Owl sent to the Sorting Hat

[tktactile.livejournal.com]

True to his word, Kon-El had done a little research to figure out who to write to about dealing with the massive carnivorous plants apparently prone to random acts of toy-theft and student-eating, and found to his dismay that there wasn't actually anyone to write to. Which made sense, because if the plants had been fed or terrorized into good behavior or if there'd at least been someone on guard, the entire thing wouldn't have come up! Probably.

Since dealing with giant man-eating plants was practically part of the superhero job description and the giant man-eating plants needed to be dealt with, Superboy decided to write a different letter instead. To the Sorting Hat.


Name
Superboy
Kon-El
(also called The Kid)

Position Desired
-Professor of Herbology

Education
-Sort of none, but was grown in a lab and programmed with appropriate knowledge and stuff
-Hangs around with scientists and smart people all the time, some of it has probably rubbed off
-Will be sixteen the same age forever, so there's lots of time to learn new things

Relevant Experience
-Superhero! Guardian of Hawaii and founding member of Young Justice. Someone who has beaten up supervillains would have no problem keeping carnivorous plants in line
-Keeping carnivorous plants from eating helpless students is almost what being a superhero is all about
-Labs are sort of like greenhouses, right? Less glass and less direct sunlight, but organized and stuff probably? Was born and has lived in a lab.

Other Qualifications
-Tactile telekinesis! If the plants swallow something they shouldn't, it can be gotten back before it has been digested. Can out-strength any plant, seriously.
-Can fill, carry, and pour watering can
-probable world champion at fertilizer-sprinkling
-does not sunburn even in sun focused by glass panes
-does not actually throw up while listening to classical music Plants like that stuff right?

Thank you, Mr. Kon-El. I will owl your curriculum vitae to the Board of Governors immediately.

[ugly-old-hat.livejournal.com]

The Board of Governors feels it is most appropriate that a person who was grown, not born, should be the master of the plant domain! Also, if as guardian of Hawaii you can arrange for us any discounts on lodging or luaus, we will be most appreciative.

Therefore, Kon-El, you are hereby appointed Professor of Herbology of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, for the standard term of one year, to be continued upon application and approval. Your pay is set at the standard rate of *G*5,000 per annum, with room, board and sufficient robes and linens, and a house elf designated to attend to your needs. You may continue to live in Gryffindor House, if you wish. However, you may wish to make use of separate, more private chambers. Your office is located on the ground floor, with a separate, private exit to your classroom, which is of course the herbology greenhouses. Your key to the staff room is enclosed.

The Board of Governors wishes you the best success in your teaching endeavors.

Are you thinking of doing an herbology class/office hours/open RP in the greenhouse anytime soon, or would you consider doing so if you've got the time and inclination? I'd love to get A into herbology.

Are you still planning on playing Professor, or have you moved on? I'd love to take up the mantle, if you're willing to pass it on.

Hi, Kon-mun!

We've missed you at Hogwarts Hocus and we understand that RL always takes precedence over RP. We're writing because currently another mun is interested in the Herbology professorship that Kon-El currently holds. She has tried to contact you by posting to Kon's CV. We have e-mailed this message to the e-mail address listed for you in the contact post and are also posting it here in case that address is no longer current.

If you do not have the time for a professorship, would you consider giving up the position? It is within your rights to keep the professorship, of course. If you would like to keep it and foresee being active again, please let us know. If we don't receive a reply after three days, we will take this as indication you are no longer actively interested and we will allow the new mun to have the Herbology professorship.

All best,
The Hogwarts Hocus mod team (Siri, Prima, Aayla, and Emoz)

Hi again!

We haven't heard from you, so we are going to go ahead and let the other mun take the Herbology professorship that Kon-El had been holding. It was great fun playing with Kon-El and we hope you'll be able to return to the game when RL allows time for it.

Best,
The Hogwarts Hocus mod team
