Oh dear. You caught me. I am a magical cyborg and I definitely had something to do with the magic problems recently. Because being a magical cyborg wouldn't have messed things up before now. I had to ask someone what a cyborg was before I even understood

Yes, okay, fine. I'm sort of stupid. I still do my own work. I'm trying at least.

The news about Gareth is terrible, and I realize that there's nothing I can say that hasn't already been said; we all were impacted by him in some way, this Castle is a close-knit community, a family really, the degree of separation between people is slim and so we all knew him in some level whether only by name, or by personal connection.

Regardless, this affects everyone of us, and I am sorry to all of you that this happened. Further, I'm sorry that we weren't able to protect Gareth, and that you were all put through such fear and confusion before anything was told to any of you. I assure you, next time, I hope there's better communication to you as a student body.

You all deserve to feel safe and protected in this castle, so that you can focus on learning and growing and unfortunately the Death Eaters have chosen to not allow this. Hogwarts is a symbol of the growth and expansion of the Wizarding world; what's more, Hogwarts stands as a proud, shared achievement among so many in this world. So it's no wonder why they targeted us, and it would seem that we as Teachers and TAs have grown complacent in their absence and we failed to be ready. I hope next time, and I pray there is no next time, but should there be I hope we can do better by you.

All of that being said, should any one of you require someone to talk to my door's always opened.

That poor boy. His poor family. What is going on. This isn't supposed to happen.

Keep it together, Retty.

It's never easy to lose one of our own, especially not in as horrific a fashion as this. My door will be open to anyone who needs to talk, as always.

[Private to Teachers]

If anyone needs to brush up on their defensive and offensive spells let me know. I hope this never happens again but we need to be prepared. We're the last line of defense between these kids and whatever's out there.

[Private to Magnus]

He was one of yours, right? I'm so sorry, Magnus.

I hate that I have to edit myself and that I have to act like the perfect little daughter. I love my father. I would choose him a million times over my mother. It's just not fair. He gets to be irresponsible when we're home. He locks himself up inside his laboratory for days on end sometimes. I'm the one who brings him food. I'm the one who makes him go to sleep. I'm the one who cleans up and takes care of things. I spend my summers working at the vet office so that I can further my career after school. I'm so much an adult that my time to be free and be a kid is supposed to be at school. I work hard at classes and my grades. I don't goof off on that because that's my future.

But to now be told that I can't be myself at school? All the other kids get to be how they wish because their parents are all home. For me... my father and godfather work here. When do I get to do what I want? When do I get to be me? After school is over? No, because that's when I start my career training.

{Private to Uncle Tony}

I'm sorry for being rude yesterday. I know you're only looking out for my father's position here. On the flip side of the same token, though... You know how he gets when we're at home. I have to be the responsible one. You have Jarvis to bring you food and keep the house clean and do all the chores. When Daddy gets an idea in his head, it's days in his laboratory and I'm the one left to do all the rest.

I'm sorry for not editing myself, but I didn't see anything wrong with what I said. The Scribbler alluded to the idea that I was a vampire. I was simply trying to have a little fun with it... to make light of it, especially after last month's horrible rumors.

{Blocked from all faculty}

I'd just like to thank whomever wrote the curriculum for our seven years of school here. You allowed me to learn the charms to block my journal from specific people and thus allowing me to, hopefully, be myself without getting into trouble. All of you should be happy that you don't have a parent or godparent on faculty.

That said... I want to have some fun. Anyone down for a little party or something? Anything?

{/Block}

{Private to Peter}

So I know this is going to sound horrible, but....

Do you think you could possibly help me with Potions? I know my dad is the Potions professor and I've managed passable grades, but I really want to do a little better. Make him proud of me, especially after how I apparently keep messing up whenever I say something.

Happy birthday to me! Who's up for some awesome partying at the gryffindor common room later today? Think I can ditch classes for awhile?

I'm spending the whole day brewing up some energy potions, I used all of them up last week. I think I'm going to go ahead and keep some of the ingredients separated and see if I can get some of you students to brew a perfect one for extra credit. Well, if Professor Banner's okay with that, of course.

I'm also spending the whole day listening to classic Mozart and Beethoven.

I am also trying to decide when my life got to the point where I brew potions on Sundays...

Before this thing bites me, which it apparently wants to do, I figured I'd be proactive.

How is being back at school treating everyone? I know I'm loving the freedom I have here and I know that sounds like an oxymoron, but it's the truth. Daddy can't get too caught up in his lab and he has a TA to pester him to eat and sleep so it doesn't fall solely on me. LOVE YOU DADDY!

Well that Scribblr thing was just a bit on the hurtful side. I mean... talent less? Ouch, I would like to point out I'm quite good at the potions building. I'd find that to be a substantial talent.

I am, as it were, not gay either. I don't really find this insulting, and don't understand why that needs to be classified as 'poor Peter', if I were it wouldn't really be a bad thing would it? I'm not, though, my biological make up and social experiences and norms have not really attributed to that and, as thus, have not found myself attracted to the male spectrum.

As for the other remarks, I'll let the world worry about those in due time and not bother commenting on a rather inappropriate topic.

All of that said, I hope none of you took any of the attacks on you too seriously; this is merely gossip, a trivial and weak minded individual who must boost their own self-confidence by playing against your own, and creates their own fun through the degradation of others. It's tiresome, but it happens. Don't let it bother you...

Instead enjoy your day! Welcome back to school students, I look forward to making all of you suffer in potions. Bwuhahaha--I don't play off the evil very well, do I?

I am so devastated to learn and hear about all of the tragedy that occurred on Saturday at what is supposed to be a fun, family-oriented event that helps build friendships, lives, and memories. No one deserves what happened on Saturday, it's gross, disgusting, and painful to even know that such people can let it happen. I'm so, so sorry to all of you that were there.

My thoughts are with you, and your families, as well as all those affected by this tragic event.

Just know that I do love all of you, some of you I only know as students, and I know I'm a teacher now so it makes sense, but a lot of you I knew in school too. Or I knew a sibling. We're all a family here at Hogwarts, and I look at so many of you as friends and call you friends.

I hope all of you are okay, if any of you need anything, I'm currently mixing up large batches of Potions, healing, sleeping, and pain. If you need anything, ANYTHING, my place is open, my journal's always open, and I'll do whatever I can to talk, listen, take a punishment, whatever you need to move forward. And the potions I'm making are free to everyone, and there're no limits on them.

I am here. I am awesome. I do not know how you got through the last month without me. Well, clearly no one did, since I'm working on clean up after everything at the cup. Can I put it on record that whoever wrote the BMA- I mean, USA Today article is an idiot? Just think it needs to be said.

Anyway. I should have invented these. Who invented these? Who funded these? I want to poach them for Stark Industries. Why didn’t we commission something like this? I think I need to buy out the company, honestly, just for the testing I can do on this thing. I want to take it apart to figure out how it works. This is an excellent bit of techno-magic. The partial sentience was a nice touch. I know I can improve the technology. Bruce? Can we get on claiming this now?

Hey everybody, today's the big day and all of that, so I suppose I should probably be the first to say 'GO USA'! But also, I'm going to wish you all a fun excursion, just make sure it's also safe. Which I'm sure it will, since there's obviously going to be no alcohol, drugs, smoking, sex, or gambling at this family-friendly event. Obviously. Of course there won't be.

Still... you know, just for sanity's sake, be safe.

Not sure I'll be going, there's a lot of work to be done here at home.

Also, today, all fries are Freedom Fries, and I have purchased two baguettes and burned them.

Daddy is taking me to the Match so I'm looking forward to seeing everyone there. And if anyone is interested on putting a little money on the game, be subtle in front of my dad. He doesn't know about the cards and dice and such. When he hears I play cards he assumes Snap or Bridge. I'd like to let him keep that illusion please.

So it seems that my journal has managed to escape the cage I placed it in. People werent lying when they said that it became sentient if not used. I wonder if I can use that for my kettle

Either way, it looks like it's almost time for the cup. Everyone ready to watch France kick everyone's ass?

I can't sleep. I've been up all night, and I just can't sleep. I keep getting dragged back out of bed, by what? I don't know. At times it's too hot, other times I'm just not comfortable enough, and other times my eyes just won't close.

So what have I done to counteract this? Absolutely nothing. I'm working. I'm grading, and when that becomes too much, I'm reading. It's a pain.

Still, could be worse, I could be sleeping soundly, warmly, and comfortable in my bed with a happy smile on my -- oh wait, that's better, not worse, isn't it? Well back to the drawing board.

Well, since I'm moving out after this year most likely my parents finally said I could get a pet. It's no Mouse, but it's mine. Sadly no pictures of Mouse in comparison yet but look up a Caucasian shepherd for a size comparison.
