Authorised broomriding inside the school. I never thought I would see the day. Ingenious, really. And, if it hadn't been for the circumstances, such fun. Wouldn't it be simiply delicious if we could get rid of the stairs altogether? Then all the students would have to learn to fly properly, because, if they didn't, well, they wouldn' tbe able to ( Read more... )

Private.I do enjoy sitting back and letting drama erupt around me. Take the upcoming end of the quidditch season, for example. No two houses have ever thrown themselves into rivalry as much as Gryffindor and Slytherin do. Even their usually stoic Heads of House are at each others’ throats during the lead up to matches. My desk is littered with ( Read more... )

Locked now (grudgingly) against studentsCome now, come now, a vampire on the staff? If our dear Sevvie was a vampire, don't you think that we would have realised it long before now?

Almost all the students went home for the ( Read more... )

The school has been very busy lately, and it is no wonder that this journal has been pushed to the back of my mind. Christmas is approaching, and I intend to stay at Hogwarts. In other years I have visited relatives or friends, but the crone who called herself my mother finally gave up the ghost in May, so I am absolved from any familial duties ( Read more... )

Ah, the Halloween feast. Fun and frolics for all ages. Even grumpy old so and sos like Severus. If he'd bothered to turn up, that is. Shame, really. Last year, I'm sure I almost saw him smile. He bared his teeth, at least. And I'm sure he would have been delighted to have seen some of the costumes. Particularly Harry Potter's ( Read more... )

Wnie is goooooood. Argor brilliant fillius pomononona oooops! Fellover.

Albus had a quiet word with me in the staffroom about this journal. Apparently I haven't updated in several weeks. Ooops. I'm so ashamed. No, really.

Still, I'm sure you're all dying to hear what's new in my life. After all, I am such a fountain of excitement, aren't I? ... Shut up, Severus ( Read more... )

OOC Post: Being the dappy wench that I am, I thought I had posted this in the wondrous community hogwarts_live, but, in fact, hadn't. Do rest assured that the mods have removed the appropriate amount of toes as penance for this heinous crime ( Read more... )
