Further Announcement about Ancient Runes

I have been asked to clarify the requirements for next year's curriculum. You do not have to know a second language in order to take the class. It is called Ancient Runes, not Ancient Dialects. While the class will briefly cover the definitions, origins, and branches of language, those subjects will be strictly background material to the study of letters, runes, hieroglyphics, and other symbols used in wizardry. Bring your English, and you may actually learn something.

*whips around, searching for the source of the noise; there's nothing broken on the brief bookshelf, nothing on the floor, nothing that could make a sound like that*

-plink-

*looking up*

..Oh.

-plink-

*all the frustration in the world* If somebody will come to my office, they will find a minor leak in my ceiling. I would take it kindly if it were to be fixed before it wears a hole through my skull or the books beneath it are damaged beyond

-plink-

--recovery. *fumes*


[[The leaky water pipe in Bob's ceiling is dripping directly onto his skull and rapidly becoming worse, so if nobody shows up for a while, his crude bookcase is going to be very wet. Please, someone, think of the books! XD]]

Hm? I wanted an excuse to leave my room for a while, I'm on my way.

[-shoves Jareth into the hallway- Go, goblin king, be sociable! XD]

*standing in his tiny, cramped office, glaring up at the leak* Well, that's lucky. Thank you; much appreciated.


[[XD!]]

*arrives a few minutes later, looks at the leak* Hm.. *pulls out wand and aims* Reparo. *watches as the leak begins to slowly mend, frowns* It should work quicker than that.

*standing in the table to make room for Jareth, peers up at the leak*

Strange... hold on a minute.

*floats up and sticks his head in the ceiling*

*descends* Ugh, I shall never get used to that sensation... The section hit by your spell is fixed, but the pipe is rusty for several feet and there's a significant portion in danger of giving way. Also, a pool of water has accumulated in the ceiling itself. A few more spells and a drying charm should do it.

*grumbles something about Hogwarts needing a matinence crew, fires off a few more Reparo's and a drying charm*

Re: Filtered

[bobthewizard.livejournal.com]

*sighs in ill-concealed relief as the dripping stops, raises brows at Jareth*

Thank you; that was well done.

Re: Filtered

[13oclockking.livejournal.com]

You're welcome, and I know.

*smirks; cocky little brat, aren't you?*


[[XD!]]

Re: Filtered

[13oclockking.livejournal.com]

*smiles~*

Well, if you don't need anything else, I'll be on my way. *turns to leave*

Re: Filtered

[bobthewizard.livejournal.com]

*negligent handwave* As you wish; though if the office were a little larger, I certainly wouldn't mind the company. It does get tedious down here sometimes.


[[I'm going to make the office bigger eventually, but... *swats Bob* At least he's trying to be social.... XD]]

Re: Filtered

[13oclockking.livejournal.com]

Oh? Well, if that ever happens, let me know. Grading paper after paper gets very boring, very quickly.

[XD Yay for trying? So's Jareth, actually. It's amusing.]

Re: Filtered

[bobthewizard.livejournal.com]

Oh, decidedly. *wry grin* Yes, when that happy day comes, I shall indeed let you know. Any excuse for a party. */sarcasm*


[[Yep. Go, burgeoning camaraderie between not-very-social people! XD]]

Re: Filtered

[13oclockking.livejournal.com]

Good- I'll mark the day on my calendar, then.

[Indeed XD]

[myeyes-uphere.livejournal.com]

Do you still require assistance with that, sir? Wouldn't want you to be mouldy, would we now?

[[She (metaphorically) pulls his hair, cause she knows he can't deduct points. HUR HUR, TO BE A GROWN UP!]]

Re: Filtered.

[bobthewizard.livejournal.com]

*FUMES* Oh, of course not; mildew is definitely counterindicated in this case. Unfortunately, I believe the situation is already under control. *feel teh irony* Thank you, though, for your kind offer of assistance; it is something that I certainly won't forget.

[[*cackles* Yay!]]

Re: Filtered.

[myeyes-uphere.livejournal.com]

*would pat your head if you had one?* Then all's well in the world. *smirk* I know.

Re: Filtered.

[bobthewizard.livejournal.com]

Oh, yes, quite, everything's coming up roses. *eyeroll*

Re: Filtered.

[myeyes-uphere.livejournal.com]

That's possitive. See life in pink, sir.

Re: Filtered.

[bobthewizard.livejournal.com]

Pink!? Oh, I once had a fine set of rose-colored glasses, but alas, they kept falling off.

Re: Filtered.

[myeyes-uphere.livejournal.com]

I take it you don't like pink? How about grey? That should do it.

Re: Filtered.

[bobthewizard.livejournal.com]

*gnashes insubstantial teeth* You try to be colorful when there's water dripping through your head.

On second thought, don't.

Re: Filtered.

[myeyes-uphere.livejournal.com]

*chuckle* My dear professor, have I annoyed you?

Re: Filtered.

[bobthewizard.livejournal.com]

*sighs, shakes head* Almost as much as the leak in my blasted ceiling. You'll have to try harder to surpass that.

Re: Filtered.

[myeyes-uphere.livejournal.com]

*perks up* Was that a challenge?

Re: Filtered.

[bobthewizard.livejournal.com]

Good heavens, no. Why should I? You'll do what you like at any rate.

[tough--love.livejournal.com]

Has the leak in your office been repaired, sir?

Re: Filtered

[bobthewizard.livejournal.com]

It has; but thank you for your concern.
