Whoever had hall duty last night has a lot of explaining to do. I'm appalled at the number of missing and hungover students in my classes today. Needless to say, each student missing is losing points for his or her House, unless they have a legitimate complaint of illness, which Madame Pomfrey will inform me of ( Read more... )

Today I get guard duty, what a joy. Having to argue with the students who think they just must be allowed into castle for some reason or another; it's patently ridiculous what excuses they come up with. I really don't have the head for this today. Not with this damn hangover.I can't even begin to detail what a disastrous weekend this has been. ( Read more... )

The announcement was made at breakfast that there are no potions classes today. Damn creatures. I also will be unavailable today, as the headmaster already knows. Watching a group of hormone-driven preteens and teenagers, even if they are Slytherins, allows no sleep, and I desperately need some.

I am not bothering to respond to every outraged protest a student gave against detention. Suffice it to say that I found their conduct extremely disrespectful.

It would be wise of students to watch their steps for a few days, since even mentioning the... incident from the other day might just be cause for punishment.

What is this compulsion in my pants? Whatever it is is driving me absolutely insane... in my pants. And why can't I even type without something occuring... in my pants?

I swear, when I find out who is responsible for this, they will be in a world of pain... in my pants. I'm going to have to invent new ways to torture them... in my pants.

The tutoring sessions seem to be going decently; I've stopped supervising them, though both students know that I will be checking in on occasion. That's one less thing to worry about, at least.

I don't know what in creation is wrong with Remus Lupin people. Calling me down at all hours to correct simple mistakes. I don't understand it at all.

One would have thought that people hired to grade OWLs would be less than complete morons, but that apparently is not the case. How could someone not notice that their eyesight is not only going but has apparently completely fled? I almost wonder if this isn't another conspiracy to give Potter whatever he wants, Potions being needed for his ( Read more... )

Ironic, is it not, that all of the Gryffindor boys seem to be fine again now that Potter is out of the hospital wing? Don't think that the lot of you have fooled everyone.

Interesting how such a high number of Gryffindors have ended up in the hospital wing this week... There seems to be a link among their maladies, if I could only put my finger on it.

Anyone who is caught shirking off my class, however, will be severely punished. You would do well to confine your grievances until after Potions.

While searching through my files today, I came across a peculiar discovery. It was gooey, deformed, moldy, and had a note attached stating To Professor Snape, From the Weasles. Yes, weasles, though the penmanship was atrocious ( Read more... )
