Very well done!

For those students who have worked long and hard to bring the play to fruition, well done! Standing in the hall as our guests were leaving, I saw many smiles, and heard many compliments for how well, on the whole, everyone worked together to make something greater than themselves.

I know there have been some long nights recently: for students with roles in the play, you are welcome to a week's extension on assignments for my classes due this week if needed - just let me know that you'd appreciate the extra time.

I've a few treats to drop off for the cast party, and I'll be nearby in case anyone wants a walk back to their own house door before the party fully breaks up, since I'd like to give the prefects involved in the production the same chance to relax and enjoy your triumph.

Again, well done!

Private message to Aurora Sinistra

Happy to have that over with? I know I am. If that's the last time I see a little girl mince about pretending to be me, it'll be too soon!

Oh, Merlin, yes.

Though, really, it went rather well all things considered, and none of your friends or relations seem to have felt totally insulted, which would rather have been a problem.

It really was good for some of the things that got the project approved in the first place - getting students working together for a larger goal, learning skills we can't cover in class, that sort of thing. But I am most glad it's done with.

I hope we can direct their energy into some other project next year, though, honestly. I don't think I'm up for this every year. (Or, perhaps, into some historical era, rather than the recent past, so at least all sorts of people, you included, don't have to worry about who'll be portraying them.)

Drink sometime?

Sometimes my relations surprise me. I would have thought Bella first in line to judge the one portraying her, but my brother was in the audience alone (well, with Narcissa, Lucius, and others, but sans Madam Auror). I reckon she reasoned that she was above caring about some school-level production and threw herself into her work, instead. I wish I could say I'm surprised that she didn't come to see her daughter, but... there is that work thing, right? Yes.

Drink sometime. The sooner, the better.

That is the challenge of the modern career witch, so Witch Weekly keeps putting on their covers. It is a pity, though - I thought her daughter did quite well, and it was clearly a pleasure for her to see your brother.

On the drink - tomorrow promises to be cloudy in the evening, in which case I'll be cancelling our observing, so that might do if you're free.

Tomorrow night then! (tonight, that is...looks cloudy from my classroom, anyway..)
