Anyone else check the calendar lately and suffer an aneurysm? Only three days left of the summer hols. I knew term was on the horizon but fuck me. Three days?
Odeon save us all. |

Not really one for announcements (I'll leave the self-promotion to my prettier half), but I probably should inform the current students of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry that I will be supporting them next term in the position of Assistant Professor of Defence Against the Dark Arts.
If anyone tries to get through a spot quiz on the five signs to identify a werewolf by including 'he wears a lot of tweed' and 'he's in my classroom right now,' I assure you, I've tried that joke myself.
Obviously I'd like to thank Professor Constantine and the headmaster for extending this opportunity. It appears that I can be a part of a wild pack and still find gainful employment. I'll be taking rooms within the castle from next week, so don't hesitate to knock on my door if you need to. You can even disturb me if my nose is buried in a book.
I look forward to seeing how you all grow and develop in the class, so remember to keep your quills wet with ink, your books well-thumbed, and always recall that the monsters we learn about are often just a different form of people. |

It's been a rather active summer, I have to admit. Adulthood doesn't seem to horrible when you have friends to charm the laundry clean.
And I'm not a hideous cook, but Jordan could certainly show me a couple of tricks. Still, someone's got to fuss a little.
Actually, adulthood is: a cup of tea in the afternoon, a good book to read; a glass of wine after dinner and my boyfriend in my arms. Putting it like that, adulthood sounds rather good.
I am of course terribly sorry for all you young folk who haven't quite crossed this boundary. |

| THE GREAT CHOCOLATE WAR OF 2015 |
[Aug. 4th, 2015|07:45 pm] |
TO THOSE IN ON THE GREAT CHOCOLATE BALLOON DROP !!!!
AFTER A TWO HOUR SHOWER!!
No, really, I'm not mad. A funny thing sort of happened. See, as I was running around, and around and around, ducking and dodging and hexing balloons in my room that soaked all my sheets and my telly, and my google, which has survived thanks to a thing on the front called a Zagg, I kept running. Well - I couldn't get away, so I ran into Sirius' room and they followed me, so as they popped, they left the mess there too, which is kind of funny really. The mess in there is about as bad as in my room, and then we won't talk about the sofa. The whole house looks like the Easter bunny exploded.
LOVE YOU GUYS!!! |

I really need a gift for my son's birthday.
I do have an idea, but I have no clue where my things would have went after the war. Gringotts maybe? I haven't really check the vault for all of that. I know the house was rubble, but there are certain things that might have survived. |

Definitely got the right job, I think. There's something fulfilling about learning how to avoid things exploding whilst simultaneously making them explode.
Yeah. That's a thing. And it's awesome.
And how are all of you fine and lovely folks? Good? Great. |

Every now and again, I spend so much time in my office at work that I sort of forget that I have a home to go back to. And then, when I finally do get back there, my dishes are still waiting in the sink for me.
I think my coffee cup had a new civilization going in it and that's pretty embarrassing for a guy who's going to be thirty five in less than five days.
Which is also kind of weird to think about.
EDIT:
Speaking of birthdays, Neville and I will be kicking back at the Three Broomsticks on Friday evening. Stop by and say hi and have a drink if you've got the chance. |

Quite a couple of months that Hogsmeade has had. I can only hope this isn't a pattern that we have to look forward to. I can only imagine residents and business owners wouldn't appreciate that.
It certainly would make me reconsider a new flat somewhere else. |

The first thing you learn about share-houses is that there's an invisible, if inevitable, division of labour.
The second thing is that when anyone offers to help with the dishes or turns out to be a good cook, you look at them as if they just saved your first-born child.
And no-one who cooks breakfast well can be all bad.

How many of you out there have been mangled by Ms. Malfoy's concoction?
Be honest. |

I have to say, if adulthood is an endless summer of movies, popcorn and alcohol, I rather like the sound of it.
And this house is glorious, even if it is a bit too obsessed with dinosaurs. Some James Bond, please: I have a lot to catch up on since 'The Man with the Golden Gun' was released. And practicing saying "Lupin. Remus Lupin" in the mirror doesn't quite cut it.
I never really got the thing about Sean Connery, though - it spawned too many Scotsmen who think they're all that, from what I can tell. |

Can you imagine how difficult moving must be for muggles? Not having the ability to shrink things down to tiny size and stick them in a trunk which can then be levitated to its new destination? What an absolute HORROR it is to consider actually having to do any heavy lifting.
Prepare for a BEAUTIFUL segue, here:
The only heavy thing here, friends, is my heart. My woes are many. An era has ended.
Today is the day I finished moving all of my personal items out of Hogwarts and into my new flat. Which is, admittedly, a very decent flat, seeing as I share it with some very decent people (and also a mostly alright 7th year Gryffindor -- kidding. You're okay, Zuko).
We very suddenly had an extra room open up and I'm pleased to say that what we've used that room for instead is entirely better than what our original plan was. There's now a space for excessive pillow-y comfort and a muggle television. Have you lot SEEN muggle movies? There are an absolute TON of them, and I can wholeheartedly say that each and every one of them is better than Bletchley.
Particularly the dinosaur ones. |

As much as I'm tempted to say Severus put it better, I'll add my own singular comment:
When we were children, we did not talk like children. We were not given the grace to think like children, or to reason like children. The comforts of home and family were reft from us by duty and war and things unspeakable.
Now we have become men and women, and I'm glad that we've remembered that part of the point of being an adult is still being able to find a simple, childish joy in things, from time to time.
(But what Severus said. Really.) |

I'm sure many of you have heard numerous rumors about what has happened at Hogsmeade and I wanted to make as an official statement as can be given at this time. Yes, there was a small attack that happened outside of the music shoppe. One Professor and student were caught in the cross fire, but they are both stable in the infirmary. Visitors are allowed if they wish to visit them, however we ask that you give them time to recuperate.
We ask that all students continue on with their studies. Exams will not be canceled and we encourage everyone to continue with their studies. There is no danger to any of the students and staff here at the school, however no permission slips will be given to students to leave the premise for the rest of today. We will keep you updated if anything else comes to light, but for now, please try to stay focused on completing the school year.
If anyone has any questions, please feel free to ask. I will be happy to assist in any way possible. |

So, er
Hello, everyone.
Before anything else, I'd like to apologize for not having made introductions earlier. I'd like to say I have a good excuse, but I'm not especially sure that I do. Not one that I'd like to get into, anyway. I hope you can all forgive me for being remiss and mostly absent. I guess -- uh. Well. I'm here now. And I'd very much like to ---
Well.
I'm here now, anyway.
So.
Hello.
I'm Harry Potter. |
