December and the YPL
Dear students and visiting guests,
Our upcoming lecture:
On December 3rd, we will welcome several medwizards, who have graciously offered their time on Saturday to share some tips on dealing with urgent injuries and crisis care. Our guests are welcome to join us for this. You will be divided into groups, spending forty-five minutes with each presenter. Please gather at 1pm in the Great Hall for the introduction, and we will split off to other spaces from there.
CCF students: you will be grouped together and cover topics in more depth, as you covered some of the basics last summer, and will also have an additional hour training session following the main presentations.
(Thanks to Miss Perks for suggesting that this would be an excellent topic.)
Preparing for the Yule Ball
CCF students and YPL counsellors are asked to assist with various small duties relating to hosting the Yule Ball. Planning sessions will take place on Thursday, December 8th or Saturday, December 10th. Please sign up on the lists by my office for one of these two times no later than this coming Thursday. Each session will last two hours and begins at 7pm.
A schedule conflict
Finally, due to YPL planning committee needs, I must be in New London on Sunday, December 11th and Monday the 12th. My classes are cancelled for that Monday, including the observing session that evening (though I will be giving you assignments to cover the missing session this week). I will obviously not be available for questions or my normal office hours during those two days. I am confident this will be the last such disruption for this school year, and appreciate your patience.
Miss Clearwater and Mister Avery, I have an additional note for you below.

Private message to Felix Green
Just wanted to confirm that you’re on top of scheduling time for me at Revati Patil’s on the Monday. She’s said it will take 60 to 90 minutes, but she’s glad to arrange it based on my schedule. I’d prefer a long lunch, if we can make that work with the code discussions in the morning, otherwise at 5pm.
If I’ve got all the changes, that means the schedule is:
Sunday:
10: Welcome, review of the last two events.
10:30: Review of spring plans (except for Melete)
11:30: lunch. (Can you arrange something that needs my attention so I cannot go out? And a sandwich?)
12:30: Review budget and staffing needs for spring.
1: Melete reviews her plans for the mural.
2: Coordinating CCF and YPL plans, timing, etc.
2:30: break
3: initial CCF planning. (Split sections, or everyone together?)
3:45: Code recognition committee resolution.
One favour:
The Wilton Consort are playing Sunday night - I’d very much like to go if you can get me a ticket. (But please make sure you don’t let Stint or Gimlet know where I’ll be.) Would you check if either Helena or Campanella might be interested?
And please book me at the usual inn, though could you confirm a top floor room so I don't get woken up at dawn again?
Monday:
9am: code recognition planning (assuming we have a solution)
10: summer schedule planning with list of needed specialists.
11:30: break (Revati’s at 11:45?)
1:30: MLE and relevant protection details
2:15: Transporation
2:45: International Magical Cooperation
3:30: Final summary, full committee, end by 4:30.
And then you and I will finish any remaining business and paperwork, though I think we’re largely caught up, yes?
Re: Private message to Felix Green
Thanks for the confirmations. Owl and signed parchments on their way back to you for the payments.
On Monday: my parents asked if I'd join them for supper (they'd like 5:30), so if you have parchment work for me, and it'll take more than an hour, can we find another slot for some of it? Perhaps over lunch Sunday?
Also, reviewing my notes, I realised I'd forgotten I wanted to talk about some sort of resource list for halfbloods. Could we push that into 11 or so on Monday? If we get short on time, we can table it until March if we have to, though I'd really rather not.
Much appreciation, as always.
