[01] Intro, Class list & prep work
Ahh~ Hello everyone, Izaya Orihara here~! perhaps some of you will remember me?~ It's been a long long time and I'm very happy and very proud to be back at Hogwarts. I've missed my old friends and acquaintances so much. Walking through the halls has given me such a pleasurable feeling of nostalgia (apart from that unpleasant scrawl Shizu-chan happened to have made in his excuse for a journal. How does that protozoic creature even keep one? Does he know how to read? Ah, I think he's probably trying to come after me...)
In any case, I'm writing to introduce myself as your new Muggle Studies teacher. I'm so excited to be teaching this subject~ These days, wizards often forget that Muggles are humans too (how frightening!), and humanity has become more fascinating, more exciting, and more unpredictable than ever before! I hope that I can share this passion for humanity with all of you!~ Nevertheless, some of you may still be mildly surprised by my choice of job, especially since i have been away so long and never really expressed much interest in academia. By way of brief explanation, so many things can happen in such a short time, and any thoughts should be reserved for your own journals (I will look forward to reading them there - remember, I'm the same person as i always was, so don't hold back, haha~! I'm serious.... )
In any case, I am here to discuss the course of education I will be offering to you so generously this year~

More in-depth homework will be set shortly, though I would hope that each of you will have finished reading at least the first two chapters of your set text of the year, ready for discussion in the next lesson.
Those of you in the upper years (6+), please prepare an introductory speech, results of which I will be expecting in the next homework post.
Please correct me if I have made any errors in the class list, it is also not too late to sign up if you so wish!
Ah, with those unpleasantries done, I must bid you the best of luck for this next school year. What i would give to be your age again! Please remember to make the most of your time here, and while you must study hard, all work and no play will make you all very dull boys and girls, and we just cannot have that!

I'd still like it very much if Shizu-chan were to die soon... even if he's useful sometimes.... should a teacher still have such thoughts? hahaha--
