] and I am that face? I Hello Oh bugger how on earth do I

My name is Professor Matthew Williams, and I'll taking up the Defense Against the Dark Arts position from this point forward. I apologize for stepping in so late in the year you see it was a last minute decision to accept Dumbledore's offer in the first p I wasn't exactly expecting for the war to end last October you see and I've quite enough of that business anyway, but I hope am sure that we'll be able to work something out in time soon. The application process was rath I still haven't quite warmed up to idea of

It's a pleasure to meet you, sir. I look forward to seeing you in class.

... Are you having some trouble with your quill?

[invisicanuck]

Oh pardon me, my owl had something to do with that little mess. [ SORRY KUMA ]

I extend the same sentiment to you, Miss Tomoe. It'll be a learning experience for both of us, I'm sure.

[witchafterall]

Ah, I see.

Well, I wish you luck then, Professor.

[tellsthestories]

Welcome to the school, Professor Williams!

I'm Wendy Darling, a third year Gryffindor. Did you attend Hogwarts as a child?

[invisicanuck]

Thank you, Miss Darling.

I did indeed! I was a Hufflepuff and acted as Hufflepuff's Quidditch captain for a time. My, that feels so long ago now.

[tellsthestories]

You're quite welcome!

Oh, marvelous! Hufflepuff seems like a lovely house, I'm sure, and Quidditch captain must have been awfully exciting.

aaa EXTREME BACKDATING I hope this is ok :c

[invisicanuck]

Ah, it was, though I'm sure Gryffindor has its full of fun. My brother was part of your house and he was Quidditch captain the same time as I was. You could imagine the te

[invisicanuck]

[ oh wait ]

Oh, pardon me, I didn't mean to ramble.

totally okay! c:

[tellsthestories]

Oh, it does! And how funny! I suppose Quidditch must run in your family, then?

It's quite fine, Professor, I don't mind!

[puckinyourmom]

...hey. I'm Puck. Your quill's dicked.

[invisicanuck]

Sorry I've realized.

Technical difficulties aside, it's a pleasure to talk to you, Puck. I'll see you in class, eh?

[puckinyourmom]

Oh, yeah. I'm in Slytherin, 6th year,

[quixotical]

We'll be working together again, huh!

[invisicanuck]

You could say that.

A little more paperwork than before though, eh.

DOOP AND THEN I BACKDATE i'm sorry too

[quixotical]

A bit!

[fashioneighsta]

Oh my goodness, I didn't see you at all! It's good to meet you, Professor, even though it's only through the journals. I am Rarity!

BACKDATING SRRY

[invisicanuck]

[ Matthew heaves an amused sigh at this response, but YOU DON'T KNOW THAT. ]

Please don't worry about it, Miss Rarity. I'm sure we'll become more acquainted in class, eh?

[fashioneighsta]

But of course! It's not as though I need to know how you eat.

[thornsofoglogoth]

Hello, Professor Williams.

My name is Rose Lalonde, 3rd year Ravenclaw. Would you be adverse to entertaining some questions I might have? They pertain to an independent research project.

Professor Fernandez said you might be able to help.

oh god i'm backdating so hard, sorry

[invisicanuck]

Did he, now.

Of course, Miss Lalonde. By all means, what is your question?

I'm backdating even harder :C you ok ari you seem really busy orz

[thornsofoglogoth]

Indeed. He's a particularly intriguing professor, but my most pertinent question at present relates to the lore surrounding the Eldritch creatures known as 'The Deep Ones' in the New England area of the United States.

He said that a good deal of the information surrounding them would fall into your territory, as the biological aspects of the creatures are relatively unknown.

Have you any insight on where I might start with this research?

Tell me if you don't want me to use the quirk! :3

[cuddlefishpeixes]

)(i, Professor, I'm Feferi! I'll be in your 3rd year class! It's nice to meet you!

HI I love Fef, but could you please not? ALSO I...APOLOGIZE FOR THE BACKDATING.

[invisicanuck]

It's a pleasure to meet you as well! I hope you come to enjoy my class, Miss Feferi.

Sure thing. Hope the courier and colour are fine!

[cuddlefishpeixes]

I'm sure I will! Defence is one of my favourites!

[kid8dik]

But I'm pleased to make your acquaintance. My name is Kid, Death the Kid. I'm in your 6th year Ravenclaw class.

[invisicanuck]

[ oh just for that, have an ink smear. Matthew has never been the shining pinnacle of neatness here. ]

Sorry it seems. I assure you my assignments will have more of a... professional polish.

Pleasure to meet you, Kid.

WHY DON'T I GET ANY APOLOGIES ;A; (she says as she backtags)

[kid8dik]

If you don't mind me saying so, your name sounds familiar. Were you in the ministry, Professor?

[mo_cara]

Oh, man, motherf- [There's an odd thing that happens as Gamzee's talking: every now and then what sounds like a bicycle horn obscures some of the things he's saying.] your quill is totally f-HONK-ed, dude. Anyway, were you the motherf-HOOOOONkK that no one was all looking at?

ahh sorry for the backdating :c

[invisicanuck]

[ What in Merlin ]
