What happened this morning was horrible. I hope that everyone recovers and that they're able to figure out exactly who is responsible for it.

[Not "who did it," necessarily. There's a reason for that.]

When I'm from, there's only a particular group of people that tend to know and have reason to use magic as horrid as that. I do hope the Ministry is making certain to focus their attentions on said particular people, no matter what their time status is.

[She doubts it.]

There have been disappearances, yeah? What's being done about them?

I am looking for an available space to host a series of instructional classes. The main focus would concentrate on practical spell work as well as discussions on the nature of magic during specific moments in history. I am also available for private tutoring. Feel free to inquire within for any necessary credentials.

I don't suppose anyone could point me towards places that might be hiring? I'll even take the Ministry if they're willing.

On an entirely different note: Halloween plans. Who's got them?

Does this?

[ Following her conversation with the Minister, it has been decided that Helga will return to Hogwarts to teach, but as she cannot take the place of any of the currently employed teachers (nor would she want to), her subject is left up to her discretion. Left with so many options, she decides to take a poll: ]

Dearest gathered magical community, I have a question for you: (Specifically those of you who attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry)

Thinking back on your education there, were there any subjects which were not taught, that you would have liked to have seen? Or any areas which could do with further exploration? Having so recently come to this time from the past, I am having difficulty gauging the lesson style an average student these days might be used to seeing. Is there any magic that has fallen out of favor that could do with revival?

My many thanks for your responses.

Regards,
H. Hufflepuff

I have returned to brighten all of your lives, my dearest Wizarding community! Now, quickly tell me. What exciting things are happening as of late? Are there any scandals afoot? Am I the ever-vigilant antagonist in them?

And most importantly, are we or are we not ecstatic for Hallowe'en next month?

[ If you're feeling fancy and bored tonight (today, this morning..), here's a magic puzzle for you. It looks something like:

The parts can be re-arranged into two dozen different runes, which can then be translated into spells. The simpler ones, of which there are fifteen, simply make everything disappear when 'solved'. The remaining, more difficult nine are:

✧ Shimmery, translucent flowers appear around your head and shoulders, for about five minutes.
✧ BANG. Jumpscare.
✧ An enchanted doodle plays Hangman with you, the winning word changing periodically.
✧ Displays a recipe for zucchini bread. The best zucchini bread you've ever fucking had.
✧ Suggestions for what to try at the curry house in Hogsmeade.
✧ Creates a very cold feeling for about five minutes.
✧ Causes the message What else could you have been doing with your free time? to appear.
✧ Displays directions for a spell to turn nicotine cigarettes into clove cigarettes.
✧ Nothing. Unless you have a Dark Mark, in which case, a small black snake slithers into existence from the base of your wrist, wriggling to the inside of your elbow before vanishing.

Once each rune has been 'solved', the drawing vanishes, making doing more than one very difficult; the witch or wizard (or wizich) will have had to have made a copy or cast a charm to preserve it prior to fussing through everything.

I think I'm probably asking too much [ considering it's 1980 and some of the ingredients he uses in his work haven't even been discovered yet. ] but is anyone familiar with herbologists (professional or amateur) that grow or can otherwise obtain plants from South Africa?

In particular, I'm looking for Agathosma Barosma. I've a feeling I'm going to be doing some experimental substitution, though.

[ what follows is a quick sketch of what the plant looks like. for all that he claims he can't draw, he's not bad at this sort of illustration, anyway, mostly thanks to practice.

and of course, for anyone who's spent much time with teddy, his looping, scratchy scrawl is pretty characteristic and unique to him. ]

ANNOUNCEMENT

Hello time deviants! Here at the Ministry we'd like to help as many of you as possible, and that leads us to my announcement: underage time deviants will no longer need to look for work or pay for their residences. As they should be under someone's care, they are going to be under the care of the Ministry.

This is not to say that you will be allowed free reign over wizarding Britain, of course: the Ministry and Hogwarts are coordinating to put together a program that will allow all time deviants of schooling age to attend Hogwarts until graduation or they can be sent to their proper time, whichever comes first. It won't do for students to fall behind in their studies, after all.

All school supplies will be Ministry-provided at no cost to the students. All registered time deviants between the ages of 11 and 16 are expected to report to the Ministry by Friday. All students will be returning to Hogwarts over the week-end to allow themselves time to acclimate back into the dormitories.

We hope it will give you all a sense of home and familiarity in this frightening and uprooting time. A reminder: please register! We can't help you if you don't come in and tell us that you're here.

— Regulus Black.

I've always said there's no escaping the past, but this isn't exactly what I meant.

Were I a younger man, I think I might have tried to make a life here. As it stands now I just want to get home.

I've a question, however: is the registry being used to perhaps reunite those that may not find each other otherwise or is it simply a tracking mechanism? I personally don't need that sort of service but with the state of things it seems important to allow people familiarity.

If you were, or are, the type of student who didn't hand their homework in on time, then you are the worst sort of person.

On another note, what would you consider an apt punishment for a terrible crime?
