It's been bloody well too long since I've updated here, mostly because every time I sit down, something comes up that I CAN'T ignore. Between my teachers adopting children, keeping up-to-date around the school, the upcoming wedding (an utter nightmare), and other matters which I do not feel free to discuss. Really, prattling on about things which are alternately official business and private matters...
Severus, really, I did my best.
Days keep blurring when I stop paying attention, and then one day I wake up as a cat with a very suspicious goblet sitting next to my bed. I suppose I should consider myself glad that people around here are trying to keep me from going crazy, but...
Well, I certainly understand how Albus managed to lose sight of what we believed to be very important matters. It's impossible to remember everything...
For some reason, Sibyl has decided to start sending me my daily horoscope by owl; she claims it is to 'enlighten me to the possibilities and dangers of each dawning day'. I think she's starting to figure that no one listens to her...
What I wouldn't give for a classical Divinations teacher whose gift worked even half the time. Two predictions out of thousands is not a good average.
However, I have discovered several wonderful tricks for getting paperwork done. First, I can foist this stuff off on anyone by claiming it's in their job description. And I have been getting rather broad about that point. Secondly, there are a lot less crises that absolutely require my attention when I am not to be found by any except Mrs. Norris, Filch, and a certain Messieurs Moony and Padfoot. You know, Sirius, if it weren't clearly off-topic for a Transfiguration class, I'd tell you to teach your students some of the magic that went into the Marauders Map. It's quite a lovely bit of magic. Of course, that's assuming you actually know how it works...
Maybe you should offer a supplementary class...extra credit for Charms or something.
No! Bad Minnie! Do NOT make more work for yourself!
All right, I seem to have devoured all of my free time, so until next time...adieu.
