...well. It's not the worst. I guess I'll take that. I wish I didn't have to shave every morning, that would make my life a lot easier.

Hey everyone, I have a small announcement. It seems one of my experiments might have gone missing. The cage wasn't fully closed and I'm a bit worried that it decided to go exploring a bit. If anyone happens to see it, don't be afraid and just contact me. I'll come and capture it.

I'm gonna leave a picture of it here so you know what to look for.

Only time I miss Batman being that tiny is at bedtime. He is slowly taking over half of my bed and I'm pretty sure by the time Christmas is here he will claim it as his own. He is no longer a puppy.

For those who have been worried and I know you guys have been I'm numb enough that I don't constantly hate myself so tired that everything is just a blur better.

I'm sorry for being an asshole this past month.

Meet what is now known as a Fire Lizard. They are only five of them known to be alive in the world and all five of them are located at Hogwarts. They are a brand new species that as of today is classified as an Endangered XX (Harmless / may be domesticated). I have two of these little guys and Professor Hale has three.

They don't breath fire and they are not poisonous. They are reaching two months in age and haven't started to fly yet but they are testing their wings. We don't know how large they are going to get but when they hatched they fit comfortably in the palm of my hand.

I have been studying them since they were born and I will continue to study them, sending the Headmaster and the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures updates on what I find.

I've had to hide them away in my dorm for the last month and a half but now I don't. They will be coming to class to me (unless all the students cause them to much excitement then they will stay in my dorm). To my dorm mates Apollo and Artemis are very well behaved and shouldn't be a problem. If they are I will find a solution.

We did it Professor Hale!

Welp, I managed to finish Abacus's Halloween costume today. It's amazing what a person can do with felt when given a chance. I saw a pretty picture of this gorgeous lion and got inspired. Now I just need to figure out what I'm going to go as. Maybe I should do a lion as well or something else fun. I always end up picking two costumes though because I can never decide what I am until the day of. Bahhhh.

Stiles, Nicoooooo what are you two going as ? Wanna be the three musketeers?

{Private to Luke]

What about you? Any ideas what you're going to be sexy?

Insert the same shit that everyone has been saying about glitter here. Blah blah blah. Although when you've hung out in as many clubs as I have, you just get used to it. Also, lint rollers.

Dear Daddy,

So I heard you got kicked into the castle and yet I haven't had one invitation to check out your sweet digs?!

So, I think all in all this weekend is going well. Nothing major happening. I like quiet weekends.

[Private to Slytherin Quidditch]
Some of you were a little sloppy at practice. I'm chalking it up to this week being sort of hard on all of us. All of you know, at least I hope you know, that I'm around to talk if you need it, or drill you if you feel you need a bit more brushing up time on the pitch. Also make sure you thank Professor Dresden for supervising us, and Professor Stark for offering to do the same if we ever need it.

[Private to Harry Dresden]
Thanks for watching us during practice. I understand the rules and all, but it still sucks.

Welp, I'm already sick of staying in doors. I can understand why they want to keep us inside, but it's also not really fair to all of us. I need to get out and get my energy out, otherwise you teachers aren't going to be that happy with me in your class. Plus there's a few other students that need something to get them off of my ass

[Private to Stiles]

Hey man, you doing alright? You haven't been looking all that great lately. Worried about the attack?

[Private to Nico]

Hey, have you noticed just how bad Stiles has been looking the last few days? Has he said anything to you?

So I've been considering, and I think we all need to gather together and do something enjoyable. Obviously we have to follow the curfew and all or one of my chasers will glare in annoyance at me, but I'm just about going crazy right now. I know we can't get muggle movies or anything at school, but there has to be something we can all do to sort of let loose. if anyone has any ideas, I'm totally open. Anything!

Shame about the boy.

Even greater shame that I wasn't there to see him fall. Father told me it might be 'an eventful year' but so far I haven't had a single chance to get my hands dirty. If anything, this year is monotonous.

The fuck did I do

Students, given what has occurred, our classes will be moved indoors and rather than hands-on experience with the creatures I will be lecturing. While this is not ideal, your safety is important. This also means that we will not have any meetings of the CoMC club as I do not want any of you on the grounds for an extended period if you don't have to be. I will bring some of the less dangerous calmer animals into the castle if there is enough demand.

[Private to Students who spend time with the animals]

Unfortunately this includes you. If you would like I can give you extra lessons.

[Private to Bella]

The kids are fine, let me know when you want me to bring them up.

[Private to Headmaster Emrys]

Yes, sir?

Having early morning detention three days in a row is freaking evil. EVIL. God I'm so exhausted and ready for the weekend to happen. I'm doing nothing this weekend. Absolutely nothing. If you want me I'll be in my bed.



Batman on the other hand is loving the grounds and growing like a weed. It's really scary how much he has grown with all the exercise and fresh air. The elves love him. I don't know why because he is slowly becoming bigger than they are.

Soon I won't be able to carry him. He isn't a small puppy anymore.

This stupid fucking thing tried to bite me. For the record, it does not like steak but it does like socks. Only one sock from each pair though. If you are weird and/or like sales like I do and have those socks that denote which foot they go on, it's especially fond of the right sock. Consider this a PSA.

My name is James. I'm being forced to explain that apparently I'm not dead and that I used to be a student here. Then I wasn't. Now I am again. The rest doesn't concern you. If you used to know me, that's too bad, I don't remember you.

Before too many idiots try to ask me about the obvious- yes, I'm missing my goddamn arm. I only need the one to break your nose if you ask about it or offer to carry my books.

Where's the d.a.d.a classroom and who designed this place. They should be fired.

You know, when you're a kid you never see your Professors as actual human beings. It's like, when class ends they just slither away into a broom closet or something, until the next day. (Unless they were looking to bust you for something and then they were everywhere!). Turns out, they (or I guess, we) are actually people.

That said, I cannot fucking wait for Hogsmeade weekend. I haven't decided what I'm going to do to pass the time yet, other than of course supervising you kids. lol Any suggestions?

(OOC note: Meru has been in his lab and thus not sleeping in his bed for the last few days. So his feather prank was trapped a few days late.)

I would be a lot more pissed about being covered in feathers if I was the only one but I'm not and the rest of you look incredibly funny. I have no doubt I look funny to. And this calls for:

So, I suppose enough folks have laid eyes on me by now that it's time to cough up some answers.

Yes, I am much bigger than I used to be. No, I don't get sick or hurt the way I used to. Also no, I didn't do this to myself on purpose. As some of you may know I was held by some bad people last year, and some of the things they did to me led to these changes. I am glad I'm not as much of a burden as I used to be, but I also lost my best friend to those people. I would trade it all just to get him back.

I'm not really a fan of talking about it all, and I do have panic attacks from time to time. My therapy dog, Vincent, will be with me during classes and although I don't mind if people pet him, please don't pick him up or take him anywhere. He's technically supposed to be working, and I had to get special permission from the Headmaster to have him with me.

I guess that's about it. Thanks for your time.

Alright Hogwarts, Michael Meru here. I figured that as Head boy, I should probably say hi and remind everyone that the new semester is a chance to be who you really want to be and succeed. It's a new year after all and a new start! The regular school rules apply as always. Curfew will be enforced by prefects and teachers. The forbidden forest is always forbidden. (Especially to all the magical creatures fans.) And if you see smoke coming from the eastern corridor on the third floor, please just ignore it. It will go away quickly.

Now for Ravenclaws! Quidditch tryouts are this Friday. Remember, we're going to win this season and best of all, we're going to beat Gryffindor. So let's get some fresh blood out there and eager to play, right?

Also, I just want to remind people that should they wish to find me for my birthday tomorrow. I will not be in the lab. I know how much that pissed everyone off last year.

I'm off the crutches! Sure I have an ankle brace and I have to ice when I walk to much but I'm off the damn crutches! It's a glorious day. I think I need to send the nurse a thank you basket.

Batman is settling into his new home. He has become the star of the Slytherin common room. He gets completely spoiled when he is out there. Lots of belly rubs, scratches, and playing. Which means he is completely done by the time I go to bed and he sleeps throughout the night. It is really nice.

Keara and Nico: we need to get together. No, not for sex. You know the rule. But we need to hang out and pretend that we are actually best friends.

Alright Gryffindor, I've been nice and gave you all a few days of quidditch free fun. But that's all you're getting. This Sunday will be tryouts followed by a practice. Everyone will be expected to do their best, including current members. Because if someone is better, then they're gonna get your spot. I'm making sure that we're going to get take the quidditch cup again this year and continue with the awesome leadership that Misha gave us... only better since it'll be me. I'll see you there.

It has often been questioned whether my spot on the team was legitimately earned or not, although the rumor used to be that it was because of my relationship to Wallace Battye. Gabe was the one who slept his way onto the team.

Jackson... if you are going to wear a wig, why would you choose to wear a birds nest on your head and your face.

...Stop throwing paper at me.

Sissy, something I should know? How anyone would notice that you were eating MORE than usual when you already eat as much as a whole Quidditch team though... Seems a little unrealistic.

I would just like to say that I would never do anything inappropriate with a student. I am sickened by the thought. I consider all of my students to be like my children and I would like to apologize if I have ever made anyone uncomfortable. Please privately let me know if I have done so so that I may apologize and correct my behavior in the future.
