Class followup

[alt_antonin]

I have seen several of our Gryffindor and Hufflepuff fifth-year students discussing the locking spell we covered in lecture on Wednesday, and several of our Slytherin and Ravenclaw students looking forward to the lesson on Friday (at which, yes, we will cover the same spell). I have not wished to intrude in your discussions: however, if you have any questions that were not covered in class, feel free to ask them. I will happily answer, though my schedule today is such that I may not be able to answer questions in advance of tomorrow's Slytherin/Ravenclaw lecture.

Private Message to Narcissa Malfoy

Milaya -- by any chance, do you happen to be reading at the moment?

I seem to find myself in a bit of farce with one of my students above; I'm not certain what but it does appear to be. Well.

Do you recognize the publisher or author at all? (Or should I ask Lyoushka?)

Puzzled,

Tosha,

No, we're at the opera. Your timing could not be better; it's the interval. And we're considering leaving but -

Well. At any rate, I've my journal charmed to notify me if one of my dearest is trying to reach me.

Let me read through your journal.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh, dear. Oh, Tosha. I should have -

Oh, but no one would have confused the two, surely?

It's just the sort of thing Nasturtium Brown would read, too.

Toshenka, it so happens that just a few months ago, a rather sordid and highly pornographic, er, 'novel,' for lack of a better word, was published with the name Intra Profundis. It seems the inimitably odd Miss Lovegood helped herself to her foster-mother's secret guilty pleasure.

You'll have to supply her with the correct volume. Though I daresay she's just had an entirely different sort of education!

Oh dear.

Oh dear.

And I've just read her essay, too. I haven't the faintest idea how I'll look her in the eye next week. Oh dear.

I'm never going to hear the end of this, am I. What on earth possessed them to use that title?

Re: Private Message to Narcissa Malfoy

Really, I think one with your experience could answer that question for yourself.

But you'll be pleased to know that your Lyoushka has seized on this 'emergency' as a perfect excuse to leave this dreadful opera.

I'll leave you to your own opera, shall I?

Glad to be of service. ...I don't suppose there's any chance of convincing you not to tell Barty about this?

This is not what I had in mind when I was warned about the dangers of the classroom.

Oh, my dear love,

Why do you think your little brother demanded we leave immediately?

Do have another look at Miss Lovegood's comments. And recall that you asked me to look them over.

All Barty needs to do is come and read it for himself.

Now. Where is he this evening ...? Let me see if I can remember ....

Little flower, have I mentioned lately how utterly evil you are?

Re: Private Message to Narcissa Malfoy

[alt_narcissa]

Well, I did not learn from the учитель, but I do my best to keep up with you boys.

The next time someone accuses me of being a morally bankrupt degenerate I KNOW WHERE I AM POINTING INSTEAD.
