Three ♒

[wwistful]

Congratulations on surviving another year, students. I'm sure you'll appreciate your break. However, I would not want for you to become bored.

First, Second, Third and Fourth Years:
Review chapters three through to six of The Essential Defence Against the Dark Arts. Be sure to remember the essentials, you will be greeted with a quiz.

Fifth, Sixth and Seventh Years:
Review chapter nine of The Essential Defence Against the Dark Arts with great care. There will be a paper in regards to it.

On top of that, because you will be without the use of magic throughout the holidays, I would like for you to consider a question.
In a hypothetical dangerous situation, how would you defend yourself without the use of magic? I expect answers sent to this entry, those who fail to will be finding the answer the hard way.

[Private to Teachers]
If any of the more childish members of the staff have plans for the upcoming teacher prison camp, take my advice, just don't.
We're adults, honestly. If any of you have an nasty little plans you should consider a career change.

What? But we're on holiday!

[wwistful]

And?

[notapigeon]

We're not supposed to have work on Holiday. That's why they're holidays.

[just1c3w1tch]

(Cough) Could you narrow down the hypothetical situation any further...? Because I can think of quite a few situations that would all require very different responses.

[Voice]

[wwistful]

If I was more specific, it would be too easy.

[Voice]

[just1c3w1tch]

Hm.

Should I submit a list of solutions to as many dangerous situations as I can think of then?

[quasistellar]

It shouldn't have to be stated, really. But certain people...

teacher filter;

[wwistful]

Certain people make it seem as though the students are teaching the staff.

[quasistellar]

They most certainly do. I have to wonder what the thought process was that went into hiring those certain people...

[thesmallesttrickster]

Thank you for the heads up, Professor!

[wwistful]

You're welcome.

[givesyouaboner]

Do you honestly expect students to do that?
Like, realistically, everyone would just do it the night before your class.

_{[Nevermind that he's been devouring every book on the magical world he's come upon lately.]}

[wwistful]

When they do it isn't really my concern. Whether they do it is the problem I will have.

You are always so gloom and doom, Murdoc darling!!
I am sure everything will be fine and we will have a lot of fun.
And there's no need to call it a prison camp, sweetheart, I know for a fact you've been through much worse than staying with old classmates and talking to your fellow teachers!
Lighten up a little, okay baby??

Private

[wwistful]

I'm being realistic.
I don't really understand how any of that is meant to be fun, Milla.

DON'T BE SO DRAMATIC, MURDOC.
IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE ABOUT TEAM BUILDING AND BECOMING BETTER TEACHERS!
AND KARAOKE.

teacher filter;

[wwistful]

I'm not being dramatic.
Is that supposed to sound appealing?

[spangledplan]

What exactly would you consider the essentials, sir? Some folk have different ideas of what's the most important.

And, sir, I'd defend myself the way I always do. I prefer not to use crutches.

[wwistful]

All of it. The book is the essential dark arts, is it not?

That sounds wonderfully pathetic.

[Private]

[polariity]

"Plans"
Well that's a pretty vague description.

[Private]

[wwistful]

I thought the word vague was synonymous with you.

[bev_rage]

ok so
im not even a student yet and i already have gomework homework???

[wwistful]

Is it so difficult for you to comprehend?

[doctorkishitani]

That is a very good question, Professor Donoghue, but I think the answer would probably depend on what sort of danger we would be facing. Would the threat be adversarial or environmental?

[wwistful]

Which ever one you please, Kishitani.
