It is strange to be back here. They say home is never the same once you've left, and I found it true of the house I grew up in. The walls never seem as tall as they used to. The grounds aren't as vast. The echo's not as loud as they were when we ran through the halls. I am beginning to believe that Hogwarts adjusts to fit you as you grow, however. I got lost yesterday, and it took me off guard, even if it does make sense. Times change and so do stairways.

At least there are familiar faces all around. Even the newer professors are people I recognize. One in particular I will have to pay a visit to, maybe tomorrow. Maybe sooner, if he will still respond to me banging on his door in the middle of the night.

Anyhow, the new year is almost upon us and instead of sitting with the students in the hall, I'll be at the high table. I hope I remembered my fancy robes. Surreal is a better word than strange.

Inheriting a classroom is a daunting task. There are so many outdated charts lying around, but several of them are practically antiques. I'll have to come up with a way to display them that won't confuse everyone. Don't want first years relating Ascella to Scorpius because of my poor judgment.

Just over two weeks and another year at Hogwarts begins. Well, it's the first year for me, technically. I should be excited to return, but I'm actually terrified. When I was last in school I actually knew people there. Not that I don't know the other staff, it's just odd, I suppose.

Anyway, I know I've been out of touch lately. The summer's been busy with preparing for my new job. What have I missed?

Anyone know of an effective doxy-cleaning service? I have suddenly been blessed with an infestation in the attic and I do not have time to be a domestic goddess and clean it out myself.

Also, I have two tickets to a concert - The Smiths. Does anybody want to come along?

Yes. I am prioritising a concert above work at home.

No. I'm not drunk. I just have a crush on the lead singer of the band.

I may have been mean to Regulus and I feel bad. But I also feel angry at him. Very, very angry. Should I put my mind to other things? I have plenty to distract me at work but it's just...this sudden reappearance is baffling. What did we miss? How did we miss it.

If it's worth anything I won't ever pretend to be dead to avoid hanging out with you.

Meet the newest member of the Potter family, Black 'Statche.

He's already torn up Batty's flower garden, but luckily the old gal is a good sport. Mostly because I was able to fix it quickly.

On to other news! The official announcement will be in the Prophet tomorrow, but I've got board approval to announce that Cleansweeps's first new broom in 20 years will be released just in time for Back-To-School shopping! Trust me when I say you've never seen anything quite like the Cleansweep 7*. It's fast, it's sleek and, dare I say it, sexy.

(*Personally I wanted to call it the Bad-Ass Broomstick, but I was outvoted by the Board.)

I'm alive!

I would say more, but that sums it up. You can rejoice now.

Some people should do the rest of us a favor and keep their opinions to themselves. Better yet, they could perform a permanent silencing charm on their vocal cords.

Just as a public service announcement; the Merlin & Morgana Museum is dedicated to preserving and curating Wizarding History. We are not in the business of exposing our world to Muggles by attempting to acquire non-magical art and artifacts. If you wish to see the Mona Lisa, make the proper arrangements to visit the Louvre in Paris.

Who: Lucius, Mary
What: Lucius pretends he's a good citizen and sees Mary
Where: 7 August, 1987
When: The Ministry

Marauders! is an AU 80s game based upon three major 'fixes' to canon. First, Peter died rather than give up the Potters, and despite Voldemort ripping the secret from his mind that fateful Halloween night had a rather different outcome. James and Lily survived, and Voldemort is presumed dead. Harry's still got his scar, but Dumbledore says not to worry about it. Second, Regulus got the ring to Dumbledore and Dumbledore was able to destroy it without cursing himself. Regulus was presumed dead as well, but not everything is as it seems. Third, the Lestranges were defeated before they could drive the Longbottoms insane, and are currently languishing in Azkaban while the Longbottoms (among others) are alive and mostly well. Current game plots: A dark-wizard cult has been kidnapping and killing people in the name of power. An unlikely source comes forward with information on how to stop them. Oh, and Harry Potter's pirate-themed birthday is a go. Main Comm | OOC Comm | Mod Journal Rules | Holds/Cast | Application | Wanted
