A Note to All Students

[occlumens_snape]

For all students who have found their way to this message, I congratulate for having intelligence greater than the average simian. I would like to remind all students that all comments publically aired in this journal shall be treated as spoken words, so I would be very careful with what you have to say. I do expect the students of Slytherin

Comments

Those are...a prop.

[hexed against students]
We'll see.

Half a year? I've never heard of something like that.
After the students are asleep then?[/hex]

[occlumens_snape]

If you're trying to improve your sexual appeal because of the Daily Prophet poll that women think men with glasses are more attractive, it will take a great deal more than that.

[hexed against students]
Why should you be any different from anyone else?

Surely you've heard of Stalingrad.

Yes, that works, but that requires you leaving the laptop behind you. So I really do get the last word.[/hex]

[msr_moony]

And who would you suggest I woo?

[hexed against students]
Because I am obstinate to the end.

Yes as a matter of fact I have.

.............you win.....[/hex]

[occlumens_snape]

A woman who is not a student, unless you want to be forced to resign again.

[hexed against students]
Obviously. If you address me informally in front of students, the nailgrowing hex will look mild.

Yes, then, you have heard of an event where people stayed awake disturbingly long periods of time.

I win twice in one night and it's uncontested. Has hell frozen over?[/hex]

[msr_moony]

Well obviously. It hardly leaves many options now does it?

[hexed against students]
Yes it has. Again. [/hex]

There is all the female staff of Hogwarts, the ghosts, and every single woman in Hogesmeade. If any of them would have you.

[hexed against students]
No pointless obscenity? No rudely irritating 'nickname' to display that Gryffindor stupidity? Now you're not even trying. Just give up and console yourself with chocolate and lesson plans. [/hex]

[msr_moony]

Precisely. None of them would.

[hexed against students]
None. I remain here by an act of sheer will only. But it too, is quickly dying. Perhaps our war must reconvene at another time.[/hex]

[occlumens_snape]

And such is your fate or misfortunate, blessing or curse, as you like it.

[hexed against students]
You've lasted several admirable hours, but that old saying seems to hold true; when the night comes, a Slytherin shall always outperform the other houses. I doubt the headmaster will be pleased if we are 'at war'. Doubtless if it comes out it will be necissary for some thing that would humiliate you to "reconcile" us as we are both teachers. Perhaps you should rephrase.[/hex]

[msr_moony]

Woe is me

[hexed against students]
I suppose a slytherin would know. ...another excellent point. What would YOU call it then?[/hex]

[occlumens_snape]

Then rumors were unfounded.

[hexed against students]
I, personally? Would call it the remnants of a former rivalry. Or a verbally abusive working relationship. You have gravely insulted me, after all.[/hex]

[msr_moony]

[hexed against students]
A very dysfunctional marriage from Hell? You still started it.[/hex]

[occlumens_snape]

[hexed against students]
...hello Kate.[/hex]
