OK. I will leave this space open and update for all the times our dear Backy is absent having a real life. Different from me.
Right now the Hogwarts Express has arrived its destination without a problem (other than the usual misbehaving students), the feast is over and classes have started

Have fun!
Addition to Lee's update - Current Hogwarts Staff: Ancient Runes Professor (*MoM) : Rierdan (Fona) Arithmancy Professor (*MoM) : Kali_O'Hara Astronomy Professor: Dainsie Care of Magical Cretures (CoMC *MoM) : Dubhghall Riddoc Charms Professor (& Groundskeeper): Zoa (buckeye_forever) DADA Professor (*MoM) : Josef_Perry Divination Professor (*MoM):Grace McHiddon (carebear) Herbology Professor (*MoM) :Cleo Virohsa (fr2nc1z) History of Magic (HoM - *MoM) : Berty Borr Muggle Studies Professor (*MoM) : Rhiane_Shwmae Potions Professor (*MoM) : Sophie_Melita Transfiguration Professor: McAiken (AnimagusSnuffles) Flying Lesson Professor: Gideon Prewett III Librarian: MadameRowena Nurse: Healer Curatio & Medi-wizard, ex-professor Evans (Gill_boo) Others= Kris Airlia, Marcella Riddle, Cassandra Rae, (...help?@_@) Bree, Anjelica Lainey, Phoebe Phoenix and former Headmaster Kobus Hendrik, disposed of as staff. Other character in Hogwarts, A History, mostly dead. (All the ones with the *MoM means "Appointed AFTER the Ministry of Magic took over".) - "Welcoming" Feast: Students didn't receive the new Headmistress' new rules too happily or healthily. Other than body-language, whispered complains and other such quite innofensive reactions, the ever-so-hyperactive Hufflepuff Lee

and his two friends Alex, from the Slytherin house, and Kass, from Ravenclaw, visited the Staff Table. In one swift succession of actions, and a lil bit of waving of wands, Borr ended with an engorged head and foot, courtesy of our friends Lee and Kass. Prefects Jaren of Slytherin and Terry of Hufflepuff intervened taking the group out. Alex and Lee are now disarmed.

NEWSFLASH: Former Professor Lainey has entered Hogwarts, though the dungeons, into the hallways, irrupted into DADA class, back to Hallways and heading to the Staff Table. She was looking terribly beaten up and, needless to say, in need of a doctor. After calling for Rae and Hendrik as if convinced they were there, giving a rather cryptic message, she was finally caught by the Minitry officials and "said-to-be" taken to the Hospital Wing though a not-so-secret-now passageway. Never arrived.
THE NOTES: Found over the place and picked up by Professor Shwmae and Prefect Jaren. Content of the note unknown but from some very few, selected, lucky(?!) people. Scapegoats are Prefect Terry and Lee from Hufflepuff and Nadia from Slytherin. [You can find an "Appeal from the MoM" in your Common Rooms regarding this issue.]
HOGSMEADE: Leiden is no longer giving permissions to it. We are possibly at risk of loosing this faculty facility. Oh and if you were wondering, the cryptic message from Professor Lainey has been delivered by Hufflepuff Prefect Terry... didn't arise much of a reaction to tell you the truth. UPDATE: Double-delivery. Now from Professor Zoa who, next to Virohsa and Rierdan, started their own invvestigation of sorts.
Professor Rierdan is visiting Cassandra Rae at Hogsmeade for answers.
Virohsa vs Shwmae: To decide the fate of Dru of Slytherin, accussed to be the author of the infamous notes. Also both professors have more in common than you think, being the two ones to threaten two students to send them to prison for their nosey actions <IMG class=inlineimg title=">_
Meanwhile Amaris Chaos (Gryffindor) and Dru (Slytherin) doing their own investigation have found an article about our Herbology Professor Virohsa. (Authenticity of the article to be confirmed.)
Students Organizations: SAMMO first (& second?) meeting over. Ashlie has made ties with professor Virohsa while Rierdan seem to get along with Terry. CoA (Conspirators in Action) have finally stopped trying to drop notes. Mithos, alone or not we don't know, has started his own note dropping of a publication of his (sentence *cough* to be given in Perry's office)
Update: To make a long story short, in the space of RP hours Melita dragged Leiden to the dungeons, who later dragged Transfiguration Professor McAiken, who was forced by the second to do something, and later Leiden came out holding a black box. The scroll contained in said box was burnt in the headmistress office minutes later --> ATTENTION: Only OOC information.
DADA, Veritaserum & Memory Charms: As above says, some students got poisoned with Veritaserum - Martha, Kristie and Terry, the latter being the most questioned. Though there was fighting, action and lack thereof, Anti-Ministry Org SAMMO was discovered and the fates of its members (all but one) has been decided; you can breath, they are not getting expelled. While this happens, however, the members started getting ready for the worse (without need, it seems) alerted from two sourcess
(Nadia's will remain unnamed for the sake of RPing)
Needless to say, after Perry was done with the Veritaserum AND using of the Imperious Curse, she erased all of the students Memories.
And we reach the resolution of the story. The small group of professors got to rescue the two professors, Lainey and Riddle, and even Leiden, blasting and stunning their way to reach them. Airlia, however, died before anything could happen and McAiken transfigured her body in the scroll of parchment Leiden burnt, as we know. Jade was subsuded and dragged to the Great Hall, where she was presented by Rae to the school body along with a brief explanation. Students and others that tried help were stunned or stunned others. But now everybody was summoned to the Great Hall for this explanation, and while we wait for this certain fate of the Headmaster/mistress position. And over the students' frustration, Zekke gave a beautiful, touching speech.
Rae has been made Headmistress of the School to replace Leiden. (Not to Shwmae's amusement.) The explanation given is that the school, as an entity, has choosen her when it let her in to Leiden's Office despite its Ancient Protection. Most and the very majority of the school is taking it as good news (lol).
And we still wonder where all the Ministry Professors are right this moment....
Riddle has left the building, rather quietly.
