-but his soul remains alive-

[bobthewizard]

And that's that.

Just for clarification, is anybody actually still here?

*drifts up to the second floor; the script from his charmed quill goes all sharp with annoyance* ..Ah, how very predictable. I distinctly told Mr. Filch to leave the classroom door shut! And it looks like Peeves has already been in there. Well, that'll be another nasty mess

I'm still here, as well as Dr. Reid. We're based out of Hogwarts.

[bobthewizard]

*quite pleased, as he hasn't properly met this new TA yet* Ah! Well, that's a mercy. This old place can seem quite hollow in the summer.

..Could I prevail upon you to come up here and shut my classroom door? There'll be the devil to pay if the school cats get in here too.

[noheatnikki]

This place is kind of creepy without kids around, it's nice to know someone else is here.

I'll get that door for you. Do the school cats generally take over the school during the summer?

[bobthewizard]

*chuckles* Yes, well... some of us will always be here. About two thirds of the spirit population actually come with the castle; I'm one of the lucky few who doesn't.

That's very kind of you. Yes, well, they think they're the ones who really own the place, but it's harder to notice during the winter when there are students about.

[blindsoothsayer]

I'm here, although I may leave soon. I've been too distracted to fully pack up in time.

[bobthewizard]

Quite understandable. *smiles and rubs his hands briskly, though he's sad she won't be around* May your summer be fruitful and productive!

[blindsoothsayer]

I do hope so. Will I be seeing you at the teachers' retreat, Professor Bainbridge?

[bobthewizard]

*hmm, that is a question. he'd have to find someone to transport his skull, and he'd rather as few people knew about that as possible.... fortunately Spencer knows and he's still here* Yes, there's every likelihood. I'll hope to encounter you there, then!

[[I um still need to look up the information about that. XDDDDDD]]

[numbersnfigures]

Yeah, as Beckett mentioned, we're still here for the summer. Rather nice place when there's not kids around, isn't it?

[bobthewizard]

*smiles, though with Spencer around he makes a mental note to confine his Restricted Section research to the wee hours when he hopes no one will be in the library* Oh, yes. The silent, echoing corridors are to die for.

[numbersnfigures]

They are! It's quite pleasant. No students, no classes, endless free time to wander and think, and still 3 meals a day made by the house elves. Why on earth would I want to go back to the Ministry office in Edinburgh?

How's that research of yours coming?

[bobthewizard]

True -- a veritable paradise!

......... Well, I may have discovered a few fruitful avenues of inquiry. *lies; is still at square one* It had better not have been in one of the books I burnt last year.
