[[Private, unhackable]]

Dark portents... not that an acromantula crossing onto the school grounds is disturbing enough; I thought the wards were supposed to take care of those matters -- but something is raising my hackles, which is a good trick, seeing as I'm DEAD. My writing won't stay in the air and if I actually ever had a grave, I'd imagine that someone was treading it deeper at this very moment. Perhaps I should stay in my skull until it all blows over.....

*sticking his head out through the closed door* On the other hand, current events are giving me an excellent chance to observe cats in their natural environment. I wonder if one of these animals is Professor Soong's?

To the Gryffindor student who left his or her bookbag in the outer hall beside my door, Mrs. Norris and several of her ilk are taking an undue interest in it, so I would advise you to collect it immediately before it is dragged off and demolished. What's in there, kippers?


[[Jumping on the general bandwagon of something-feels-off, if that's okay. Feel free to claim the bag (or any of the cats).]]

Cat ears?? *drily* I must have missed that one. Is Hogwarts always this... lively?

I think it depends on some insane factor like the position of the moon in relation to the Zodiac. Or just the whims of the school, whichever sounds best.

[XD It's cool.]

*lip quirks a bit, makes a show of glancing around, as though expecting something to happen at once; sighs* I've never resided in such a heavily bespelled building. One can't wonder if it's developed some manner of sentience over the ages. And yet I hear there was an acromantula inside the school grounds.....

Maybe it has? I heard about that- didn't it attack someone?

[bobthewizard.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't be at all surprised. *surprises himself by being a little spooked at the idea*

It did. The COMC TA, I believe; though I hear he was found and treated promptly.

[13oclockking.livejournal.com]

Lucky for him. I've heard attacks from those things can be lethal.

*nods* It makes me wonder how heavily the school is actually protected. Do you know offhand who's responsible for maintaining the wards?

[13oclockking.livejournal.com]

Actually, now that you ask, no. I always thought the Headmaster handled that sort of thing.

I think I'll ask around, then. *slight bow, withdraws toward his door*
