Very amusing. I applaud whomever managed to move me all the way from Gryffindor tower to the Divination tower while I was asleep, but I am going to need to know the new password so that I can get back in and collect my belongings.

The heavyset female-identified guardian assigned to the Gryffindor portrait hole refuses to even give me a hint, as well. She is acting very strangely indeed. She looks as if she has seen a ghost.

DEAR STUDENTS AND FELLOW FACULTY,

I HAVE DISCOVERED THE GREATEST INVENTION OF MANKIND. IT'S ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS.
I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT I DID NOT DISCOVER IT SOONER.
IT LOOKS SOMETHING LIKE THIS:




MY SOURCES TELL ME MUGGLES CALL IT A "SLINKY."

oh.
oh crap.
guys!
if you see some boxes of bertie bott's beans, can you give them back to me?
and no matter what, don't open them!
you hear me?
don't.
open.
them.



[If your character DOES open them, they'll get some confetti and silly string thrown at their faces while a horn blares rather loudly. Shaking them will get you the same result.]

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.

As some of you may know, Sybille's thirty sixth birthday will be coming this week on the eighth. If you're a friend or acquaintance of hers, I invite you to join us for dinner in Hogsmeade if you are able.
If possible, dress nice and bring a gift. I'll pay for dinner but drinks are your own problem.

We will be meeting at 8pm at the restaurant called Le Nuit a few places away from the station. Don't be late, it's tacky.

I JUST REALISED THAT TODAY IS 23 OCTOBER. MY, HOW TIME FLIES. THE WINTER HOLIDAY WILL BE HERE BEFORE WE KNOW IT.
SPEAKING OF OCTOBER THOUGH, 19 OCTOBER WAS THE BEGINNING OF THE 997TH ANNUAL FREIMARKT IN BREMEN, GERMANY.
IN THE BREMER DIALECT, ONE WOULD SAY "ISCHA FREIMAAK" AND IN FACT YOU CAN SEE THAT WRITTEN EVERYWHERE, ESPECIALLY ON HEART-SHAPED GINGERBREAD COOKIES.
WHICH ARE QUITE DELICIOUS. I REALLY SHOULD HAVE SOME DELIVERED TO THE CASTLE.
BUT I DIGRESS.
IT SEEMS THE GERMAN MUGGLES HAVE A THING FOR 17-DAY CELEBRATIONS. WELL. MAYBE NOT. SORT OF. OKTOBERFEST IS ONLY 16 DAYS APPARENTLY.
LET ME AMEND THAT TO "CELEBRATIONS THAT GO INTO THE DOUBLE DIGITS."
OF COURSE THE REASONS FOR THE BEGINNING OF THESE FESTIVALS ARE VASTLY DIFFERENT BUT THE WAY THEY ARE CELEBRATED IS SIMILAR.
IN FACT I ATTENDED ONE SEVERAL YEARS AGO.
THERE WERE ALL THESE LIGHTS EVERYWHERE AND FOOD AND MANY DIFFERENT KINDS OF THINGS TO DRINK.
THERE WERE ALSO THESE CONTRAPTIONS, CALLED "ROLLER COASTERS" AND THEY SIMULATE TYPES OF FLIGHT.
IT IS, HOWEVER, NOTHING LIKE RIDING A BROOMSTICK.
SOME PEOPLE WEAR THESE THINGS CALLED "DIRNDLS" ALTHOUGH THIS TYPE OF TRADITIONAL CLOTHING IS FROM SOUTHERN GERMANY. THIS SIMILAR TO THE JUXTAPOSITION OF BAVARIAN BREWERIES HAVING RESTAURANTS IN FORMER PRUSSIA.
ALSO DIRNDLS ARE SPECIFICALLY FOR WOMEN.
YOU MAY WANT TO KNOW THIS; I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU MAY OR MAY NOT BE AWARE OF.
SOMETIMES THINGS CAN BE TRICKY WHEN DEALING WITH NOT ONLY MUGGLE CULTURE, BUT A DIFFERENT NATIONALITY'S MUGGLE CULTURE.
THERE SHOULD BE A TERM FOR THAT.
BE WARNED ABOUT THIS FESTIVAL; THERE MERCHANTS WEARING CLOTHING SIMILAR TO WIZARD ROBES WHO CLAIMED TO BE SELLING VARIOUS ELIXIRS.
FRANKLY, THIS WAS NOT THE CASE AND THE ACTUAL CONTENT IS NOT SOMETHING CHILDREN NEED TO GET THEIR HANDS ON.

THIS TIES INTO THE HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENT FOR ALL STUDENTS TAKING MUGGLE STUDIES. EVERYONE NEEDS TO RESEARCH A MUGGLE HOLIDAY OR FESTIVAL AND WRITE ABOUT IT. THINGS YOU SHOULD INCLUDE SHOULD OF COURSE, BE THE LOCATION SAID EVENT OCCURS IN. ALONG WITH THAT. BE SURE YOU WRITE ABOUT HOW IT STARTED, THE TRADITIONS THAT TIE INTO IT, AND ANY OTHER INTERESTING INFORMATION YOU COME UPON.
THERE IS NO MAXIMUM LENGTH; THE MORE DETAIL, THE BETTER.
THIRD AND FOURTH YEARS SHOULD WRITE AT LEAST 5 INCHES.
FIFTH THROUGH SEVENTH YEARS SHOULD WRITE AT LEAST 10.

IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FEEL FREE TO ASK.

No class this week. Sorry. Just reread the stuff we've been going over last week.

He's gone again.

I have no idea what to even think or feel right now. Why did it even happen in the first place if he was just gonna leave again?

Doesn't seem very fair to me.

But now I've got a kid who just lost his dad for the second time. I don't even know anymore. Why's it seem like being in this castle's nothing but suffering? It almost makes me wanna quit. Homeschool them from now on or something. At least I can count on myself not to screw with shit like this.

I just have a hard time wishing it didn't happen though. It was good while it lasted, I just

I dunno. Whatever.

I'm not entirely certain what kind of illusion this is, but it is a very convincing one. A...very. Convincing one. I have no idea how it was accomplished, but whoever did it should be commended for their creativity, as well as for their talent.

It has come to the Ministry's, and therefore my, attention that Hogwarts is in need of some... Assistance. Given the Headmaster's unfortunate inability to keep things under control at camp and even now under his very own roof, the Ministry has seen fit to appoint me High Inquisitor.

I can assure you that this is a very good thing, despite what you may be thinking and on behalf of the Ministry I would like to formally apologize for the events at camp. It is unfortunate that his carelessness would result in such an unfortunate occurrence. I can assure you that while I'm here, none of you will get so out of control.

You may have heard that it was dark magic responsible, but I can promise you that this was a lie made up only to justify a few rowdy teenagers. This will not be tolerated while I'm here, believe me. Everyone's safety is of my utmost concern, and it's up to me to prune the thorny hedges and keep everything nice and orderly.

With that said, I do not tolerate disobedience of any kind, and if I catch any kind of behaviour like what was displayed at camp, the consequences will be severe. This is the only warning I am going to give anyone. I fully expect to get along with every student here, however, so do not let my faith go unrewarded.

Finally, along with my position as High Inquisitor, I have also been appointed Herbology Professor. But considering the importance of the position, it would be best for you to refer to me as Inquisitor Snow rather than Professor.

WELL IT IS THAT TIME OF YEAR AGAIN. YOU KNOW, THE ONE WHERE ALL YOU MUNCHKINS ARE HERE AT THIS SCHOOL.
I HOPE ALL OF YOU HAVE BEEN VERY STUDIOUS STUDENTS AND HAVEN'T LANDED YOURSELVES IN DETENTION SO SOON INTO THE SCHOOL YEAR!
THAT BEING SAID, IT IS TIME FOR HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENTS FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE TAKING MY CLASS.
I WOULD RATHER NOT HEAR COMPLAINTS BECAUSE THAT IS RUDE.

YEARS 3-4, CHOOSE AN ARTICLE FROM THE ISSUE OF PEOPLE I DISTRIBUTED IN CLASS EARLIER AND SUMMARIZE THE CONTENT. AFTER, STATE YOUR OPINION ON HOW YOU THINK THE CONTENT COMPARES TO WIZARD SOCIETY, IF AT ALL. YOUR WRITING SHOULD BE AT LEAST FIVE INCHES BUT NOT EXCEED TEN.

YEARS 5-7, YOU HAVE THE SAME ASSIGNMENT, EXCEPT THE WRITING MUST BE AT LEAST TEN INCHES. I EXPECT YOU TO APPLY KNOWLEDGE AND EVIDENCE FROM PREVIOUSLY READ TEXTS AND YOUR OWN EXPERIENCES. DO NOT FORGET TO READ BOMBPROOF YOUR HORSE AS ONE OF YOUR FUTURE ASSIGNMENTS WILL BE EXAMINING MUGGLE EQUESTRIAN CULTURE, BUT YOU WILL BE ASSIGNED THE ACTUAL WRITING LATER.

REMEMBER, IF YOU HAVE ANY MUGGLE ITEMS YOU WOULD LIKE TO BRING TO CLASS TO SHARE, BY ALL MEANS DO SO. CLASS TIME IS ALWAYS BEST IF WE HAVE INTERESTING THINGS TO DISCUSS!!!

OH. AND THE ASSIGNMENTS ARE DUE NEXT MONDAY.

I THINK WE'VE ALL HAD ENOUGH OF THESE FUCKING PETITIONS.
1. THIS IS A SCHOOL, NOT A ZOO.
2. NOBODY CARES.
3. DON'T WHINE THAT WE DIDN'T GET COOL ANIMALS LIKE HUFFLEPUFF AND RAVENCLAW DID. IT'S ANNOYING AND MAKES YOU LOOK LIKE A TOOL.
DONE AND DUSTED.

ALSO, HAS ANYONE SEEN A NOTEBOOK AROUND?
IT'S LEATHER BOUND AND SPELLED VOICE PASSWORD LOCKED.
I THINK I MIGHT HAVE LEFT IT IN THE LIBRARY THE OTHER WEEK.

For some completely unfathomable reason, Robinson is lobbying to bring hordes of capybaras into Hogwarts. And for those of you who don't know, these creatures are both large and potentially dangerous. Therefore, you shouldn't be signing Robinson's petition under any circumstances.

In fact, you should all sign my petition to ban capybaras from Hogwarts in the interest of keeping us all from being killed and devoured.
