thirty-two; back from parts unknown

[onlyapparate]

Well, I see everyone's busy with exams and everything, so I'll make this quick.

Hello, students! I apologize for my unannounced absence, but I'm back! For those of you who don't remember me, I'm Professor Thobari Durandal Kumohira, and I'll be helping Yukimi grade tests in the meantime, it seems.

I hope you've all had a great semester while I was away, and I wish you the best of luck on your tests! You're in the final stretch now, so give it your all.

[ Not gonna talk about shirts. At all. Because 'Likes older women,' 'killed Asahi Rokujou,' 'KEEPS SECRETS,' and 'TOBI' are embarrassing and totally not relevant to anything. ]

You might need to refresh my memory. Who are you again?

[onlyapparate]

... [ So tempted to just say 'your right arm.' ]

So, you must be the other guy Maron was always talking about.

[onlyapparate]

Uhm, I suppose so? Are you a new teacher? [ And how does he know Maron, exactly? ]

[why would you even]

You know I'm joking. It'd take all the alcohol in Europe to forget you. Where've you been?

[onlyapparate]

[ Because you are a cruel, cruel person. ]

I'd be fine if you didn't, actually. Tell me you haven't started drinking again... [ GUESS WHO'S DODGING A QUESTION. ]

Name's Leon S. Kennedy. I've taken over Pre-Auror Studies.

A drink here and there, but not enough to make me forget how to feel feelings.

[onlyapparate]

You need a less extreme end point, but I suppose that's an improvement.

[onlyapparate]

Ohh, I see. Did you study here in Hogwarts? I'm not sure I recognize you...

[yukimi-mama.livejournal.com]

We'll have to celebrate your return.

[onlyapparate]

Okay. But not with alcohol.

[alli-esta.livejournal.com]

I'm here from America, if you can believe that.

[onlyapparate]

Oh, wow. All the way from overseas? What made you decide to come across the pond?

[yukimi-mama.livejournal.com]

No one said you had to have any.

[onlyapparate]

Just cutting you to the chase.

Anyway, how have you been? Did I miss anything important?

[alli-esta.livejournal.com]

Well, originally I was just transferring my position as an Auror from America to England. Just so happens my first day was the day of that massive attack on the Ministry.

[onlyapparate]

Ah. Well... That would do it.

[yukimi-mama.livejournal.com]

Dean was a girl.

[onlyapparate]

.......Sorry, what?

[ Splutter splutter. ]

Did you-- What?!

[yukimi-mama.livejournal.com]

I didn't do anything!

[onlyapparate]

How did that even happen!?

[alli-esta.livejournal.com]

It worked out for a while, but I took a hiatus. Got a job at the bank.

[yukimi-mama.livejournal.com]

Beats me. And it ain't like it only happened to him. Loads of people changed.

You worked at Gringotts? You must have quite an impressive record.
