Flying Under the Radar?
As my dear brother has revealed to you all, dear moonchildren, there is much more sinister work afoot at Hogwarts. My dear brother has already shown his light on the predatory nature of three of our beloved Professors, there is another that has gone unnoticed. Another who has tried to escape the pale yet watchful glow of the moon.
I am sure you all remember the events of the opening feast. How Mr. Gevrik sat in a certain Flying Professor’s seat and how a certain Flying professor acted like an immature teenage boy who even suggested that the new Head of Security had crushed his head with a bludger. Yes, dear moonchildren, I am sure that many of you suspected that we would have a wizarding duel on our hands. Yet, the Headmaster stepped in and was able to quell a certain Flying professor’s boiling blood…for the moment.
It is clear that this certain Flying Professor has been on crabbier than a crab all term and wound tighter than a ten day clock. During his first lesson of the term alone he took 5 points from Hufflepuff for “rudely shoving a broom into his hand,” 15 points from Slytherin for “breaking the rule about First Years not being allowed their own brooms, ignoring him, and for rude responses, and ten points from Gryffindor for performing Scourgify during his lesson. However, a Miss Cassandra Prewett was also spotted performing the same spell, yet no points were taken from Slytherin house. Clearly, this shows that this certain Flying Professor has been staring at the moon for so long that he has become moonblinked. Perhaps the Headmaster should be keeping a closer watch on his Deputy Headmaster?
Although, dear moonchildren, you have all been tricked into doing his bidding. Do you not find it odd that for a Flying lesson none of you mounted your brooms? Is it not his job to service ramshackled brooms? Yet, there you all were inside a cramp broom shed performing his chores without a second thought! You are all doing it now in the Herbology greenhouses as well where the man eating plant is probably hiding!
But now, dear moonchildren, we come to the real mystery. Despite all his outburst and seemingly inability to do things himself, he has been given another post. The post of also being the Deputy Herbology Professor. Last time I spoke with you, dear moonchildren, I suggested that perhaps the former Herbology Professor may have been escorted to St. Hungo’s Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries and then eaten by his plant, but seeing the recent developments with Professor Ticking Time Bomb, it has come to this goddess’ attention that the plant and this man were working together. There really is no other explanation.
As my brother has already wisely said, keep your eyes out for the signs, dear moonchildren.
It’s all moonshine,
Artemis
