Announcement

[oh_earwax]

I must congratulate the students and staff for the success of the weekends fundraiser. The school earned enough to keep the Library and Hospital Wing up to date for quite some time.

Students are to remember that exams are this week and to study hard. The next Minister of Magic could be born with an O on one of this weeks exams.

On Friday, Breakfast and Lunch will be served in your common rooms, so that the Great Hall can be set up for the dance. I know that everyone is excited for it, and hope that you all remember the train leaves the next morning. So don't stay up too late.

Lastly, I have an announcement for our staff. Hogwarts annual staff retreat has been booked and scheduled for June 25th to June 29th. The location is a surprise, so Portkeys will be set up at each of your homes, for quick transportation. It is of course, mandatory, for those who are new to Hogwarts staff, and very fun.

PROFESSOR LEIJON-VANTAS AND I ARE INCREDIBLY EXCITED FOR THE TRIP, HEADMASTER.
WE JUST NEED TO FIND A SITTER FOR THE CHILDREN AND CATS.

I'M 14, UNCLE. I CAN LOOK AFTER MYSELF.

[nosigntospeakof]

I KNOW, KARKAT, BUT YOUR AUNT AND I WOULD FEEL BETTER IF THERE WAS AN ADULT WITH YOU TWO FOR THE FOUR DAYS WE'LL BE GONE.

[selfhatred]

WHAT ABOUT IF WE GO TO JOHN'S PLACE?
MR EGBERT'S NOT A TEACHER.

[nosigntospeakof]

IF MR. EGBERT SAYS IT'S ALRIGHT.

As in, all of the staff? In the school? Together for four days?



Is that really necessary.

[arachnoble]

Congratulations, you can read.

[wwistful]

I am questioning the validity of the statement. Congratulations on your ability to understand contextual questioning.

[arachnoble]

What is there to question?

I don't know why it's so hard for you to understand that a mandatory staff retreat applies to all of the staff.

[wwistful]

Because it's absurd and I have better things to do with my time.

[arachnoble]

I'm sure you do.

Regardless, the Headmaster says this is mandatory so you can't stay at home and mope.

[wwistful]

I had no intention of doing so. I'm thiry five, not five.

[arachnoble]

I know, but that doesn't mean that's not what you spend most of your time doing.

[wwistful]

I do not mope.

[aboutwhynot]

Given my reputation, maybe it would be best if I simply stayed home instead. We wouldn't want to incite a panic among the staff, after all. Wouldn't want to spoil anyone's fun.

[itsintheblood]

Not many of us scare easily, I think you`ll be safe to come along.

[aboutwhynot]

I know I'll be safe. The real question is will the rest of you be. Wer Feuer frißt, scheißt Funken, so don't try to say I didn't warn you.

[itsintheblood]

Of course we'll all be fine.

[aboutwhynot]

Well don't you sound so certain. Were you planning to bring a straight-jacket along for the trip "just in case"?

[itsintheblood]

I left mine back home in America.

[aboutwhynot]

I'd plan on grabbing it before our little camping trip then if I were you; I really would hate to make you break your promise about everyone's safety.
