Headmaster Dumbledore

( Private Entry )

( Letter to Hestia Jones )

Recently I have discovered a delightful publication, a certain Modern Sassy Witch Stitch n' Bitch Magazine. I was visiting my healer for a regular appointment and happened to pick up a copy in the waiting room. While crocheting a bustier to heighten my bust line doesn't exactly appeal to my particular sense of fashion, I've found that their hat patterns are quite novel and clever. Would anyone fancy a knitted hat?

Is everyone ready for their N.E.W.T.s and O.W.L.s? I should hope so, because they begin next week. Your schedules will be posted in your respective common rooms, please take notice and do not be late for your exams.

The last day of class will be June 15th, the end of term feast will take place on the 17th, and the Hogwarts Express leaves for London June 18th at 2 in the afternoon. Please mark these dates and times accordingly.

Teachers, the list of exams and classrooms you will be proctoring in will be available in the lounge by the end of the day.

Magic is wonderful, isn't it?

Now before you ask, let me explain. Those of you who were present in the second floor corridor at the time of the rather large fight the other day will notice that your hands are now a delightful shade of bright pink. Any student who has hands the colour of bubble gum will report to the Great Hall tonight at eight o'clock, where there will be line writing and general "getting to the bottom of this" banter.

The spell is a tricky one to fix, so I encourage each and every one of you who cherishes the normal colouring of their hands to find their way to the Great Hall so that this can be settled. For those of you who skip this massive bonding time...well...I shall know and so shall the rest of the castle.

That is all.

I need any Professor, Prefect, or Head Girl or Head Boy, close to the second floor corridor on the east side to get down there immediately. There is a situation that needs to be quelled.



((This post is going to change as the situation starts to get out of hand. Basically just go nuts for now, then we'll bring in the authority figures.

Have fun, people!))

The lock down is officially over. The next trip to Hogsmeade will be this coming weekend.

Thank you for you patience.


As an aside, Bellatrix Lestrange, please get out of my school or you will be forcibly removed.

((Just think of this message as being posted after your fun, Medra. :D))

This is the long and the short of it.

The long is due to circumstances in the outside world I cannot allow anyone to enter or leave this castle for any reason whatsoever, including Care of Magical Creatures or Herbology classes. If a student needs to leave they need to seek permission with their Head of House and then myself, as well as have their parent/guardian come to Hogwarts to pick them up personally.

The short of it is we're all under lock down.

Needless to say this weekend's trip to Hogsmeade, as well as all other further trips, are canceled.

Any student caught on the grounds or in Hogsmeade will be severely punished, and I mean this. There will be no leniency, we cannot afford to gamble your safety.

Curfew will begin immediately after dinner. All those caught out of their respective common areas after curfew will be given a series of detention.


Defensive charms will be taught immediately in Defense Against the Dark Arts and Charms. There will be a letter sent home to all those with wizarding parents, alerting them to the lock down and telling them how to properly protect their home. All Muggleborn students will have members of this staff come to their homes to do the charms for them.

That is all.

Happy Halloween everyone!


( A note to Ms. Jones )

This year our Halloween celebration will be held in the Great Hall, in the form of a school-wide costume extravaganza. It shall begin at seven in the evening of the 31st. There is no theme, just try not to be vile or inappropriate. Professors and the Head Boy and Girl can and will hand out detentions if need be.

Should prove to be interesting, I hope everyone attends. Professors McGongall and Slughorn are currently trying to find a band to play the event. I expect you all to at least show up so that their efforts are not in vain.

Welcome, welcome students. As expected some major rules have already been broken. Those who are guilty know who they are and I hope they feel the sting of my disapproval and the paranoia that comes from knowing that they are watched very closely.

In other news, under Ministry Instruction, Hogwarts School for Witchcraft and Wizardry will be offering a sexual education class. Professors Colbear and Stewart have already volunteered, isn't that correct gentlemen? Should our resident healers want to step in they are more than welcome, as well as any other Professor feeling 'up to the job'.

Professor Slughorn has graciously supplied his potions classroom to play host to this class. All third through seventh years wishing to attend the course may sign up outside his classroom. It will be held next Friday afternoon, three pm sharp. Should demand outstrip the resources of a single class, there shall be repeat the following Friday.

That is all.

A loud and happy welcome to all our new students, and a cheer to all our older and wiser students returning to the castle!

As most of you may have known our Head Boy for the year shall be James Potter, while our Head Girl shall be Lily Evans, both of Gryffindor House. A congratulations is in order for the two.

I expect all of you to be on your best behavior at the welcoming feast tomorrow, which begins eight o'clock sharp (right after the sorting). Your schedules for the semester should have already been owled to you, but should your owl have not arrived which does tend to happen when you trust your post to live animals, you can pick up a copy with your head of house.

As always, any student caught out of bed after curfew shall be given a detention, and the Dark Forest is strictly forbidden. Though I'm sure you all knew that after being reminded so many times.

We have a lot of new faces in the castle this year. Most of our staff is fresh-faced and cheery-eyed, I expect everyone to make a good impression when they meet them tonight. This means of course our dear caretaker, Argus Filch, will be on the lookout for dungbombs and other sorts of illegal apparel when you arrive.

Good luck Fifth and Seventh years! I have no doubt you'll all do well. In case anyone is confused on where they're supposed to be for their O.W.L.s or N.E.W.T.s, see your Head of House.
