two: THE NEW DADA PROF. IS HERE

[onlyapparate]

Well, I'm certainly glad that's over with. Being fifteen made moving in rather difficult, not to mention that I felt more like a student than a teacher for a while... Thankfully I wasn't treated too cruelly, so that was an improvement.

In any case! I apologize for the delay, everyone. As you hopefully know, starting next Monday, I'll be teaching Hufflepuffs and Gryffindors in Defense Against the Dark Arts. If I could get a roll call set up in the meantime, that would be wonderful.

If all goes well, I'll have the rules and your assignments posted up by next week. In the meantime, if anyone wants to come talk to me about anything pertaining to the class, I'm available in my office most afternoons. Of course, you're free to stop me in the halls if you see me and have a question as well.

That's all for now. Hope to see you all next week.

You're doing it wrong. You're not supposed to be friends with them.

[onlyapparate]

But they're my students! How can I teach them if I don't know who they are?

I didn't say you don't have to know who they are. Just don't get all chummy. They'll take advantage of you.

[onlyapparate]

I can take care of myself. Besides, if there's a chance I'll be teaching some of them for their entire six years here, it'd be better to get to know them personally.

Fine. Whatever. Go ahead. Just don't come crying to me when they're walkin' all over you.

[onlyapparate]

I won't, because it won't happen.

[n0blesse-oblige.livejournal.com]

You definitely look more well fit to be the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher now.

[onlyapparate]

Yes... I was afraid people might not have taken my word for it the way I looked before.

You're... James, right?

[n0blesse-oblige.livejournal.com]

Yes, James Norrington. This is what I normally look like, on days when the castle isn't pulling tricks on everyone. It's a pleasure to meet the real you.

[onlyapparate]

Ah, yes. Likewise.

Does the castle really do things like that so often? It seems like it'd be hard to deal with after a while.

[n0blesse-oblige.livejournal.com]

I haven't been here too long either, but so far I've experienced turning into a 25 year old and real live mascots in the dormitories. From talking to other teachers, I've learned that these things seem to happen about once a month.

[onlyapparate]

Once a month? So is something wrong with the castle or does it simply enjoy playing tricks on people?

[n0blesse-oblige.livejournal.com]

At first I thought it was because the teachers weren't watching the students closely enough, but no I think the castle just has a very sadistic sense of humor.

[onlyapparate]

Now the castle has a sense of humor? Oh, Lord help us...

[berrysweetloli.livejournal.com]

Oh! I'm in your class!

[onlyapparate]

Ah! Excellent! Would you mind telling me your name, house and year, then?

[berrysweetloli.livejournal.com]

Miwkao Sakurada, and I'm a seventh-year Hufflepuff! It's nice to meet you, professor!

[onlyapparate]

Same here as well, Sakurada! Wow, you're in your last year, this is really it! I'm glad I'll get to teach you in your final stretch here at Hogwarts.

[berrysweetloli.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it is! It's pretty scary...

[onlyapparate]

Mm, it can be. But don't worry, we all have to go through it! I'm sure you'll do very well as long as you try your best.

[berrysweetloli.livejournal.com]

Thank you! If a teacher says so, it must be true~ Probably...

[hadmyshare.livejournal.com]

Glad t' see y're back t' normal too, Profess'r. Oh, and it's Tiana. *adding pleasantly as she knows she doesn't look much like that cute wittle kid he met previously ♥*

[onlyapparate]

Ah, Miss Tiana! I'm glad we can finally meet as our actual selves, per-se. Are you looking forward to next week's class?

[hadmyshare.livejournal.com]

O' course, sir! Profess'r Yukimi's a great teacha, but I gotta be int'rested t' see how y'll teach th' class, righ'? Is there any readin' I can do ahead o' time t' be ready for it?

[onlyapparate]

[ oh my gosh, you're asking for extra work!? Prepare to be Thobari's favorite student, Tiana. ]

That's wonderful! I've put some material on reserve at the library, which you're free to check out. It's a practical test, so I also suggest you practice as much as you can beforehand, alright?

Wrong av, lawl. XD

[hadmyshare.livejournal.com]

*Hahaha~, have a happy Tia at the idea of working~. As damn, that's all this girl knows how to do.* Will do, profess'r! Thanks a lot.

[genki-ni-yuuki.livejournal.com]

I can find a list in Yukimi's office of the Hufflepuff and Gryffindor students.

[onlyapparate]

Can you? That'd be perfect.

[Filtered]
By the way, Yukimi said something was wrong...?

[genki-ni-yuuki.livejournal.com]

It'll be no problem.

[Filtered]

...No.

[onlyapparate]

[ smiles. ]

[Filtered]

You sure? He sounded, I dunno... guilty. Or worried.

Filtered

[genki-ni-yuuki.livejournal.com]

I can't believe he mentioned it to you.

Filtered

[onlyapparate]

H-he didn't! He just said "Ask Maron about it and don't come running to me afterwards" or something like that. I was simply worried, that's all...
