I imagine most of you will be befuddled and gobsmacked to find that the aging members of staff here at Hogwarts have acquired these magical journals, but I assure you it is all for the best! We are only thinking of you, after all - your educations, your safety and so on; what better way to remind you of upcoming student events, due-dates for ( Read more... )

Urgent business called me away from the school for a week or so (much against my will and better judgement, might I add), and what was I to find upon my return?

Students missing, students taken ill, students neglecting to turn up for classes, students threatening the lives of other students...

This must ceaseRarely will you find me the sort of ( Read more... )

I apologise to all of you for my lack of presence here in the 'digital world'. Things 'IRL' (haha! Do the rest of you not find muggle 'internet slang' to be most amusing? I know that I do!) have been consuming me entirely (quite literally, in the case of the giant venus fly trap Mdm. Sprout introduced me to on Sunday evening) and I simply haven' ( Read more... )

I apologise to those of you who do not find your new housing arrangements to your liking. Know that were it up to me, they would probably have been a little different - but these days everything is going through the Ministry. One can't breath without first checking to see if it's alright with the Ministry. So if you must rant and rave, kindly ( Read more... )

Students selected for the Ministry's private 'special ability' course/program/club/association/organisation/thing (why is it this symposium is as yet un-named? Mr. Sneevley, perhaps you would be so kind as to inform me of a shorter title by which I might call it?) - take heed:

The suspicious inimittable Mr. Sneevely has requested your presence on ( Read more... )

The Halloween Feast -

Will take place, as usual, on the evening of October the 31st, in the Great Hall.

Welcome back, Students, for another corking year at Hogwarts!

Most of the ministry officials have now vacated the premises, although i'm loath to announce that Fudge's new deputy, Sneevely, has stayed behind to 'oversee' some new arrangements which have been/will be put in to place in the near future ( Read more... )

Chaos, at the moment, reigns. Not something I like to admit - and I will put your minds at ease by saying that it is a relatively controlled kind of chaos. The reason your start of term date has been put back is due to this 'controlled chaos'. I will elaborate shortly ( Read more... )

I am terribly aggrieved to hear of the difficulties you seventh years had with your examinations. I cannot offer you any explanation, i'm afraid, as I have no personal hand in organising the papers - they come (as you would have read, here) from the ministry, and are presided over to a degree by Fudge. And as most of you will know, The Minister ( Read more... )
