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.

[The following comes in at about 7AM.]

26 October

Good Morning! It is not often I am so alert at such an early hour, however: today, I am seventeen. When I return home I can legally drive my father's automobile! If I am lucky, perhaps I will get one of my own.

For now, I will settle for treats. Please leave any sweets you may have for me on my bed, or if you are not in Slytherin then please feel free to respond to arrange a time for me to collect them elsewhere.

I enjoy chocolate. Preferably bold in flavor and not too sugary. Even better if it has taken the form of a baked good.

I do not trust any of you to make Apfelstrudel so please do not attempt it.

Regards,
Roderich

Bună ziua, journal!

It is a good day today! Sun is The sun is bright, birds sing, general goodness! I am wondering if anyone has seen my owl. He seems to have gotten himself into a tight corner. He's rather small, da yes? He looks very strange for owl, easy to pick out. He's small and black, and he's missing feathers in some spots. I promise he is healthy! He is an owl from mountains in Romania.

If you see him, please come find me and tell me! I have mail I would like to send, it's very inconsiderate of him to hide away.

Mulțumesc Thank you!

I'm sure you've all be wondering why I've had the ground outside of Greenhouse One plowed as I did. To answer that, I'm asking for volunteers to help finish the job. You're to be planting magical seeds within the garden. When they grow, the vines will snake over the the greenhouse, and then roses will sprout from within the vines. These plants are of my own creation, and once fully grown they're quite lovely. They are charmed to collect sunlight and filter it into the greenhouse as well, so they won't be blocking out the sun like you might expect.

I would like for a few students to volunteer for this task. Consider it penance for all of the trouble caused a few days ago.

Also, every student in my class are to meet this Monday in Greenhouse three. We will be planting and growing orchids for Professor Donoghue and Professor Matteris's wedding.

Love, when it's genuine, is a beautiful thing, wouldn't everyone agree?

[This is slightly awkward, just... slightly. There's a lot of inkblots and scratched out words to the point of where the whole beginning isn't readable. But she finally finds her words.]

Um. With all the weird things that are going on around here has anyone happened to have... like, the clothing they're wearing be changed? I know I didn't put on what I'm wearing today and that's really kind of disturbing that it happened without my knowledge. There's absolutely no way this could have happened, mind you.

Onto another topic, then, to make this... less awkward. With a lot of us coming from different countries and cultures, what kind of cultural things are different for you compared to other people around here? I know it's been a weird experience for me to get used to all the different things, considering it's not just the fact I'm from a different country but one part of my family are part of a distinct different culture. Even though we don't... really practice or adhere to it all the time, it's easier dad says.

Call me curious.

[Next part is specifically written in Polish, a little wonky but it's done for good reason instead of having to write on something else.]

Feliks. I got a letter today from home and you won't believe this but apparently one of the families from father's clan was asking about me. I'm really hoping it's not an attempt to ask what I think they want to ask.

[Hope you're ready for some scribbling, Hogwarts. Because her writing isn't exactly the easiest to read.]

So! Before I actually get into some important things, is everyone ready for Quidditch season? And I don't just mean the school, I mean all over the place. I know probably a lot of you like your silly little English teams, but there's a lot better teams out there than them. Like, say, the Vratsa Vultures for their amazing pioneering of the long goal and being so kind to give newbies a chance to prove themselves in the big leagues or you could go for the Grodzik Goblins who had the amazing Josef Wronski that all of you seekers can thank for inventing the Wronski Feint.

But, hey, who am I to tell you who to cheer for? Though I have to say we're going to have some problems if you're on the International scene for Germany or England, not that they could compare to Bulgaria. Or a fan of the Heidelberg Harriers, Gorodok Gargoyles, or Quiberon Quafflepunchers. ... If you like that last one, you seriously need to get a better sense of taste and learn what real Quidditch is about. Wearing bright pink uniforms and acting like ballerinas on the pitch is just an insult to the game, you know.

Onto some real business while I've got some time. Has anyone possibly seen my cat Edit around lately? I haven't seen her in a few days and she's not the type to stay out for so long and not come back to me for at least some food or something. She's a female Siamese and should be wearing a red, white, and green collar with a little cross and bell on it. Any information is highly appreciated.
