*comes back from mucking out the flobberworms*

sees the memo, frowns and mutters*

Now what?!

*snorts*

Well at least he's not lettin' that git Filch have free reign anymore!

*quite puzzled over the bit that pertains to himself*

What did I do? Or not do? *scratches his head*

exsequeverus November 11 2007, 01:18:18 UTC

We'll say he was passing by on his way... somewhere... ?

(is very conveniently passing by the open window just as Hagrid puzzles to himself)
You forgot to sign up for extra detention supervision.

biggest_friend November 11 2007, 12:40:20 UTC

*starts guiltily*

Oh yeah. Sorry about that Pro...Headmaster.

Er...one o' the hippogriffs came down with Storge. Drove it clear out of my head,

(even)
'Professor' will suffice.

(starts to call him on it out of habit and then remembers not to bother and waves a hand instead)
Don't let it worry you. Slughorn and Pomona and Madam Pince forgot as well. However, I do hope you'll be more proactive about your duties in future.

(consideringly, even the expression under the poker face indecipherable as horror and sporfle fight it out)
Your appointment would certainly have spiced up the year... but you do see the problems with it?

Puppies don't see very well.
*lowers his head and scrunches his face up like he's in deep thought*
Only see in black and white and have no sense of depth.
*slowly points to some point far away*
Close and far. All the same to them.
*looks at him suddenly*
Whatever, that's an old puppy. Better put him to sleep.

There's no need for you to ramble on about dogs, Crouch. Everyone already knows you're barking.

*sends her patronus to him and it moves through his office, speaking in her voice, soft and subdued*
Can I see you? The Manor is- functioning properly but lacks marshmallows and marmalade.

(owls back)
Narcissa --
Certainly: the atmosphere is as expected, however, as the gargoyles have accepted my presence, no active resistance has been offered. All procedes.
Regarding the ingredients you asked after, while they can be obtained, I would not advise attempting such a brew in a platinum cauldron, and certainly not with the current state of the barometer. It better suits copper, if possible.

*nods obediently at Voldemort, keeping her gaze demurely on the ground then disapparates with a loud crack*
*arrives on the edge of Hogwarts' grounds then makes her way across to the entrance and navigates her way inside with a few choice words and haughty glance*
*waits at the entrance to the Headmaster's office, sending her patronus in once more*
I am at your door.

(eyebrows raise in surprise, and he goes down to open the gargoyles and meet her)

*tilts her head*
What is the headmaster's office like?

exsequeverus November 12 2007, 18:02:39 UTC

Cluttered.

bellicism November 12 2007, 21:38:49 UTC

Whose clutter is it, though? And what sort?

exsequeverus November 12 2007, 23:23:50 UTC

Late Headmasters on the walls, and otherwise, mainly Dumbledore's toys and sweets.

*nods*
Admirably done.

P.S. It took me this long to figure out what was going on here. *is oblivious* I think I've got it now. Of course, I'm still puzzling parts of it out, but that is why I love you and Sev so dearly. <3

exsequeverus November 15 2007, 07:29:19 UTC

(rather distraughtedly at the end of his rope)
Except that I seem to have left the creature a loophole. In-class detentions--who does in-class detentions??

Well, glad you came! ^,^ Sev really doesn't do very well in 2nd war without an Albus to flail all over. n,n;

humming_bee November 15 2007, 07:51:24 UTC

Yes, it shows a wildly unpredictable order of priorities. Unpredictable to any sane person, I suppose I should say.

*noticing his distress, continues gently*
You mustn't overburden yourself with guilt. Continue to take measures as you have so far; do as much as you can. That way, when the result deviates from what you expected, you will know that it is not for any lack of effort.

I don't suppose that's much comfort though, is it?

I've been planning to comment, I just wanted to have a good idea (I hope) of where you're going with it.

exsequeverus November 15 2007, 08:20:44 UTC

(still a little black raincloud, but somewhat soothed by the assurance that this wasn't something he was expected to see coming)
I can't extend them the excuse of insanity. Bootlickers with whips.

Not with curses strewn about the classroom like playthings, no.
(rueful, turning wry)
It is some consolation that they don't seem to realize this curriculum is a decidedly double-edged sword. Until I remember my current post as figurehead.

(hugs)
But my brain just shut off & has been staring at tag for smalltext for like 5 minutes. It must be me for the bed. u.u
