My first week
Well, I must admit that so far I have found this "internet" and the Desperatefans community to be rather enjoyable. I've met some very interesting and friendly people, and I've also been able to speak with a few of my students (both past and present) as well as Severus Snape. My typist, silly girl that she is, is practically giddy everytime she has a bit of spare time to act as my typist. I am a bit disappointed that she decided to join the chat today, rather than work on an assignment for one of her classes. I can't say that I approve, but she is 20 years old after all. She is an adult and must make her own decisions, even if I don't approve. The best I can do is offer my advice.
I actually did enjoy myself on the chat today. I spoke to some very entertaining people (all Muggles, but quite pleasant regardless) this evening. I only fear that I may have, at best, made them uncomfortable, and at worst, frightened them, with my magical abilities. I feel rather embarrassed that I used my magical ablities for such frivolous purposes. It wasn't my original intent to show off for them, but I'm afraid that that is precisely what it came across as. *Sigh* I admit, it is a bit awkward, trying to make friends at my age, especially when the DF members are mostly Muggles. After living my seventy years in the almost exclusive company of magical persons, I admit haven't had much previous interaction with Muggles, and so I wasn't sure how to behave in front of them. I must say, it feels rather peculiar to feel so insecure and awkward; I haven't felt like this since my schooldays. I feel rather embarrassed about it. Goodness me! How I've prattled on about such foolish things. I sound like one of my students!
I have also been notified of some recent events that have shocked, and frankly, disappointed me a bit. I learned that my most outstanding student is carrying a child. I could hardly believe what I was reading when I received her owl. I was shocked to say the least. Of all of my students for this to have happened to, Miss Granger is the very last I would have expected it from. That said, she has been no doubt lectured enough and stands to face some hardships as she attempts to continue her education. She's a very intelligent and responsible young lady, and I know that she will make wise decisions. I let her know that I am available if she needs any assistance or guidance, and I hope that I will be able to contact Dumbledore sometime soon so that we will be able to make arrangements in order to appropriately deal with this...situation so that Miss Granger and the school staff will be prepared by the start of the next school year, which isn't far off.
It's been quite a first week for me, and even though the week's events haven't all been positive, I genuinely look forward to what is to come. *Sighs* At least my typist's choice of music today is more pleasant than that...*shudders*...that atrocious noise she was listening to the last time. If only I could choose our background music...but unfortunately for me, she has control of that.
[Typist: Darn right, Minnie. It's my, laptop, so I get to pick the music!]
*Is indignant* Well, I...well...and I asked you not to call me that!
[Typist: *Smirks*]
*Rolls her eyes* Oh, well...
