Hell9, students 9f H9gwarts and students at heart. 6eginning this m9st auspici9us year at 9ur prestigi9us academy, there are n9netheless s9me predictca6le c9cnerns to 6e raised in any such diverse gr9up 9f individuals. I shall attempt t9 6e 6rief.

9ver time I have n9ticed a startling lack of c9ncern f9r the feelings of y9ur fell9w students and staff. It pains me t9 see infighting and disc9rd t9 this degree. Theref9re I w9uld like t9 9ffer my inexhausti6le skill as a mediat9r, alth9ugh I am n9 l9nger technically 9ne 9f y9ur peers. If y9u have any c9ncerns, feel free to appr9ach me at any time. I will d9 my 6est to pr9vide a n9njudgmental envir9nment t9 f9ster g99dwill and free and in9ffensive discussion 6etween all parties inv9lved.

Enj9y the new year, every9ne, and warmest welc9me back t9 H9gwarts!

Hello, students of Hogwarts and students at heart. Beginning this most auspicious year at our prestigious academy, there are nonetheless some predictable concerns to be raised in any such diverse group of individuals. I shall attempt to be brief.

Over time I have noticed a startling lack of concern for the feelings of your fellow students and staff. It pains me to see infighting and discord to this degree. Therefore I would like to offer my inexhaustible skill as a mediator, although I am no longer technically one of your peers. If you have any concerns, feel free to approach me at any time. I will do my best to provide a nonjudgmental environment to foster goodwill and free and inoffensive discussion between all parties involved.

Enjoy the new year, everyone, and warmest welcome back to Hogwarts!

I DIDN'T EXPECT
HOW DID Y
I AM SURPRISED TO HEAR FROM YOU.

_{[WELL THAT WAS AWKWARD. he's at a loss of what to say and what is even tactful articulation?]}

[c9rp9realn9rmative]

I w9uld say the same, 6ut I have 6een here this wh9le time.
H9w are y9u, The9d9re? 9h, pard9n my presumpti9n, y9u d9 still g9 by The9dore, d9 y9u n9t? If n9t, then I w9uld 6e m9re than happy t9 learn y9ur preferred identifiers. I will strive t9 c9rrect my egregi9us mistake and av9id such 9versights in the future.

[mightyandtall]

TO BE HONEST I DIDN'T KNOW THIS. HENCE MY COMPLETE AND UTTER SURPRISE RIGHT NOW.
EXCEPT THAT'S NOT EXACTLY THE WORD I'M LOOKING FOR.
BUT YES, I STILL GO BY THAT. ALSO PROFESSOR PURPLE. I HAVE GONE BY THAT FOR A COUPLE YEARS NOW.
BUT MAYBE YOU KNOW THAT SINCE YOU'VE BEEN HERE AND I'VE JUST NOT KNOWN.
I DON'T EXPECT YOU TO CALL ME THAT THOUGH.
THAT'D BE AWKWARD.
THEODORE WOULD DEFINITELY BE PREFERABLE.

[c9rp9realn9rmative]

I d9n't expect y9u t9 have kn9wn. As a matter 9f fact, I have 6een making a c9ncentrated eff9rt t9 av9id c9ntact with th9se wh9 w9uld recognize me, due t9 my unf9rtunate change in c9rp9real status. 6eing living-impaired is n9t as exciting as 9ne might think.

Yes, I am aware 9f y9ur teaching app9intment. Pr9fess9r Purple has a rather nice ring t9 it - it s9unds remarka6ly like a character in a children's 69ard game. C9ngratulati9ns, The9d9re, it is an admira6le achievement.

_{[He's not sure how to feel about this. Should this make him feel better? Because if it's supposed to, it's definitely not. It makes him feel guiltier than ever.]}

I DON'T IMAGINE IT WOULD BE. BUT. UH. YOU CAN TRY TO MAKE THE BEST OF IT I GUESS????


I'M SORRY.

[c9rp9realn9rmative]

I have plenty 9f time t9 devel9p new arguments and w9rk 9n my essays. It has given me n9 end 9f time t9 think.

What f9r?

[mightyandtall]

THAT'S PRETTY NICE, TOO, I GUESS. I'VE DONE SOME WRITING OF MY OWN BUT IT'S NOTHING COMPARABLE TO THE THINGS YOU'VE WRITTEN. THAT I'VE READ, I MEAN.

YOU KNOW.
AND I REALLY MEAN IT DFJKSHSG

[c9rp9realn9rmative]

D9n't flatter me and think that the years have dulled my mem9ry 9f the things y9u used to say a69ut my pers9nal diatri6e. 9r perhaps it's y9ur mem9ry which has faded. Sh9uld I c9py s9me 9f my arguments d9wn again, f9r 9ld time's sake?

Yes, I supp9se I d9.

It was an accident. I kn9w y9u didn't mean t9.

[mightyandtall]

I SUPPOSE MY MEMORY HAS FADED. OR MAYBE MY OPINION HAS CHANGED SLIGHTLY. ALTHOUGH BEFORE YOU SAY ANYTHING I KNOW I'LL NEVER TRULY UNDERSTAND BLAHBLAH ENTITLED. BUT YES. FOR THE SAKE OF NOSTALGIA GO RIGHT AHEAD.



THAT DOESN'T MAKE IT OKAY.

[c9rp9realn9rmative]

Y9u had a year m9re experience than I did. I let my pride 6lind me t9 my true chances 9f vict9ry.

If even I didn't see it c9ming, h9w c9uld y9u?

[mightyandtall]

AN ACCIDENT IS A SCRAPED KNEE OR A BROKEN ARM.
THIS TRANSCENDED THAT.
LACK OF FORESIGHT DOESN'T MAKE IT REDEEMABLE.

[c9rp9realn9rmative]

I f9rgive y9u. I d9n't 6lame y9u f9r what happened.
Is that what y9u need t9 hear, The9d9re?

[mightyandtall]

I DON
IT'S NOT EVEN NECESSARY FOR YO
IT DOESN'T CHA


MAYBE.

[c9rp9realn9rmative]

I w9uld appreciate it if y9u didn't g9 9ut 9f y9ur way t9 avoid me
Perhaps we can put 9ur shared hist9ry 6ehind us and m9ve 9n.

I have missed 9ur spirited de6ates.

[mightyandtall]

YOU'RE ASKING FOR A LOT. LIKE REALLY, THAT'S A LOT YOU'RE ASKING FOR.
I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S POSSIBLE. THAT SOUNDS VERY IDEALISTIC.

[c9rp9realn9rmative]

I d9n't think s9.

6ut if that's what y9u w9uld prefer, I will keep my distance. After all, it was n9t my g9al t9 make y9u unc9mf9rta6le with my reappearance.

I'm s9rry that it was y9u, The9d9re. There are s9me things that n9 am9unt 9f f9resight can save us fr9m.

[mightyandtall]

I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M SUPPOSED TO BE SAYING HERE. MAYBE IT IS BEST TO SEE HOW THINGS TRANSPIRE IN THE FUTURE. THAT IS THE ONLY THING I CAN SAY.
BECAUSE ANYTHING ELSE WOULD BE A POTENTIAL LIE AND I DON'T WANT TO SPEAK HALF-TRUTHS WITH YOU.
