First let me say a great big hello to all of you! I hope you're all excited for the Summer holidays. I certainly am! But I feel like before everyone leaves for the holidays next month, we have some things that we need to discuss. I hope that none of you mind that I took the liberty of having the house elves deliver tea to all of you as, as well as giving you a note telling you to check for this entry. So all of you should be here soon, I should hope. Unless you intend to ignore this, but please don't. I would be disappointed in you.

Anyway, the point of this is to discuss the going ons lately! We have not had a staff meeting in a while and I figured one over the journals would be much better! That way, we can sit in the comfort of our own offices and discuss things. I think the biggest thing we should discuss is this fighting.

So much fighting going on! We need to figure out a way to make the students get along. Preferably before the end of the year, or else they will all go home stewing on things and that is not healthy at all. While I know that Mister Strider just won the egg competition, I think perhaps he needs talking to. I don't think we should dock the points though, as those were certainly well earned and he and Mister Robinson were a very good example. Mister Vantas was most definitely out of line in some of the things he said, so I feel all the blame does not belong solely on Mister Strider.

This is just touching on the surface, I think. If anyone else has things they want to bring forth and lay on the table, you are more than welcome to! At any rate, I am done for now and will wait patiently for everyone to respond.

Today was another self realised lesson that I should stop going into book stores alone.

If it wasn't bad enough I missed out on the sorting ceremony on the first night, due to finding myself in Flourish and Blotts. I get back to my room to realise not only have I realised that I have spent all my day off in Tomes and Scrolls, but I have spent far much more money than I intended. I had only intended to pick up a charms book I ordered.

I suppose however I can't be all that upset, I did find some fantastic reading materials. Which means when I don't have to grade papers, I will be most pre-occupied.

While I understand that as students you are on holiday for Easter, I would like to take this opportunity to express that you do have a small assignment due the week after we return from break.

This does not mean you can hold off on the assignment until the night you return.

For all students of my classes, prepare for me an analysis, no less than ten inches of parchment, of how you might find and use runes in Easter ceremonies. Where can you see them playing a role, and where do you think their magic might be useful in the ceremony. A piece of advice, look into the pagan celebration of Oustre if you're feeling stuck.

That is your first part of the assignment, due the first day of class after break.

The second part will involve choosing one of those elements of runic magic that you felt would be helpful during Easter, and composing research.

Not an incredibly difficult assignment for my students who have been paying attention.

Enjoy your holiday.

[New writing all over the journal, kind of large and...enthusiastic is a good word. Also, doodled (and fairly well, at that) around the words are sketches of fairy wings. Yeah.]

{>Haha! I guess requesting two classes was a little much.<}
{>They didn't need more Care of Magical Creatures professors but a spot was open for flying.<}
{>So come Monday I expect you all to be there with your brooms and smiling faces! I'm even giving you time to pick them up at home over break!<}
{>No excuses. Flying might not be mandatory for upper years but it's the fun you all need to keep going with your studies!<}
{>You know what they say about all work and no play.<}
{>Autographs to everyone who does well first day.<}
{>Oh. Right. I should introduce myself.<}
{>Peter Banks at your service!<}
{>Yes. The quidditch player and yeah I'm taking a break from that to teach the next generation of fine flyers.<}
{>I know you won't disappoint.<}

For 3rd years, due Friday:
- Describe the historical uses of Amortentia in regards to politics in the 14th and 15th centuries. Chose one particular incident to focus on. What might have been different in European history had this philter never been invented? What has the so-called selfless emotion of love destroyed? Include a discussion on the difference between “real” love and induced affection.

For 5th and 6th years:
- The Mirthful Elixir is seldom used in modern Potions, but enjoyed a brief vogue in the 17th century. Describe the historical rise and fall of this potion, and how it influenced culture. How might induced laughter and humor be used today to benefit humanity? To harm it?

For 7th years
- The Confusing Concoction is an often over-looked potion, with many potential uses. Detail one unorthodox usage of this draught, bonus points for an original application. It is said that the mind should always be clear, but what might be the benefits of scrambled thoughts and a view of reality turned on its head? Discuss.

At least 20 inches. Any questions may be directed here, or addressed to me after class.

Well, now, boys and girls, it would seem you have yourselves a new Professor here.

I am Doctor Facilier, and I will be teaching you what you might call... Muggle magic. Now, don't you scoff at that. Voodoo, Tarot card reading... They're just as much magic as any wand-waving you all do, and even more so than peering into a crystal ball or tea leaves.

Voodoo is my specialty, now, but I also practice Hoodoo and read Tarot cards, and I'm not too shabby with Shamanism, if I do say so myself. And we'll be covering all that and more in class.

'Course, my class isn't for everyone. It takes a great deal of skill to master these arts, not to mention an open mind.

Now, who's up for the challenge?

A general note

I have acquired some potions for cat allergies that should last long enough for students to attend class so I will be strict with attendance. Being allergic to Fluffy and Karkitty Leo are not accepted as excuses.

I would also ask that you don't f33d the cats. A few are looking a bit rounder than usual and catching animals on the grounds is already plumping them up as it is. Thank you fur for your time!
