Ugh. Stint. He’s been pushier today, not quite grabby but near it. And invitations to both lunch and dinner. Thankfully, I already had made other plans. (And dealing with people griping because we’re here on a Sunday when it’s mostly his and Helpmann’s fault is annoying. Though on the whole, I’m glad to have these meetings out of the way before the holidays for various reasons.)
He did try to throw a fit about your preparations for the first YPL event, and in general. But because of your inventories, and the report of your skills from Healer Behm and last week’s reports, and a little private strategy with others on the committee, it was quite easy to convince the rest that matters were in fine hands. I have no faith it will hold, but perhaps it will give you a little break.
We may well have an assigned healer come along for the January event, just in case something goes wrong while we’re away from Hogwarts, but Stint’s bowed out there, too.
Apparently, he dislikes the cold rather intensely, and found Hogwarts tedious to apparate to last week. I had not expected to spend the next two days declaiming my love for Scotland’s climate and glorious isolation, but there you are. I am amusing myself in boring parts of this meeting writing a list of ways to be enthusiastic about our weather.
I am, by the way, assuming you would rather not spend a day in January on a snowy hillside supervising a large number of students trying to achieve various goals. If I’m wrong about that, do let me know.
And since I didn’t have a chance to catch up with you before this - I think the CCF planning sessions went well enough, though we obviously need a bit more coordinated practice. I think everything’s in good order for the other sessions, and Felix was indeed able to find me a few of the recordings you were hoping for, so we’ll have a better variety of practice pieces.
