Wondering if you've had a moment to think on what I asked you Tuesday.
Of course, I haven't seen applications come in yet, but it's already clear the Slytherin interest in the YPL counsellor positions is extremely high, and I'd much appreciate your thoughts.
As you know, while many of the characteristics are similar to those I know you (and the other heads of house) consider for prefect positions, I’m also looking at how well students work across houses, and with providing direct leadership and mentoring to younger students. And of course, any information you think might be useful as I and the commitee members review applications is always appreciated.
We can stretch to 10 positions this year, I think, due to the size of the first year class, which gives us a little more room, but I do try to keep things balanced between houses and genders. I already know that Miss Greengrass, Miss Parkinson, and Miss Perks are all interested and well-qualified among the girls. And while I understand Mr Zabini is politely not particularly interested, there's the question of both Mr Malfoy and Mr Marvolo. (Crabbe and Goyle, naturally, would not win out in such circumstances regardless.)
On the latter point, I suspect I may need to make some careful inquiries about Our Lord's plans for his son this summer, but I'd appreciate your advice on that before doing so.
