A public service announcement, since it seems that all of you are extremely in need of the reminder:
There is less than a month left of school.
(You're welcome.)

To be precise, there are twenty-three days left. Slightly more than three weeks. Only seven of those are exams, so approximately 30% of our remaining days will be spent in torture.
In terms of hours, it's even less. 23 days is 552 hours. There are 40 total hours of exams remaining. Comparatively, that means 7% of our time, and all of it before the end of May.
I could compare that to the amount of time in your lifespan, or that the universe has existed, but I don't want to write that many fucking decimals.
It will be over soon. Don't give yourselves aneurysms.

Steadily, I'm falling under the idea that many people use the Doubling Charm to be cheap. Why would you duplicate your cup instead of just buying a second one? It's just going to decay over time. The origin of it is reasonable enough and I understand the practical and strategic uses, but from my studying, it seems most people misuse it. ~~Maybe that's just "muggle" of me.~~

Also, after going over the duties and the time requirements, I'm thinking of becoming a prefect.

P.S. Welcome back, seems most of you are back in your right mind or body.

Right. Now the castle seems to have stopped playing funny buggers ... Again.

Means it's time I set some homework. Because every time this happens, no one seems to ever show up for classes.

Right, for the ankle biters, that's my 1st through 3rd's:

I want you to do readings on the basics on turning animals into inanimate objects and what counts as an ethical stool shape for a parrot.

For my other tackers. 4th and 5th's:

I want my 4th's to do 4 inches on the practical uses of using cross-species switches in everyday life, because we'll be actually doing it in class soon. And my 5th's I want a list of pros and cons on using Geminio. At least four things on each side.

My 6th year nippers:

We're going to be looking at human transformations. So I want 6 inches on the differences between Animagi and Metamorphagi

7th years get nothing extra. just focus more on you're N.E.W.T reviews.

[[Submit your homework.]]

Well! That was all interesting, was it not? I think we have had more than our fair share of time to recover from whatever silly tricks the castle saw fit to play upon us recently though, would you not say? So I am afraid that I must assign you all some homework!

Do not fret, it's simple work to make sure your minds have not gone wandering from your studies!

I would like for my third to fifth years to write an essay detailing the uses of electricity in the home, and to give me examples of at least 2 electrical appliances that Muggles require every day. Not for leisure, but for practical use. Do not turn in less than two paragraphs.

Sixth and seventh years, I would very much enjoy twice as much information on the subject of television and how integral it is to the lives of Muggles. Your paper should successfully answer this question: "Is television a necessity or a luxury to a Muggle?" The choice is yours, and your papers will be graded on how well you convey your opinion to me!

Prepare for an in-class discussion on these subjects next time we meet! And if you would care to earn some extra credit in class for participation, let me know and I will arrange for you to read your essay in front of the class. ♡

[[Homework Post btw, I forgot. New to this. D=]]

One day, just one day, my dear siblings will decide that maybe they won't inflict various torments on me the day before I go back to school.

Today is not that day.

I have to give them points for creativity, however. Charming permutation ciphers into all my books was a new one.

The end of the year is coming up pretty fast and I haven't really thought about what I want to do over the summer.

I was thinking about trying to get my band back together, but I really hate to do something like that since I'd just have to leave when school starts back up again in the fall.
Maybe we can get together for some weekend gigs though. If that happens it'll be an open invite to all of you.

...I guess I could always get a job. I've never had a conventional one before so it might be interesting. Maybe I could find one at a record store or a music shop. The employee discount would come in handy.

Maybe I could do some traveling. I'd like to check out Coachella in the United States but I bet it's too late to get tickets. I suppose there's always Groezrock festival and Rock Werchter in Belgium. I went to those last year and they were pretty awesome.

Anyone want to come with if I go?

shitknickers

Well ill be damned.
Its february already!
Isnt february meant to be some wholly love related month with a willy nilly holiday involving chocolates and things partway through somewhere?
Poppycock.
That seems awful silly to me. Why does there have to be a specific month to show the people you care for how you feel? I mean i guess it sort of makes it special or something.

No matter a holiday is a holiday!
What has everyone got planned for their sweethearts?

arrogantalloy

Well, I think I can say that was a great way to welcome back the term, don't you?

Because if nothing else, I know how to bring style.

And you know Thor, looks like your Christmas present actually works.

[He is of course referring to the Ravenclaw win.]

toocoolforthis

Well, I can't say I've ever been this late to school before.
Unfortunately, I can't claim to be awesome enough to have played hooky for half a year.
Maybe next year.
In the meantime, I'm back.
I'm sure you're all either completely ecstatic or completely disgusted, so please, contain your looks of horror and/or joy.
A simple "Sup, Dirk" will suffice.

Judging by the date on this calender beside me, I'm assuming this is some sort of temporary time shenanigan. Of course, this isn't to discredit more recent memories.
There is just really is no other explanation I can think of, as realistically speaking I shouldn't have woken up in my old dorm bed without reason.
Regardless, this is serving as a prime opportunity to catch up with everyone. I'm afraid my research has caused me to fall out of contact with many people.
If anyone is interested, I'd like to get a drink or two at the Three Broomsticks. It'd be on me.

To be honest, I've been waiting to observe some fundamental change.
As it turns out, twelve isn't so different from eleven.

[Despite the commotion of the event and half the student body being at an age entirely inaccurate to the norm, Jake is not only his proper age, but a year older today. Not that he's really told anyone. Instead, he spends most of the day sitting in the window near his bed with a small photograph, tying together a small collection of (fake, because it was far too cold for real ones) flowers together to make a wreath. When he was finished with that, and only then, did he venture out.]

Does it happen to be permitted to burn incense in the dormitories?
Its a bit of an occasion but i dont particularly want to get in trouble.

plushaeusrumpified

Yo, it's been entirely too long since you all got a real homework assignment. Not something like those little study assignments I've been giving you. It's about time for another one of the real deals.

Since you're all on the same level, this goes to everyone. You've been studying basic phrases in Mermish, right? So it's time to put those to use. I want everyone to start inco

[But then the message stops for a few long moments. Ink drips onto the page as if he's dropped his quill. It's a while before anything more than inksplatters appears.]

Alright, that was weird! I just had like, a massive head rush or something. I don't remember coming into this room! And I don't even know whose journal this is, but I guess I got a teacher's journal by accident? I don't even know. But whatever. I hope they don't mind me using it, because I can't find my own.

This guy writes a lot of weird things.

Oh, I probably shouldn't be reading this, should I? Sorry! Please don't give me detention. I'm just kinda confused, I wasn't thinking. I'll pretend I didn't read anything.

So anyway, I've been here a few months now and weird things are still happening. Like me waking up in this room randomly, for example. Is that normal? Should I see a doctor? I know this place is magical, but still it's really freaking weird.

I should probably get out of here now that I think about it. I don't wanna be caught in some teacher's office without permission...

Also does anyone have any ink I can borrow? Because this black is really boring.

[So yeah, Bro is back to being a first year in the middle of writing a homework assignment and is kinda confused. On an OOC note, responses will come from

So it would appear that the High Inquisitor is no longer gracing us with his presence. An unfortunate event indeed.
It is perhaps a little late to point out that the majority of you acted with absolute disregard for common sense, so I'll spare you the lecture for now. Though I do wonder if etiquette lessons are necessary.

On that note, I will announce that the wedding is now unnecessary and is in fact, cancelled. If you hadn't figured out why by now, there's no hope for you. Of course, we were never intending on allowing it to go so far, that would have been ridiculous.

I'm sure you're all very disappointed.

[If you are Constance, Bro or an Ampora kid he would have found you and talked to you prior to posting it. Whether you want to handwave that or not is up to you, but I'm down with doing action posts here.]

givesyouaboner

I'm sure you guys have seen Professor Vantas's family tree assignment. I have to admit I'm at a loss of how to proceed with it.
Have you guys started?

_{[filtered to Bro]}

Do you know anything about my mother?

~~Leave me here to die~~

33 sucks.

Out of all of the numbers out there, it's probably the worst number by far. I mean, what's even the point of it? 32 is better. 31 is better. 33 is absolutely pointless in its existence. And it's an odd number. Odd. Odd numbers suck, but 33 is the suckiest odd number out of all of them.

There's nothing even ironic about it. I can find irony in every other number. But not this one. It's like anti-irony in its most natural form.

We're wizards, we should be able to magically take this number out of existence.

Someone invent a spell for that.

So I'm a bit late in making this introduction.

Hi.

I'm Professor Captor, and I'll be teaching Flying. I know it's a bit late to just show up and start teaching, so I'll apologize for that. There were a few complications, but I'm here now.

I'm also offering one on one practice, if anyone wants to really improve their techniques, or are too nervous and shy to ask for help in class. So, just. Feel free to contact me if you need help.

Flying classes will resume on Monday, so I hope to see everyone in this coming week.

I must apologize for the delay in addressing the Halloween incident. You can rest easy knowing that I've been hard at work on the matter ever since it happened, contacting the Ministry and coming to the best course of action.

The Ministry and I believe that a powerful, dark magical object was brought into the school as a prank intended to make the ministry look like a fool for disregarding the incident at camp. The situation got out of hand, as you are all well aware of. As such, the Ministry has decided that in the next couple of weeks, security in the castle is going to be tightened considerably. Random trunk checks will be conducted and anyone leaving or entering the castle will be searched thoroughly, as will mail.

Finally, I will be questioning everyone personally. I will find out who did this, and I will make sure they are punished accordingly, expulsion being the minimum.

If you have any questions or information regarding the incident, you can ask here. If you have information, see me in my office immediately.

I'VE BEEN SEVERELY SLACKING IN ASSIGNING HOMEWORK AND FOR THAT I APOLOGIZE, NOT THAT MAY OF YOU HAVE REALLY MINDED. SO!

THIS ASSIGNMENT WILL SPAN ALL YEARS AND ALL HOUSES. I WANT YOU ALL TO TAKE A LOOK AT YOUR OWN FAMILY HISTORY AND TRACK DOWN THE FIRST TRACES OF MAGIC IN YOUR FAMILY. FROM THAT I WANT YOU TO MAKE A FAMILY TREE THAT STRETCHES DOWN FROM THEM TO YOU. I'M AWARE THAT THERE ARE AN AWFUL LOT OF SIBLINGS AND COUSINS AND OTHER RELATIONS HERE AT HOGWARTS SO DON'T BE AFRAID TO ASK FOR HELP FROM ONE ANOTHER WHEN FILLING IN GAPS. THE SAME GOES FOR FAMILY NOT AT SCHOOL. WRITE HOME, ASK QUESTIONS, ASK FOR FAMILY HEIRLOOMS OR PAPERS YOU CAN STUDY.

FOR STUDENTS WITH A HEAVY MAGICAL LINEAGE, DON'T FORGET TO INCLUDE NON-MAGICAL RELATIVES AND THOSE WITHOUT A LONG HISTORY OF MAGIC IN THEIR FAMILY, DO A BIT OF SEARCHING. YOU NEVER KNOW WHERE YOU MIGHT FIND A GREAT-UNCLE TWICE REMOVED WHO HAD A HABIT OF TURNING TAX COLLECTORS INTO NEWTS.

ONCE ALL IS SAID AND DONE YOU'LL PRESENT YOUR FINDINGS IN FRONT OF THE CLASS. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS DON'T BE AFRAID TO ASK HERE OR IN PERSON. MY DOOR IS ALWAYS OPEN.

[Added later:]

SINCE I'VE BEEN GETTING A LOT OF THESE QUESTIONS I FEEL LIKE IT'LL BE EASIER TO JUST LEAVE THE ANSWERS HERE.

1. PRESENTATION TO THE CLASS IS NOT MANDATORY IF YOU'RE NOT COMFORTABLE WITH IT. I'M OT GOING TO FORCE ANYONE INTO PUBLIC SPEAKING AND IT WILL NOT EFFECT YOUR GRADE.

2. STUDENTS WHO WERE ADOPTED MAY DO THEIR TREES BASED ON THEIR ADOPTIVE FAMILIES. FAMILY DOESN'T END WITH BLOOD AFTER ALL.

3. MUGGLEBORN STUDENTS SHOULD DO THE ASSIGNMENT AS NORMAL, JUST KEEP A LOOK OUT IN YOUR RESEARCH FOR ANY POSSIBLE MAGICAL RELATIVES.

ANYONE UP FOR A TRIP TO THE THREE BROOMSTICKS TONIGHT? I COULD USE ~~A DRINK~~ SOME COMPANY.
