My, but it's a lovely day out ( Read more... )

It's good to know that even though I am no longer at the school, you will all still entertain me greatly on a regular basis ( Read more... )

When I was a child, my mother and father kept only wizarding books in the house. When I came into the care of my grandmother she read to me from a mix of wizard and Muggle books, sparking an interest in the latter that carried me through adolescence and well into adulthood. Even now I am more like to pick up a copy of Alice In Wonderland than I am ( Read more... )

Thank God Almighty, I'm free at last ( Read more... )

All good things must come to an end, and while I have enjoyed my time at Hogwarts I'm afraid that I will not be returning to teach there again.

But everything's where it should be in case he sends anyone in looking for something. Which I doubt, since he will likely ignore everything I've written out for him in favour of educating you all on the eating habits of ( Read more... )

I am packed. Not that I am really taking that much. I've a rucksack to carry with me while I'm on the move and a smaller case with a few changes of robes. I considered bringing a book or two, but I doubt I'll have much time for reading ( Read more... )

And here I thought it actually meant something.

Shame on me.

Unless you're Harry Potter or Sirius Black, leave me the hell alone.
