Dark Arts Textbooks

[alt_antonin]

It has been brought to my attention there is some potential for confusion with the fourth through seventh year booklists. The text I have assigned is Marcus Julius Calidus's Intra Profundis, a seminal definitive primary text on the Arts, not any more recently-published work of similar name.

I deeply regret and apologise profusely for the confusion. If you have mistakenly acquired the wrong text, please arrange to replace it with a copy of the correct work as quickly as possible. I will return the essays of anyone who has been victim of this extremely embarrassing mix-up and allow you to make up the work without penalty at your convenience.

I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good

[alt_pansy]

Well, that explains it.

Lunes, are you planning on returning that book right away? Because I've got to admit I'm a bit curious to see what the fuss is about.

Re: I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good

[alt_sally_anne]

Yeah.

ME TOO.

I'll give it to you at breakfast.

Just don't read it at the table. You might miss your mouth and spill pumpkin juice all down your robes.

Padma Patil told me to send it right back to Mrs Brown, but it's quite a fast read, really.

Just do me a favour.

Don't let Evelyn see it. All right?

Re: I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good

[alt_sally_anne]

Is it really about sex?

'Intra Profundis' means 'Within the Depths' -- which actually DOES sound a bit, um, suggestive.

Re: I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good

[alt_ron]

Heh.

Re: I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good

[alt_ron]

Has it got pictures? I mean, like diagrams and all?

[alt_umbridge]

Just a teensy question, if I might.

It does seem so very possible for there to be confusion, especially with such a last minute change to the curriculum. And I do hope that the dear students who might be confused will bring the matter to the appropriate people. (Minerva, I do assume that's not changed under your leadership, and that it's still the heads of house or the eldest prefects.)

But - having heard just a smidge about the most recent title from acquaintances, I might add that if any students are concerned about their reading, I know that Madam Pomfrey is ready to assist with explanations. Well, as are all the staff, I suppose, in their areas of interest.

We are, of course, here to serve.

Thank you for your assistance, of course, Dolores. I'm certain the confusion will be cleared up quickly.

Over your head yet?

Shall I defuse Dolores for you? Or would you rather do it yourself?

Re: Private Message to Antonin Nikolaevich

[alt_antonin]

Not one word out of you, Lyoushka. NOT ONE MORE WORD. Your timing is, as always, impeccable.

I'm so glad I could provide an evening's amusement. I've no idea how I will possibly stand on my dignity tomorrow.

T-

Well, that's it. You're truly one of us now. I'll bring something special with me tonight to celebrate.

Excellent! You can help me think of something properly evil and plausibly-deniable for revenge on Narcissa.

Waiting to see if any of the little darlings have the nerve to snicker in my classes this afternoon,
