Dad's home tomorrow. I'm ready for things to go back to normal. He apologized for ruining break, which I already told him was ridiculous. I'm just glad he's alive

So apparently all this effort in staying out of trouble and hoping things would go better was a fucking joke, but you can't say I didn't try.  I'm done with keeping my head down and acting like everything is okay for the sake of obedience.  It's clear certain individuals and their families have a specific interest in what has happened, and fuck you if you don't think I'm not calling y'all out on it.  Fuck you for expecting us to overlook the tragedies and threats to spare your shitty fucking privileged feelings.  Boo hoo people are upset that your relatives are racists and are now in power.  Fucking bite me. 

You want my congratulations?  Here it is.  You purebloods can keep you goddamn shitty ass society, I want no part in this mess.  Y'all have a delightful new year, see you never, because if you think I'm returning to the school come January you're fucking mistaken.  I'm going to go live on a mountain top where I never have to see you assholes again.  Peace on earth and all that bullshit.

Oh, and thanks for the sweater, Gracie.

For all those offering condolences and such, words are just words and are not helping right now. Saint Mungo's is deeply in need at this point with all the injuries. I have been aiding in cleaning and carrying supplies, since I've volunteered in the past. If you want to help, if it matters to you, do something.

[Hexed against those with DE sympathies]
By do something, I mean fucking stand up and do something instead of whining and insulting. We're the future, everyone says, and so we need to stand up for what life we want to come about. We can't fight them with words. We need actions.

Well, this sure has turned into one giant circle jerk.

God. I'm so fucking glad I'm planning on living in the muggle world after this.

I'm really sorry for everyone who lost someone or who has an injured family because of this actual pile of bullshit. I hope everyone who pulled this shit gets what's coming for them.

Nough said.

I would like to offer my condolences to anyone who lost a loved one in this attack. As someone who has lost ones they cared about in the line of duty, I know that it's a pain that can't quite be described. My heart goes out to each and every one of you and I wish those who were injured a speedy recovery. As always, I am here for you if you need any help whatsoever. If you need time away from home to sort yourself out, my floo address is Gingerbread Cottage in Marble. Please come whenever you need. I don't think that I'll be sleeping much after this.

Please, everyone. Stay safe.

The worst part about it almost being the holidays is that it's NOT the holidays yet. Blah. I don't know how much focus I can keep until then.

Okay. You and me are gonna hang out Friday. If not Friday, Saturday. Deal?

Jeez, Meru. I'm starting to think that you're playing nice with me to set me up for whenever Gryffindor plays, Ravenclaw.

So, I have to admit I'm a little nervous about the game this weekend. After the last... Well, can anyone blame me? I mean, I know I'm going to lead my team to victory and all, but part of me wonders if it matters now. I suppose after everything I've just got a case of nerves.

Everyone has to promise not to get injured, okay?

I had forgotten I had this thing until it bit me in the foot. Rude little bugger this thing is. But it did give me a chance to look at your little gossip rag.

It's rather creative. But if I'm a woman pretending to be a man doesn't that make me a drag king? And if I'm a woman pretending to be a man pretending to be a woman does that make me a drag king queen?

Let me say on the record that what the Scribbler said is true...

I would not crawl that far down on the social ladder for romantic prospects. I mean look at me as if scraping the bottom of the barrel would be necessary.

That being said if anyone repeats the false rumors about Skye, Bucky and Rogers around me I will be most displeased.

Private to KDT

Well this is a terrible beginning to the week if I do say so. Apparently Bucky is a drug addict, Skye is after Bucky's retriever puff and said Puff is abusing our Bucky. Learning new things every day apparently.

If I was prone to violence I would be so inclined to indulge now. For the record, I do not believe anything about the both of you. I know drug addicts when I see them, Bucky is not one, Skye is too busy squealing over Steve and Bucky to make any sort of romantic overtures and Steve Rogers is not capable of abusing anyone.

You know, I'm starting to think that people just don't like my baked goods. Or think that I don't like my students. Possibly both. I promise, my punishment methods do not involve sweets of any kind, although some of you may prefer that method to what I do have in store for you. Especially whoever writes this trash.

I swear to Merlin, I'm going to find whoever writes that piece of trash and rip their spine out. I don't care if that's a blunt thing for students to read, I'm not going to pussy foot around some dicksmear who thinks he can say that shit about me and my family.

Hello staff and students! It seems I have arrived here at quite the curious time!

My name is Hatter and I'm your new TA for your History of Magic class. A subject that I'm sure most of you find incredibly boring but really it's not all that bad! Since Professor Boothroyd is tied up with other things I'll be teaching your classes today. If you have any questions, any at all feel free to ask.

And for fun I leave you with this riddle:

"Four men were in a boat on the lake
The boat turned over, and all four men sank to the bottom of the lake
Yet not a single man got wet.
How?"

Hello Staff and Students,

As all of you have notice we are unable to do magic. Please don't worry as this was a mere accident and not an attack. We have our best working on the issue and we are hoping everything will return to normal soon. So please stay calm and think of this as a teaching moment: what would you do if you are unable to do magic anymore?

One last thing. There is a new rule being put into place. Muggle technology or experimenting with it are forbidden on school grounds.

[Private to Staff]
The curious students who caused this issue have come forward and I will be over seeing their punishment. Miss Famakinwa and Mr Boothroyd have been told what has happened and are currently working on a solution. Keep up the great work and lets keep the students calm.

So. Has anyone else noticed some problems with spells? I attempted to cast a relatively simple cleaning charm just now and it entirely failed. I have been doing cleaning charms since I was seven and mama had me working with my brothers to keep the sickrooms organized...

I do not like this.

I think I might be one of the only ones looking forward to a nice quiet weekend this weekend – before we have to go home for the chaos. Thanksgiving is always such a whirlwind for me. Dinner with my dad and all of my Boston relatives on Thanksgiving itself, with more than a few family traditions… and then Black Friday shopping with my mom starting at 3AM Friday morning until dinner time… I need to catch up on my sleep and get ahead in my schoolwork before I go home next week and enjoy the snow while I have enough time to see it.

I have been rereading a good number of my history books from home, and I am finding the varying appraisals of female leaders of the past as intriguing as always. Why is it that one can call a woman a whore while others consider her a saint? Is there no in-between for us?

Being a champion is pretty great. I'm really proud of my team. You all did super amazing. Now we just need to be ready to take down ravenclaw and Hufflepuff! We can do it!

Now if school could just be over for the holiday. I'm ready for Christmas, but I'm not exactly sure if I'll be going home. Dad is pretty busy with everything going on at work. Anyone else thinking of sticking around for Christmas?

Близо́к локото́к, да не уку́сишь. Your elbow is close, yet you cannot bite it. A week remains until the Thanksgiving Break. The professors seem to be less than mindful of the break… or else they are seeking to complete much before the long weekend. It is perhaps a competition among them.

Hey guys,

I am the new Muggle Studies professor since Dresden was called away on business. My name is Abeni Famakinwa, but you can call me Boomer if my first name is too much(I'm used to it). American(mostly), soldier, mechanic, tinkerer, ProfessorI guess. Nice to meetcha'

Pretty funny class, do muggle borns like to take it for a blow off? Expect projectiles at your heads if you doze off and/or not pay attention.

Fluffy projectiles. Mostly.

Back during my school days we had to pass notes the old fashioned way- uphill both ways in the snow.  Good to give the owls a bit of a rest, isn't it. 

I probably should have introduced myself before my first round of classes, but my office was a bit of a mess and needed sorting out.  So I apologize for that oversight.  My name is Quincy Boothroyd, and I'll be your new History of Magic professor.  I'm aware it's not the most exciting subject for many of you, but do get plenty of rest the night before because I do not tolerate napping. 

[Private to faculty]
I might be in need of a tour, if anyone would be so kind. 

Are there any troublemakers I should be prepared for?

Students,

Judging by the amount of people in the infirmary, your little party was a success. The same thing has happened before and will most likely happen again.

But let me get clear. You will not be receiving any hang over cures from me. The infirmaries are for serious injuries and sicknesses. Not a fix it for foolish decisions.

I would like to remind everyone to remain calm with the recent news of the break out, if more fighting does to Hogwarts rest assured the staff is working to prevent another incident like the one some months ago.

I also expect you to be mature young adults(a stretch for some, I am aware) and not treat anyone differently for any connections they have to any of the escapees. They are still your peers, the same people who have been living with and attending classes with for years.

I will be involved if I find out any such treatment is occurring.

When :11/2, late morning.

So, did not one of you think of the possible consequences of at least half a dozen fools spiking the various drinks at the party? Did it somehow escape you that people could have gotten sick? We have a hemophiliac on staff and the last thing he needs is blood thinning. Not to mention that anyone recovering from addiction would've been royally fucked by your stupidity.

But carry on your normal lives. Just pray I don't find out names other than the two I have or you'll regret it until you graduate.
