[ A quick update to keep this account from being deleted and purged. I don't play anymore, not in this game at least, but I don't want past input vanishing because LJ has a wild hair to free up server space. ]

OWL and NEWT level Transfiguration students.Professor McGonagall has asked me to temporarily assist her with your courses, as she is for the moment indisposed with her duties as Headmistress. I am told the OWL practical lesson this week involves the transmutation of fibers, and the NEWT class will be working with shifting between states of matter- ( Read more... )

To first-year Transfiguration students:

In response to several requests, I am extending the deadline for your latest essay. It will now be due the date of your next practical, rather than tomorrow's lesson. It is to be turned in at the beginning of the class, lest there arise any confusion over that particular point ( Read more... )

Has Severus always been a snake, Minerva, or is this a recent development? I ask in the literal, rather than the metaphorical sense.

Private.

That snake. That slippery, conniving, slimy little bastard! I spend a solid half an hour slinking around after a gorgeous specimen of ratly haute cuisine and what happens? Some ( Read more... )

I can do this. I can do this. I can do this.

I don't know what it is or how it got in there but it is loud and it has locked itself in and I would dearly like to sharpen my claws on the bloody thing but I can't get into my own bathroom and if it does not vacate my litterbox my rooms immediately the situation will become VERY SODDING UGLY INDEED.

I rather suspect I'm due a day or two of respite before beginning practical exploration into the topic ( Read more... )

A good thing, I suppose, I am no angel, although the alternative is not entirely appealing. Still, I imagine I've avoided foolishness, for the greater part ( Read more... )
