[Here's everyone's other favorite no-longer-16-year-old wizard, poking at his comm with a grin. He looks much more relaxed than his last post, clean-shaven and well rested.]

Hello, you lot! If you missed it, I was gone and now I'm back, just, obviously, not sixteen anymore. And being twenty-one, I figure I need a job of some kind. That does not involve teaching, because I'd be a crap teacher unless it was transfiguration or something, and I'd probably still be crap even then. Back home I was an auror -- er, I suppose it's a bit like a wizard cop? We basically fought dark wizards and kept things in order. So, what I'm trying to say is how would I get into something like that here? It's the only thing I think I'd be any good at.

[There's a pause.] Anyway, how is everyone? Feel like I've been gone for ages. Also, oi, Luna, let me know when you want to do the flying lessons.

I have a job for you, Prongsie.

It involves a tin of polish, a cloth, and a lot of elbow grease. GUESS WHAT IT IS!

(Tip: The answer does not involve the word "knob")

Hmm. I'll explain better how things like bikes and brooms fly, so that you can show off to Lily in our workshop.

Be good to have her on anyway. I can inscribe the enchantments, but she could probably learn the charms and cast them better.

[Calvin is clearly intrigued]

You're really a wizard cop? Do you have a magic siren?

Wow! Does that mean that all your police stuff is magic? Do you have a magic badge? Magic handcuffs? Magic police hat?

Oh.

That manages to make 'magic police' a lot less fun than it sounded at first. Do you mean that because you can do everything with magic, you don't get any of the usual perks?

I guess that would help balance it out. You can't argue with effectiveness!

And what does a wizard cop do when he catches a so-called 'dark wizard,' precisely?

You do realize that I have no idea what that means, do you not?

[She'll just dismiss that first part with a haughty huff, because she's evil and doesn't care about his week or stress level.]

And what must one do to warrant such punishment? I suppose you have all sorts of lovely rules governing your magic.

And how exactly do you law-abiding wizards stop ones that do not limit themselves so?

You'd look very mature for your age, if you were sixteen.

I'm not very busy, to be honest, so...

Not necessarily. Though you'd have to wear a lot of yellow, if you were marrying that young. Just to be safe.

I was busy looking for Crumple-Horned Snorkacks.

[ Pauses. James, how could you not know this? Everyone knows this. ] Why, for good luck, of course.

...Not yet, but I think I have a chance. They're notoriously shy around Wizards, you see, so of course they would hide amongst Muggles. I don't know why I didn't think of it before.

I guess it doesn't matter now. I'm sorry I missed it, by the way, I'm sure yours was a wonderful ceremony.

Thank you!

Yes, but there are many things that happened before me that I would still like to see.

Magical history's quite interesting, for example, when it isn't being told by Binns.

Yes. I'm starting to wonder if he can't leave.

That would explain a lot, I think.

[ Giggle. Look, even Luna has trouble with Binns. ]

It could be difficult to pay attention. Or stay awake.

You preferred Transfiguration, then?

He is aloof and mysterious... according to him.
