Current mood:annoyed

I have returned.
It took the better part of last night and this morning, but I have finally succeeded in getting this literally accursed machine up and running again. You will no doubt be shocked, yes, shocked and appalled to learn that it was Black who cursed it in the first place. At first I was incensed. Then I realised that Black's little prank would relieve me from updating this ridiculous journal for the foreseeable future and decided that discretion was the better part of valour. They say every cloud has a silver lining, but frankly, this is the first time I've noticed any such phenomenon.

Needless to say, the headmaster eventually noticed, and so my holiday from technology has come to an end. I have less than no interest in reading the backlogs of the so-called "friends" page to see what sorts of boring exploits you have all been up to -- don't we get enough of that anyway? Really now -- but I will freely admit that the sight of many of you running around like headless chickens preparing for your inevitable doom come N.E.W.Ts-time is quite refreshing. Fear is indeed a wonderful whetsone for the mind; a concept I have always known, and naturally have employed it in my pedagogical philosophies.

At any rate, I am back. And I am watching you, as always. Unless, of course, you are insipid or dull, in which case I shall continue to ignore you.

In that case, you can feel free to ignore everything that any of the Malfoys have said. They are deep, yes, and they are evil. Also wealthy. That's about all they've said for months now.

I am deeply envious of your avoidance tactics, you know. If I didn't know Black quite as well as I do, I'd suspect you cursed your own computer.

I would have told you my strategy, but I suspected it would only cause Dumbledore to notice earlier if all of us stopped posting.

Oh thank heavens.

I was so worried.
