It's such a relief to be back at Hogwarts and no longer under the same roof as those people. These last few days of classes have left me in a much better mood than I was in all summer.

I'll admit, it's hard for me to believe this is my final year here. Hopefully things won't be quite as crazy as in the past, though I highly doubt it. I suppose I should take advantage of the library while I still can. I suspect I'll end up far away from this place, after all.

If anyone needs me, I'll be studying in my usual spot.


[Filtered to Seimei // Unhackable to anyone else]

I finally completed that binder you gave me this summer. I'm afraid I have yet to make any connections, though I will continue to work on it.

[/Filter]

I had always assumed the usual nonsense of the castle didn't affect us when we aren't there. Honestly, I almost think all of this has been to connected to my getting one of these journals...

The other day I suddenly found myself in Soubi's bathroom. It was a surprise, to say the least. I obviously didn't apparate there, so I still wonder how it happened. The next day I was just back at my home as though nothing had happened. I guess I shouldn't complain too much. Getting out of here is always a positive thing.

Then yesterday there was an odd rain of confetti in my home. My mother refused to admit she had messed up some kind of spell she must have tried. My father was being useless as always in attempting to clean it. It's pathetic, really...


At least today we're heading to London for my Apparition test. As long as I don't splinch myself, I should be just fine.


[ooc: Backdate the post to yesterday cause mun is failing at RPing right now. If anyone's wondering how Autor did on the test...

He turned around and nothing happened. And he turned again and nothing happened. Then he spun in a few circles to try to get it to go and nothing happened. Fun fact: he prefers this to succeeding but leaving behind some or all of his limbs like he thought he was going to.

Feel free to be commenting today if you'd like XD]

All of the ridiculousness this week almost made me want to go home. I still don't see why I have to go back there. I'm of age! I suppose I have no where else to stay at the moment, though.

Still, this time is always a good for getting additional reading out of the way. The selection of books elsewhere is so scanty. And of course grades are coming back. I'm sure I did quite well on my written exams.

I only have a few days left to use the library before I'm forceably torn from it, however. I should take advantage of the time.


[Private // Unhackable]

The train is leaving on Wednesday. I wonder if I'll ever see her again...

[/Private]


[ooc: So, your characters might have noticed Autor spent the whole week in his school uniform because the concept of Spirit Week is absurb to him. Mostly reading in the library, of course.

While the last part is unhackable, his mood is hackable if you try. Otherwise it reads as "Annoyed".]

I have to admit, this time in the term is always refreshing in my opinion. There's so much the students that have put off their studies have to do that things remain relatively quiet. The library may be crowded, but at least it's generally peaceful. Ah, exams are such a wonderful time! Except for the practicals.

Still, Hogwarts seems to think that inflicting us with its usual nonsense is a good idea. Whoever started that ridiculous water fight owes me a roll of parchment. Now people are acting strangely, but I suppose that's nothing new.


[ooc: Unaffected for once because Autor's really never had anything that major happen in his life XD And strike is not there.]

[Accidental Voice Post]

[Autor is, not surprisingly, sitting in the library reading. However, with the recent dragon attack and the aftermath and the fact that people around him are randomly breaking into song he can't help but notice that things have been... noisy lately.

Finally he can take it no more. He slams down his book, stands and pushes up his glasses, and shouts:]

QUIET!!
( No reason to deny it )

...Oh great.

[/Voice Post]

[ooc: Original song here, I left off the last verse for obvious reasons XD.]

Oww... My head is killing me! Damn dragons tearing up the tower...

The dungeons should be relatively safe, at least. Hopefully no one's been seriously harmed.

...I hope nothing's happened to the library.

[Autor has come upon a realization: obviously his newfound magical skills are the result of the castle. He also remembers that things like this are not permanent, and in fact is expecting it to go away at any second.

Because he really does not want this to happen, he is now determined to find a spell or potion that will allow him to retain his magic once the castle has finished with its mischief.]


[Now he can be found sitting at a table near several of the bookshelves in the library, a fairly large stack of books already surrounding him. He flips through the one open in front of him and slams it shut in annoyance.]

[He points his wand at one of the shelves.] Accio Fantastick Spells volume 27!

[The book flies into his hand, and he quickly begins to skim it, desperately looking for an appropriate spell.]


[ooc: He's not going to succeed, of course, but he's still going to try. Feel free to bug him, though he probably won't admit what he's doing unless you know he's usually bad at magic.]

This...

This is completely marvelous!!

I knew that one day my true talents would finally shine through! Think of all the fantastic things I'll be able to do now!

I might even be able to fight off that odd monster outside if the need arises!


[ooc: So, Autor made the same unconcious wish he makes every day: that he's good at magic. He tested it out on the ink in his journal. You'll probably see him running around the castle with his wand out, casting various spells at random. And he'll probably be too excited for the next three days to even think about wishing anything else =/]

........

What the hell was I thinking?!

Why on earth was I so obsessed with Fakir and stories?! I don't know who that old man with the swirling eyes was. I can't even understand the entry I made yesterday... Why was it that those three were the only people I recognized?

[Filtered from Ahiru]
Why did I have to attempt that in front of that girl? I doubt she put everything together, but... We aren't in class together that often so it's not something she needs to know.
[/Filter]

[Filtered from Rue]
And why did I have to tell her that?! I... I have no idea what's she's going to think of me now! This is terrible!

Argh, why was I so completely foolish?!!!
[/Filter]

[ooc: If you're in the Sixth Year Ravenclaw boys dorm, you might have been woken up by Autor shouting this morning as he remembered what happened.

Yeah, with his constantly blaming Fakir, his giving Ahiru a demonstration that magic doesn't like to work for him, and confessing his love to Rue, Autor had a really bad Canon Days.

This means you should bother him.]

[Private // Semi-hackable**]

It seems my hunch was correct and I've completely uncovered the mystery behind our sudden appearance in this castle. There's no way Drosslemeyer would use his talents on something on something this ridiculous. Fakir is (unfortunately) the only other person with enough of his power to do something like this.

( Cut for his wordy flawless logic that just happens to be wrong )

Because he could not control it in this state, the town was restored to its former self. His lesson now learned, he stepped back so this new author could fully realize his own talents.

...Hmph, I suppose I'll have to keep trying...

[/Private]


[ooc: Canon!Autor muse does not want to rest XD

**= If you know Autor, whether or not you remember knowing him, you can hack most of this. The exceptions include any references to Drosslemeyer, writing, stories, and his direct blame of Fakir (so no one tries to attack him or anything o.o;). Knowing Autor at this point pretty much means you've talked to him before. If you don't know him or are Fakir, it's much harder to hack, but you can gain a basic gist.

ALSO, tomorrow is becomes Public. So, while in the comments to this entry you won't know the whole thing, once everyone is back to normal you'll be able to read all of it and wonder what the HFIL he was talking about. Because yes, I am that mean to him :D

I just thought his logic behind what happened should be shared for the lulz XD Feel free to hack what you can.]

Fakir.

I'm sure you can see what I'm writing here. Tell me what you did now and why I was sent here.

...Do any of these other people know anything about Fakir? I wonder if this place has a library?


[ooc: Haitus? What's that? ...Yeah XD. Have a, well, I guess technically an Autor from just at the end of the series. We will ignore my post-series head!canon. He thinks Fakir wrote him here, but to keep from confusing people I'm not going to have him openly state that :3]

Will someone please get these pixies out of the library?! I can barely concentrate, and the fact that they keep taking my books isn't making matters any better.

At the very least, cast a silencing charm!

I had finally caught up on all of my studies, too...

The castle's been... quiet lately.

I'm considering going to Hogsmeade if only to check the bookstore. I haven't been there since December, at least. However, I doubt they'll have anything I'm looking for once again.


[ooc: So, Autor misses seeing Rue all the time the baby, but he's not going to admit that. And he hasn't realized all of these unfamiliar people are running around yet. Bugging him = very yes.]

[Accidental Voice Post]
*the sound of a baby crying is heard*

Put down my journal, Saiya! It is not a toy either! What... What are you crying about?! I'm positive I checked everything. Why are you so upset?!

*the crying continues*

WOULD YOU PLEASE BE QUIET?!

*the wailing gets louder*

...Why was I given this assignment? I haven't read anything about children. I never saw any need to! And Rue...I don't want to know what she'll think if I mess this up... Wait.

*the crying subsides a bit, until finally...*

Burp.

This is completely ridiculous.

Hmm? What on earth is this thing do-
[/Voice Post]

[ooc: So, Autor is practically panicking over this assignment. It's a combination of the stress from attempting to take care of a baby and his nerves from being paired with Rue. He's been cramming in reading up on babies whenever he has a moment of peace, but that hasn't been often yet and books only tell you so much.]

Erk. Please disregard anything I said yesterday. I obviously was not myself.


I knew I would have one box of chocholate this morning though how he got it in there is still a mystery to me, but I was not expecting the other two. I've... never gotten Valentines before. ...Thank you.


[Private / unhackable]

She sent me something? I'm sure she's the sort to send them to her friends, but that still means... Maybe I shouldn't have...no, no, that was for the best.

I'd better keep my eyes open today. From the way he acts I know he's up to something. I haven't seen him yet, though...

[/Private]


[ooc: So, Seimei left him a box of chocolate of his own accord. First strike is very very hard to hack, the second one is almost embarrassingly hackable.

ALSO, if anyone happens to see him walking around today, he's going to be looking like he's expecting someone to attack him, because he basically is XD. And by the end of the day he's going to be completely paranoid if anyone that tends to see him wants to take note. Just saying cause I doubt I'll have him post again in the near future ^^;]

I'm feeling a bit... odd this morning. I really hope I'm not getting sick. With all of the work I have, an illness would set me back quite a ways.

I don't want to complain, but did anyone else find the tea at dinner last night to be too sweet? I could barely get through half my cup before I had to settle for one of the other beverages. It was very disappointing.


[Private / unhackable]
I'm rather nervous about tomorrow for several reasons... I'm going to have to keep on my guard, for one. I have a feeling he's going to try something.

Somehow I've been feeling more worried about the whole thing since I woke up today.

[/Private]


[ooc: So, Autor is in love with everyone, but since he didn't drink much he's mostly going to be blushing and feeling awkward around people. More like a middle school-type crush than anything.]

Hmm, I waited a bit to make sure it was true, but it seems the journals are no longer spewing out that ridiculous poetry.

...I believe I owe several apologies to people after that, actually. Rest assured I had little control over what I was saying, and much of it could easily have been taken the wrong way.


St. Valentine's Day is coming up. I've never cared much for it, honestly. It seems like a huge fuss over nothing, really. In the meantime, I will focus on my schoolwork.

My struggles, the immense toil of the burdens I must bear...

Page upon page upon page has HINDERED MY VERY PRESENCE,
such a light has been torn from these feeble journals!
Forgive me! Forgive me for my sin!

And yet, I must work, and continue to reap the wonderful rewards and admiration garnered from such a task~

For, although I have been kept from you, the fruits of my labors have been great!
Success, triumph, and victory!
Such a glorious wonder is myself!
A reward even, a mere token for my achievement in the glorious art of spellcasting~~

...Fie! This nonsense, what could it be?!



((ooc: So, Autor was writing a post about himself and how school was going...

( Translation )

Although, unless your character is really smart or good at things like this, they probably have no idea what he's talking about. Like with Femio.))

I don't recall this happening to me before. Classes are finally in their usual stride, but I am finding I have less and less time for independant reading and studying. Not that I haven't been studying extra materials, but I suppose it can't be helped.


Oh, right. Anise, was it? I believe I found some documents you might be interested in. I will be in the library, as usual.



[ooc: First of all, strike is no longer there.

Secondly, I think things have mostly calmed down, so I'm no longer on hiatus. Not saying I'll always be around, of course, and with two characters now that's another distraction, but he's still back XD;]
