Very official announcement

[alt_rabastan]

Hallo, hallo boys and girls. And by boys and girls I mean of course the young men and women who will be attending Hogwarts this autumn.

Of late you may have caught a rumour on the wind and I'm here to tell you that it is absolutely true: I'm to be your new Professor of Defence for the coming school year, replacing the tragically absent-minded Mr Gilderoy Lockheart.

I hope no one expects me to regale them with stories of how I tracked down a vicious clan of Gipsy Vampires into deepest Romania and transfigured their eye-teeth into buttons for a waistcoat, because I really don't have those sort of fairy tales to share. I have, however, been Harry Marvolo's private defence instructor for these past few summer months, as well as having other experiences that I believe will make me reasonably suited to the task. So whatever you may have heard about the Razzer, I'm Professor Lestrange to you now, and I look forward to teaching you a thing or three. Hopefully even more than that.

Oh, I'm sure he's quite pleasant. And that's almost more dangerous. At least with someone like Carrow, you always know to be on your guard.

And you'd better make sure my man comes back in one piece with his dignity intact, love.

Dignity, check. How about his virtue?

But no, everything's fine, Allie. He and Kingsley didn't quite know what to do this morning when I'd had the last watch of the night, and come dawn the tea was brewed, the brekky in the frying pan and all as nice as you please.

They keep waiting for the other Quaffle to fall. It's brilliant.

I think we'll make it up to Davidson's camp by nightfall, though, so that'll be the end of it for the time being.

I still say you smuggled a house elf into the camp somehow.
