I am back.

In Hogwarts.

It's bloody disquieting, to say in the least. One day I'm tossing bottles of wine at Daphne in the flat and hiding from everybody at the Zabini wedding; the next I'm on a train in a 'special compartment' reserved for Advanced Learning Students (but we might as well have the plague). They've given me a room in the dungeons as

Oh God Pans, save me. These children are killing me with their brainlessness. And to think that they've been sorted into Slytherin!

I'm excited abiut my classes as well.

See you at lunch, and if you can't seem to keep anything down, I've got a bottle upstairs with your name on it.

[theworldofvain]

I looked at one, and she looked back, and we just kept looking at each other for a few minutes and then she burst into tears. I swear to God I did nothing. I mean really, do I look that frightening?

I'm sure I'll be famished after looking at kidneys and pancreas and bits of lung and so on. How many did you manage to stash?

[saucy_slytherin]

You two think you have it bad? Try teaching the little buggers! They are the most obnoxious little twats I have ever met! Surely, we weren't half as bad... Thank Merlin you two are here...

I'm so pleased that the department of the Ministry that I've decided to spend the rest of my life being a slave to is not making me go back to Hogwarts. I can't imagine having to deal with eleven year olds right now.

I'm sure you're enjoying the fear you're putting into each and every one of their cold little hearts, though.

[theworldofvain]

I just want to wrap them all in a large ball and roll them around the grounds. They're terribly afraid of the Giant Squid. What happened to the good old days, when all anyone wanted to do was pet the old thing? Now girls cry if they get pushed into the lake. Their generation is going nowhere, I tell you.

That's quite a visual you invoke there, Parkinson. I can just imagine a bunch of tiny children rolling around the school.

It's quite a shame about the Giant Squid. If they're scared of the lake and the squid, I hate to see what they're like when they have to deal with Professor Snape.

[theworldofvain]

I will tie them all together with extra-strength gum, and they shall never be free. Rolling, rolling, rolling...all fall down. Ho-hum.

There will be a casaulty list posted in the Great Hall every afternoon. Poor children. Or should I say poor Snape? Perhaps it goes both ways.

[bloodserpent]

That was you hiding?

I thought you just had a nervous breakdown behind the pot plant.

I'm quite disappointed. I thought you would help me have a little fun.

By the way, how the hell did those other dickheads from last year end up with jobs while I'm still stuck in Craphole Castle? That doesn't make sense.

[theworldofvain]

Nervous breakdown? Whatever prompted you to evoke that image? Okay, it was very hard to resist whatever was in the mousse. I detected lots of vodka, but one can never be sure.

'Fun'. Right. Your idea of fun varies from time to time, so I'd thought to keep away from you. Besides, Amanda--or Pauline--or Daisy, I don't remember which one she was--looked a beaming sight on your arm. Or was it she having all the fun and not you?

Ambition, I suppose. We had counseling, or something. Why don't you get a job?

[bloodserpent]

Maybe the fact you seemed to be curled into a ball? Ha, you liked my idea? I tried to persuade Cook to put something else into the mousse but he didn't think it was such a good idea. Probably would have been a waste of Mum's potion anyway.

Pansy, you really don't think much of me, do you? Isobel (for that was her name) isn't really as exciting as I thought. She kept acting like she was my fucking wife or something. Crazy bitch. Then, when I told her to loosen her grip on my arm, she chucked some little hissy fit and stalked off.

I have ambition. Wizarding Architecture, remember? But I failed Transfiguration. Gotta do Advanced Studies.

[raventwin_padma]

I'm not sure how I will handle the autopsy sit-in. I'm a bit frightened... But all of the classes and lectures are very interesting.

[_indian_goddess]

Don't worry, Padma, you'll be all right. I couldn't even look at those pictures in your big-as-my-head books. Autopsy. Eww.

Pansy, good luck, I guess. I would have loved to go back to Hogwarts. But not for the study! I hated that so much. I loved the Rumour Mill though. Never a dull moment. Well, have fun with the fresh-faced know-nothings.

[mari_the_sneak]

Thank goodness I already went through Advanced Studies. I'd go ruddy mad if I had to deal with 11 year olds again.

Autopsy sit-in? Oh merlin...good luck Parkinson.
