Hufflepuffs, come directly- and I mean RIGHT NOW- to the Great Hall if you're not there already. I shall be along directly.
Children, I know I've not been here for you as I should. I've failed too many of you, and left the rest to gather dust. Someday I may have the temerity to ask you to forgive me.

For once, I am going to DO SOMETHING ABOUT ( Read more... )

I've reacquainted myself with these words in the last day or two.

I expect to see all of you in the Common Room THIS VERY INSTANT, IF NOT SOONER.

Shift yourselves, children. I'm on my way down from Infirmary.

If any students have need of me this weekend, I shall be moving frequently between the Greenhouses and the Infirmary. Anyone who wishes to bring assignments to me for review may find me at one of those two locations ( Read more... )

Some disturbing things have gone on in the last several days. As we contemplate these disturbing things, I think that we would do well to remember that appearances can be deceiving, and that a story related by a number of people will have a proportionate number of variations ( Read more... )
