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.

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.

[It takes at least a full minute for Bro to realize just why this looks familiar. Why it feels wrong. When he does, he nearly knocks over his inkwell.]

No fucking way. You died.

[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.

[c9rp9realn9rmative]

Indeed I did, Strider.

And h9w have y9u 6een?

[mightyandtall]

_{[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.

[plushaeusrumpified]

You.

Died.

[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?

[c9rp9realn9rmative]

And n9w I am a gh9st.

99h. Sp99ky.

[Voice]

[just1c3w1tch]

Haha, Mum is having the hardest time reading your handwriting, whoever this is. Haven't run into that before. You a firstie?

[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]

A ghost, actually. I'm Kankri Vantas. It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance. And that of your mother, I'm sure she is a fine lady. Unless she would prefer not to be addressed as such, in which case I humbly apologize and beg her sincerest pardon.

[plushaeusrumpified]

But how? I don't understand

if you could

then why didn't he

Yeah. Real fucking spooky.

[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.

[c9rp9realn9rmative]

Are y9u alright, Strider? Pard9n my presumptu9us remark, 6ut y9u seem t9 6e upset. D9es my existence bemuse y9u s9?

[Voice]

[just1c3w1tch]

Really! Don't think I've meet any of you over the journals before. Nice to meet you--wait, Vantas? You any relation to the History of Magic teacher?

Haha, don't worry about my mum, she's busy freaking out over the ghost thing--Don't give me that look. [Murmur murmur.] Yeah I can. Pyralsprite's doing that shifting thing he only does when he's glaring back at you. [Murmur murmur! Terezi sighs.]

Sorry about that, Kankri. I'm Terezi Pyrope, Slytherin going into fourth year.

[plushaeusrumpified]

Real fucking presumptuous indeed. Slap a trigger warning on that. #Prying Asshole. Seriously you're prying hard enough to stretch this shit further than goatse.

I'm fucking fine.

[Voice]

[c9rp9realn9rmative]

Most of the other ghosts don't have journals. Either their journals have simply disintegrated or been lost over the centuries, or they never had one to begin with. My 18 years are a drop in the bucket in comparison.

He is my twin brother. Are you one of his students? He is an excellent professor, in my opinion. I have sat in on his classes before, without letting him see me.

A pleasure to meet you, Miss Pyrope. -- I assume it is Miss? Not that I am trying to erase any identity that you might carry. I assure you, I am completely blind to differences in identity, and I will do my best to respect whatever it is that you wish to be called.

[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]

I'm n9t g9ing t9 pretend I underst99d that reference, 6ecause y9u will pr96ably explain it and then I will 6e m9rally 96ligated t9 6e 9ffended.

Y9u haven't changed a 6it, have y9u Strider? 9ther than in height, that is.

[plushaeusrumpified]

Yeah I will explain it. Basically you take a guy's asshole. Then you stretch it to the point even a horsecock would have room enough to move around and get comfortable. There's goatse.




I don't have a brother anymore.

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?
