-my mind may be wandering, but I confess-

*amused* Some of you may be pleased to know that the wards on my classroom have been altered so as not to permit the latest curse.

Others may not be as pleased... because the precaution has been taken in anticipation of a test for which you will all be revising during the beginning of this week. Having everyone's thoughts public would be less than conducive to such a proceeding, don't you think? *smirks*

This will be a preliminary test to your end-of-the-year exams, and will comprise everything on the curriculum from the beginning of the year to the winter break. The second half of the preliminary exam will take place next week. Those of you who are preparing for OWLs and NEWTs are advised to peruse your notes very, very carefully.


*unfortunately, his journal is still down in his tiny office, so the following strikeout is somewhat less than stricken* There, that should wake them all up. ..Has anybody seen my cat?


[[Totally private, to the tune of 100% hackability]]

There must be somewhere where hapless students won't trip over them every five seconds -- but when the exam materials are shipped in there will be no room in here. What to do, what to do.....

*meanwhile, on the seventh floor, a tattooed, hairless cat is having a fine old time chasing a number of crabs perilously close to the edge of the stairwell*


[[By 'them', Bob refers to certain Dark textbooks which he's taken out of the Restricted Section in order to restrict them a bit more than Dumbledore has seen fit. XD And if your character was around back in December when everyone got a pet crab, feel free to have your crab be among those that Marco is pestering!]]

*quiet laugh, kneels down and pats Marco* Yeah, a mouse. I found one in the forest and was keeping it just for you. *didn't really, but can conjure one easily enough*

*loud laugh at the cat's thoughts, blank sparklies swirl over his head as he concentrates on the spell, discreet wand twitch and two live mice appear on the floor in front of Marco*

There ya go.

*hisses and shakes the cat and mouse off, wincing at the pain in his thigh from claws digging in, big, colorful curses are blotted out by the sparklies*

*wouldn't have dug those claws in if Dwayne hadn't been so inhospitable* =>_<=

*sulks for a moment, takes time to whack the second mouse against the wall, sulks again, stalks around with his tail in the air, pounces on the first mouse, looks up with a general expression of SULK, and continues playing with his food*

.... *get the message very clearly* >.< *can't stand animals not liking him, huffs, sulks himself, scuffs a boot against the floor and sighs*

*flicks his wand and sends the second mouse floating into the air, dangles it above Marco, watches is squirm*

MRRRW! Ah, you're going to be fun again!~ *up on his hind legs, batting at the mouse, confident that Dwayne is enjoying the game as much as he is*

*moves the mouse around in the air, zig zagging it and making it climb the wall, snickers at Marco's thoughts*

David and Marko would kill me if I brought this one home.... *tempted*

*blissfully unaware of this line of thought, Marco crouches at the base of the wall, tail twitching, leaping at the mouse whenever it seems to descend within reach*
