onlyapparateAs 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.

Date: 2010-02-03 03:19 am (UTC)*Tia also shrunk, whut?* Oh, y're the new Defense teacha? Will y' be teachin' Gryffindor an' Hufflepuff, then?
((...Since Yukimi I believe teaches Ravenclaw and Slytherin, I'm assuming this is right? 8D;;;))

Date: 2010-02-03 03:40 am (UTC)Sorry you had to come during this... situation. Things like this happen all the time, apparently. I'm rather new myself so I can't entirely vouch for that.
Filtered
Date: 2010-02-03 03:55 am (UTC)Well, yes, I... knew Yukimi when we were in Hogwarts.
Are you a teacher here, as well?
no subject
Date: 2010-02-03 04:00 am (UTC)I think I need to discuss the details with Yukimi, but that sounds about right.
What's your name, miss? Are you here with someone? Where are your parents? [derp, of course Thobari wouldn't realize everyone's affected.]
no subject
Date: 2010-02-03 04:04 am (UTC)"Situation"? Is that what they're calling it? So it's temporary, at least... Thank goodness.

Date: 2010-02-03 04:05 am (UTC)And yes, I'm the Charms professor. My name is Cierra, nice to meet you! I'm a friend of Kazuhiko's too, so I hope we can be friends.

Date: 2010-02-03 04:07 am (UTC)*at first is a bit confused by the questions* Huh?
...Oh! Sorry, profess'r, I got affected by th' castle too...I'm not norm'lly this small. I'm Tiana, I'm a 6th year Hufflepuff...so if y'll be teachin' Hufflepuff, I'll be one o' y'r students!
Filtered
Date: 2010-02-03 04:12 am (UTC)Ah, the pleasure's all mine. Hopefully we'll be seeing a lot more of each other in the future.
[poor Toby still feels a bit awkward in his 15-yea-old skin;;;]
no subject
Date: 2010-02-03 04:20 am (UTC)...what's this about the castle? Is that what's causing everyone to look younger?

Date: 2010-02-03 04:28 am (UTC)It's swell t' meetcha too, profess'r.

Date: 2010-02-03 04:30 am (UTC)Icon vaniiiiished, so sorry. >>
Date: 2010-02-03 04:31 am (UTC)Yeah...I guess it jus' releases random magic from time t' time, but this sorta weird stuff happens a lot. Most o' it's not too bad, though, us'lly...y' get kinda used t' it after a while.
no subject
Date: 2010-02-03 04:39 am (UTC)Still, are you students alright with that? Hasn't anyone tracked down a definite reason?

Date: 2010-02-03 04:48 am (UTC)Fo' the most part. Sometimes somma th' stuff the castle does makes workin' a bit harder...but if y' ask me, y' shouldn't let a little bitta trouble keep y' from doin' y'r best, righ'?

Date: 2010-02-03 05:24 am (UTC)That's quite an admirable outlook you have, Miss Tiana. I look forward to seeing how you apply it to your studies!
Filtered
Date: 2010-02-03 05:48 am (UTC)I look forward to it, Thobari.
[it's okee Toby, Cierra hasn't gotten the hang of being 14 again herself :c]
