[ 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.
