Getting hit in the face with a charmed chair is not my idea of pleasant. Sibyll fares just as poorly as I, with that rather unwieldy hat. She had better appreciate all of this. Come to think of it, I'm not sure how I agreed to this arrangement anyway. Hm.

I deign to post for two reasons.

1.) Because the whole world, most especially myself, cares so much about what the Malfoys gave each other for their anniversary. As if their back to back community dispatches were something other than the both of them smugly and oh-so-subtly saying "Look upon these posts and despair, oh lowly ones, for you will ( Read more... )

This year is not the year.

Am not particularly looking forward to school opening again. I do wish Sibyll wouldn't have holed up in her tower for most of summer, since we're getting along so splendidly now, even if she does tend to prattle on about her "wee-jah" board at times ( Read more... )

I am firmly convinced that Sibyll is the only sane person left in the entire world. Evidence leading up to this ( Read more... )

I've been back from Switzerland for about two weeks (having been detained by a musical interlude or six-- complete disaster easily averted due to a few well-placed hexes, ta potions_master for the heads-up), and am back in habitation at my chambers (which are not by any means restricted to the broom shed, thank you very much) in the school.

QuicklyI'm staying in a complete hovel of an inn at the foot of the Alps outside Altdorf, where everyone speaks either Romansh or Troll. It has stormed for a week. Recently I was propositioned by a shaggy seven-foot beast ( Read more... )

Should not even leave suite any more. Upon rising to greet the day at a respectable 2 pm, promptly received a handful of leprechaun gold in the face. Gave as good as I got, so I expect whoever felt the need to set the little cretins loose in the building will be missing a few or six whenever they kindly round them up-- that is, if there's any left ( Read more... )

Loathe insipid students; loathe insipid holiday.

However, one bright spot here. Apparently Sirius has determined (thankfully) that freshly scraped-off-the-pavement animal pelts are 'out' (Perhaps he should attend blondenarcissa's little jamboree and speak about the merits of fuschia versus lilac? I'm sure the students would benefit from his expert wisdom) and ( Read more... )

The Malfoy party proved far more entertaining than even Sibyll could have predicted ( Read more... )
