alt_sinistraIt seems a bit dull to use this journal only as a means of giving points to students (although I am sure you lot enjoy that) so I think I shall endeavour to use it for more interesting topics.
Interesting to me, anyway.
I am sad to say that the Leonids ended last week. I love a good meteor shower, me. I can't be too sad though, because the Geminids will start up in about two weeks. Hogwarts has always been a grand location for observing the night sky, but it has only got better since the horrible lights of the Muggle cities have been darkened.
One of my greatest regrets is that I have never been fortunate enough to travel to the Southern Hemisphere to view the constellations in an entirely different manner. Perhaps someday our Lord Protector will allow his children to travel through his protective wards.
I've heard the American Muggles have installed a telescope deep into space which has the capability of sending them astonishing photographs. Of course, the Muggles have cocked it all up and the silly thing isn't worth a tinkers cuss. Typical, really.
I got a letter from my sister Tempest today. Apparently Diane is pregnant again, her sixth. I think she's trying to break mum and dad's record. Or perhaps she's doing her part for Wizarding Britain.
Personally, I think my students are all the children Ican stand need.
Speaking of students: Ten points to the first one who can tell me the names of the twins in the constellation Gemini.
