one; EVENT + INTRO

As if returning to Hogwarts and taking that wretched train weren't difficult enough, why am I fifteen again?! It's not exactly a time I want to revisit... Try as I might, I can't seem to undo whatever spell is causing this. There don't seem to be any other side-effects, so I'll stop by the hospital later, perhaps.

I-in any case, hello everyone! My name is Thobari Durandal Kumohira. You don't have to worry about the Kumohira part, since that's a bit hard to say. Just Professor Thobari or Professor Durandal is fine. And I'll just get this out of the way by adding that my name is pronounced Tobari, as if the "h" wasn't there. Just like the Thames, get it?

I may not look it right now, but I assure you, I am your new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher. To my students; I'm certain that this year you'll learn plenty of new things, and it's my duty to make sure that you make the best of this term. So no slacking off just because I'm new, alright?

To the teachers, I'm honored to be joining a renowned institution such as this and I hope we can work together to make sure our students become outstanding wizards and witches.

And please don't listen to anything Yukimi says about me. He's a wonderful man, [the ink here looks especially dark] don't get me wrong, but he and I were... friends back in high school, so his opinion may be a bit... biased.

[[ooc; replies will be done with [livejournal.com profile] runstoireland, since Thobari looks 15]]

That's the Headmaster's doing, I think.

He's still been here longer than I have... I don't want to ruin his reputation.

Seeing you again, what do you think?

[identity profile] runstoireland.livejournal.com 2010-02-03 02:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh. I thought you knew, since we're going to be working together from now on...

[also c-cry. Yukimi is younger, too? this really is like something out of a nightmare. /attempts to keep things civil.]

Which Houses will you teach?

What unfortunate timing you have.

[identity profile] yukimi-mama.livejournal.com 2010-02-03 11:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Nobody tells me anything.

[identity profile] n0blesse-oblige.livejournal.com 2010-02-03 11:41 pm (UTC)(link)
*He laughs*

No, no, I mean we all just kind of have to deal with it until it's over.. that's all.

[identity profile] runstoireland.livejournal.com 2010-02-04 01:20 am (UTC)(link)
Ah. That's a much kinder metaphor, thank you.

I suppose I'll have to get used to this...

[identity profile] runstoireland.livejournal.com 2010-02-04 01:21 am (UTC)(link)
...aren't you Head of Slytherin?

[ /someone did their homework. ]

[identity profile] runstoireland.livejournal.com 2010-02-04 01:22 am (UTC)(link)
Gryffindor and Hufflepuff! Are you going to be one of my students, Miss...?

[identity profile] runstoireland.livejournal.com 2010-02-04 01:23 am (UTC)(link)
You mean because of this... de-aging occurrence?

[identity profile] dofaye.livejournal.com 2010-02-04 01:26 am (UTC)(link)


Indeed. Not exactly a pleasant re-introduction to the castle, especially since everyone else is running around and overreacting.

[identity profile] yukimi-mama.livejournal.com 2010-02-04 01:31 am (UTC)(link)
That doesn't mean anything. Maybe they wanted to surprise me. You ever think about that?

[identity profile] runstoireland.livejournal.com 2010-02-04 01:37 am (UTC)(link)
Well, at first I thought it was a curse, but when I couldn't counter it I just assumed I'd have to go to the Hospital wing to get myself looked at.

That was hours ago, however. I got wrapped up with moving my things and never went in the end... If it's only temporary, I suppose it isn't too bad. [yeah, now. He totally panicked like hell before.]

Although it does bring back memories...

[identity profile] runstoireland.livejournal.com 2010-02-04 02:13 am (UTC)(link)
Oh.

..."Surprise!"?

[identity profile] yukimi-mama.livejournal.com 2010-02-04 02:33 am (UTC)(link)
Shut up. You're a dork.

[identity profile] runstoireland.livejournal.com 2010-02-04 02:40 am (UTC)(link)
Wha-What? Why!? I thought you said...!

[ tiny!flustered Thobari would be flailing angrily right about now. ]

[identity profile] yukimi-mama.livejournal.com 2010-02-04 02:43 am (UTC)(link)
I didn't say anything. Don't lie.

[identity profile] runstoireland.livejournal.com 2010-02-04 02:48 am (UTC)(link)
I'm not lying! You--!!

[ oh god, bad memories. ]

D-do we have to argue...?

[identity profile] yukimi-mama.livejournal.com 2010-02-04 02:57 am (UTC)(link)
I'm not arguing.

baww, my bb icons are lame

[identity profile] dofaye.livejournal.com 2010-02-04 03:49 am (UTC)(link)


It should be temporary; I'm told these sorts of things tend to stop after a day or two. A hospital wing visit shouldn't be necessary.

You said you were a Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher, yes? Which houses will you be teaching?

psssh, this all happened in the latest chapter. one month ago, I'd've been screwed

[identity profile] runstoireland.livejournal.com 2010-02-04 04:37 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, so I've heard. It's quite a relief.

I'll be teaching Hufflepuffs and Gryffindors. Are you a new teacher as well?

[identity profile] dofaye.livejournal.com 2010-02-04 04:54 am (UTC)(link)


Ah... I'm seventeen, sir. Normally I am, I mean.
