Yesterday's event
Congratulations to all the hard work of all three teams yesterday. I understand from the planning staff that there will be some additional individual feedback forthcoming for our CCF students, but overall, they were quite pleased with your creative problem-solving and approach to the various challenges. And to our guests, I hope you enjoyed the outing.
An event of this complexity takes many people’s time and effort: we could not have conducted these exercises without the efforts of the attending CCF planning staff, Aurors, Auror trainees, MLE staff, and Healer Kerr. They gave up a Saturday to join us, and I’m sure we all appreciate their time and careful attention.
My particular thanks to Mr Smith, Miss Bones, and Mr Macmillan for their help (and to their respective team leaders for the loan), and especially to Mr Smith for his quick thinking. As you may have heard by now, Miss Haley is quite recovered and back in her dorm.

Re: Private message to Raz
I don't know that I ever told you about the interview process, really. But the point at which I knew I'd say yes, if they offered, was when I walked into the room with the other candidates, and listened to how they talked.
So many people look at our students as dolls. Pawns. Pieces to be moved around, or ignored, or whatever's convenient. Not just the halfbloods, though they come in for a lot of it, but everyone. Or everyone but their own personal special connections.
Hypatia knows I mess up - and will again, I'm sure, and certainly stretch myself thin.
But I hope there's something in seeing them as individuals, of looking not at what's easiest for me, but best for them. I'm not the only person who could do that, mind. And I find I'm unwilling to hand things over to anyone who'd do less.
