*at the sparsely seated staff table in the Great Hall, writing a journal entry before his evening patrol of the castle*


HAH, my memory is coming back!! Good grief, I even remember those thestrels that interrupted my last duel with... with.... ANYWAY -- Hufflepuff won -- or was it Ravenclaw? And I was -- WELL DONE, HUFFLEPUFF, ALL THAT HARD WORK PAID OFF -- I was running toward the--

*briefly interrupted by the mediwitch*

..Yes. Loss of memory is a common side-effect of concussion; they said that in the first-responder course. How ironic that with all I have been through in life, I receive such an injury on a day when everyone is having fun!

And I can't remember how it ended.....

..gaah. If I can't have those memories back, I will just have to make new ones. Tomorrow's London exam comes first, but after that, if I fail to make a series of splendid new memories by the weekend, I shall scale every tower of the London Bridge without magic!!


..They tell me Uchiha graduated early. *snort* But where did he go? What is he doing? Does anybody know!? Not likely. It must be some nefarious--


*gasp*

That's what happened. Slime, why did it have to be slime!!!


[[Strikes illegible. Mwahahaha. For those who don't know yet, Gai patrols Hogwarts for three random nights a week as a public service requirement for his Auror course, so if your character is out after curfew, feel free to encounter (or avoid) him!]]

Whatever this curse is, it's been interesting -- I never knew Hogwarts was full of such sheer talent!! Hahahaha, Hirako, that monkey worked as well as you said it did! XD Misa... that song was so nice! MUGEN, I WANT THE LYRICS!!! And... uhm... Sgt. Johnson... I still have your guitar....?

I wish it hadn't happened... but... that was an AWESOME battle. How are you two feeling?

[[/filtered]]


Shouldn't have left Hinata's present back in London.... Anybody have a razor? The usual spells aren't working and I looked in the mirror this morning and thought I was my own evil double!!!


[[This is why the razor. >D Assuming it didn't last all night, this is Gai's unspecific "and then it was later" post. Anybody who wants to attack him with random unscheduled songs, this is the time! XD Sophie, Hirako, here or in the log community?]]

*pauses during his fifth lap around the lake, pulling out his journal* A Hogsmeade weekend, hmm? >D Good thing I have the next few days off from classes!!

Jaggerjack -- THE TIME OF OUR MEETING DRAWS NEAR!!!!

[[/filtered]]


[[Am stuck home on dial-up until Monday, so won't be on AIM until then. DX Can do a comment log, though.]]

*showing off new knowledge of emoticons* >DDDDD

What a weekend!! It's wonderful to be back in the darkened, echoing halls of Hogwarts, even if it is three in the morning. Gad, who's awake at this time of night!? Auror training is... but NO, it's a NOBLE ENDEAVOR and I must MASTER MY WEARINESS and STRUGGLE ON!!!!


[[Private, 50% hackable to associates]]

But no food all day does not a virile warrior make!!! An Auror must get the right amount of nutrition to keep up his strength. Food, sleep, and an EARLY START TO BUILD CHARACTER -- and if I don't get up at five to catch up on what's been going on around the castle, I shall run around the lake twice before breakfast!!

( AAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUGGGHHHH!!!!!! )

SAKURAAAAAAA! Thanks again for that Arithmancy book -- IT'S ALL MAKING SENSE NOW!!!!

Nothing like a busy day to work up a healthy, hearty appreciation for the wonder that is DINNERTIME. Mmmm, the potatoes are excellent this evening. And was that Jaggerjack I saw over at the Slytherin table....

..sparkling??

*not laughing, no really*


( Private, unhackable... right? )


Ow, that candle dripped wax on -- *flapping his hand to cool it, suddenly bolts upright* YIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!! *dancing about and shaking his arm wildly*

Aaaaah! What with Kimi's potion being so complicated, I completely forgot that this CRAB was still here!!! GET IT OFF ME Do you have time to take a look at it?

[[/filtered]]


[[Yes, that crab of Professor Dalma's is still in Gai's sleeve. Speaking of which, feel free to notice that Gai's latest SECRET PROJECT is leaving dirt on his robes and worn patches at his knees. Itachi, WHAR IZ U????]]

THERE'S AN ALIEN IN THIS SCHOOL WHO WANTS TO EAT OUR BRAINS!!!!!!

Whew... she's stuck to the... big rolling whatever-it-is. That should put paid to her VILE SCHEME!!!!!


[[Private]]

HAH, I have finally succeeded in properly filtering this journal!!

We're getting used to this strange world. When Sir Integra finds out where this castle is, we'll be able to send for help (but I still think we should get messages out right away, now that we've found the owls). Thanks to the spell-books in the Library, we're learning spells like WILDFIRE, but people keep getting lost (even with the new map) or stuck to that giant ball of STUFF that's rolling around. It's even caught that blue-haired villain who threatened Himawari. *growls* Why can't it catch all the missing-nin as well??

There are so many people here... from different places and times. I can't figure it out -- Lee-kun, Sakura, and Uchiha Sasuke are all much older than I remember them, and Gaara of the Sand is somehow Kazekage (at his age!!!!), but Naruto is still his old self! And there's no sign of my other two genin....

Or of Kakashi. Sharingan Kakashi, the genius Hatake, my eternal rival, who would move heaven and earth to be here if he knew his students were in danger. I have to wonder, now, whether he still lives.

Our corridor is now warded against menaces! If anyone wants to roam the castle, DON'T DO IT ALONE. Stay together and keep practicing defensive spells, and we'll all come through this trial with FLYING COLORS!!!!!

[[/filtered]]


[[Thanks to a group effort, anyone entering the fourth floor corridor with bad intent will receive an electric shock, have his gravity reversed, and end up stuck to the ceiling under a pile of piping hot croissants. Forgive them; they're just working with what they've got. XD And Gai still hasn't read his whole journal, so there may be more surprises in store for him.]]

*trips over Grimmy-kun*

*stares, points a shaking finger*

..W-w-w... WHUT????


[[Yes, Gai and Lee are back at Hogwarts. Or maybe they're not. But really they might be. Or something. So there. XD]]
