Hello, darlings! I hope you are all having a very fun and safe summer holiday so far. My name is Milla Vodello, and starting in the fall I'll be your new Charms professor! Well, for some of you, anyway. I will be sharing classes with Miss Matteris, and I'm not sure how we are splitting them yet. Don't worry, though, I'm sure you'll get just as rewarding a class whichever one of us you're assigned to, darlings! I am looking forward to meeting you when the new term starts! And of course, if you'd like, you can get a head start by talking to me with the journals. Don't expect me to play favorites, though! [ And she laughs brightly. Gosh, sure is lots of friendliness and cheer in here. ]

So, who here is doing something fun for their holidays, mm?

[ filtered to teachers; ]

Hello, hello! I haven't played with this too much yet, but I certainly see a lot of familiar faces from my own days at school here. Unless my eyes are playing tricks, of course! What a lovely coincidence, that so many of us from around the same time are back here now. It's almost like a reunion! Anyway, how is everyone feeling about the retreat?

Milla!!!

[Oh gosh oh gosh oh gosh it's Milla he's missed Milla so much oh gosh!!!

Sorry, he sounds like he's fourteen all over again.]

Sal, darling, is that you?

[ Aww, one of her favorite baby ducklings. How could she ever forget him? ]

It is! How long's it been, 14, 15 years?

[He would have been heartbroken if she had.]

Far too long. How have you been, baby? I was so busy after I graduated that I never got a moment to check in on you or Didi or your shy little friend Art before you all left school, too.

I've been fantastic! Graduated from school, did some traveling with Di and Art. We had a little girl, Di and I, then we got married. We wanted to invite you to the wedding but the owl had the worst time trying to find you. I did some activist work, Di started up her own catery. Now we're both teachers here! It's wonderful, especially because it means we get to spend plenty of time with Nepeta and my nephew Karkat. I cover History of Magic and she teaches Care for Magical Creatures. Art was here a few weeks ago for the fundraiser we had, a pity you missed him.

But how've you been, Milla?

Oh, you know, darling, living a life of excitement and adventure! I went back to Brazil for a little while, that's probably why your owl got lost, and then I came back to Britain to train as an Auror. It was important and interesting work, but I certainly envy your stress level in comparison! I'm glad to hear everything has turned out so well for you. I take it I'll be meeting your daughter and nephew soon, mm?

Unfortunately there are a lot of former students here.

"Unfortunately?" I think it's wonderful!

It really isn't.

Would you rather I resign before even beginning classes, darling?

I never said that.

Well, I am a former student, baby.

We can discuss class splits at the retreat, or right now over the journals.

And I am not looking forward to the retreat, personally. I have more important things to do.

Even if a lot of it doesn't sound terribly fun, it is what you make of it, after all. On the other hand, I can certainly appreciate having more pressing responsibilities.

How have you been, Sybille? I left the Aurors a year ago or so myself, and I didn't get to hear much about your recovery while I was in Brazil.

I have a child to take care of. I'd rather be with her than listening to the History teacher make a fool of myself.

My recovery went well. There wasn't much St. Mungo's could do I couldn't do myself. [She's never been good with these sort of things...Buh.] I heard about your loss.

I never knew you had a daughter, darling! That certainly is important to look after.

That's good to hear. You always were good at coming up with something. [ A little pause. ] And, well...these things happen. Things have been taken care of, now.

You misunderstand, Milla. Vriska is my cousin's daughter. Her last caretaker passed and she is in my care now. You might remember her mother, Arachne? She was two years below me, and a Hufflepuff.

Knowledge is power, after all. Well. Now you can focus on taking care of things for you, can't you? [How does sounding caring work.]

I actually have no idea what is going to happen this summer.
I'm sure the professor will enjoy sharing classes with you, Professor Voldello.

Well, we did work together for some years before this.
Are you Vriska then, darling?

I didn't think she pl8yed well with others.
I am.

[And then yellow just floods the page in one big goop, as if someone knocked over a whole lot of honey colored ink.]

[Although apparently someone isn't so totally out of it as to not write anything small in the corner.]

oh shiit
oh shiit!!

[ Can you hear Milla giggling at you, Art? Because she is. ]

Darling, I'd almost think you weren't happy to see me. And after we had such fun in Brazil! What's the matter?

[There's just a moment as he rushes to clean everything before he switches to voice. Oh god what.]

Nothing. I jutht didn't expect to thee you joining the nutjob parade. Don't you have really thiny important Auror buthineth to do or thomething?

[Wow he is just so bad at this.]

Baby, I quit the Aurors a year ago, remember? I was in Brazil because my papai passed, when we met.

[...SO BAD AT THIS]

Oh. Right. I thought you would've rejoined or thomething. Very glamourouth lifethtyle, or thomething. I wouldn't really know.

Tho. Charmth. Thuitsth you.

...Because you are good at them. You know.

[So bad.]
