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.

Now my feelings are all hurt
Don't you think you should apologize??

[Private]

[wwistful]

No. Even if you weren't being sarcastic.

[Private]

[polariity]

Gosh Murdoc
I am so bereft with grief I'm not sure what I might do come this retreat!!

[Private]

[wwistful]

Stop getting my hopes up.

Ah. That implies they hired you, doesn't it? No wonder they're sending us to training camp.

[Private]

[polariity]

You didn't realize that when I started communicating with you through a school journal?
No wonder they're sending us to training camp.

[Private]

[wwistful]

I wouldn't put hacking into school journals to be obnoxious past you.

Or you could have been a grounds keeper, that seems a little more likely.

[Private]

[polariity]

...Well well
That is actually an interesting idea for once Murdouche

Please I'm too brilliant for that
You're looking at the words of your new dueling teacher

I hope you've been studying up sweetums
I wouldn't want to school you too bad

[Private]

[wwistful]

Clearly I have a stronger grasp on the English language than you first thought.

Now I know I've reason to question the hiring staff's sanity. You, a class based around combat and impressionable students sounds like a dangerous combination.

I've been an auror for the past ten or so years, I would consider myself well studied. Not to say I'm going to pander to idle threats, of course.

Re: [Private]

[polariity]

Don't give yourself too much credit
The improvement is minimal

The hiring staff knew what they were doing
I've made it this far, I know how to handle myself

Well that's just disappointing
So you're not interested in a duel?

[Private]

[wwistful]

A pity. I thought I had come so far. You got my hopes up again.

I am fairly certain luck had something to do with that.

I'm not interested in doing anything with you. I've already been reprimanded fo

[That last line just trails off and is quickly scratched out. NOBODY NEEDS TO KNOW.]

[Private]

[polariity]

No luck
Just skill

[There's a brief pause, and in his writing, it's almost possible to hear his douchebaggy smile.]

Now don't tell me
You actually got yourself in trouble, you, Mister Wand Up His Ass??

[Private]

[wwistful]

I'm so convinced. Please tell me more lies, they're so very interesting.

You know, when someone crosses something out, it generally implies that they don't want to continue? Fascinating, isn't it?

[Private]

[polariity]

Just because you don't know what I've been doing with my life after graduation
Doesn't mean they're lies

I know but I simply don't care
Heheheheh I wonder how much shame you must have felt during it

[Private]

[wwistful]

That's probably got a lot to do with how little I care, anyway.

No. It was more pride than anythi

Stop.

[Private]

[polariity]

No please do go on
Were you defending your "honor", in relation to that pride, or were you simply embarrassed and your pride was hurt?

[Private]

[wwistful]

He punched me in the face so I punched him back.
That's all you need to know.

[Private]

[polariity]

That's all??
You got all huffy and indignant over a simple brawl??

[Private]

[wwistful]

I don't know how many people come up to you and punch you in the face (I am going to assume it's a lot)but it's pretty fucking annoying, actually.

[Private]

[polariity]

That is true
But you could have just told me that was it instead of scribbling it out

It's not a big deal
Seriously

[Private]

[wwistful]

I'm still at a loss as to why I should tell you anything.
You're barely tolerable as it is, I don't need for you to know these things.

[Private]

[polariity]

Because it's not a big deal
I mean outside of your little dramafests, it shouldn't be

[Private]

[wwistful]

Maybe not to you.
I tend to give a shit about how professional I appear in my workplace.

[Private]

[polariity]

And it's exactly because I don't give a shit
That it shouldn't be a big deal telling me about this sort of idiocy

I still think you're the stuffiest and pompous idiot in all of Hogwarts
One little incident doesn't really change anything

Re: [Private]

[wwistful]

I never implied that it changed me, I just wanted to complain about it.

You flatter me so, you ignorant waste of space.

[Private]

[polariity]

If you didn't think it affected something
You wouldn't have tried to scribble it out

Yes yes "ignorant waste of space"
One who managed to get you to spill
