With a new year ahead I'm glad to say there will be new students to talk about, new romances and of course new professors too.

Can we take another gander at our new Potion Master, Culloden? He's quite the Slytherin if you'd ask me. Yet inspecting the walls in the dungeon is just a bit too OCD don't you all think? The dungeon walls have been that way for a long time, I don't think the students mind it, Cully. Maybe they might have been cleaner in your time, but I wouldn't put it past a house elf to clean them if you asked. Or ask Professor Flamsteed for some of his lint rollers. What is what you were inspecting for? Dirt? Or maybe you were searching for something else. Maybe let's say ghosts perhaps? I'd be careful to provoke the Bloody Baron, if I were you.

But it seems, Cully already knows who to provoke and he's done so by snapping at two new students. Although maybe the new students needed some snapping after all. Cursing in front of a professor is quite a thing, Kevin Hirase, be careful of that, though we must say we do like your attempt at reading Melek's journal. Please do share if you saw something. We'd all love to know. Even if it is just an update on Puffanova.

Also...fire breathing? Seems like instead of doing it himself like Lafay did, this Potions Master is encouraging students to set each other on fire. Letting students do your dirty work, eh?
