I don't envy you, having lessons scheduled on Valentine's Day evening, with that stew of adolescent hormones at its height, I must say!

Miss Midgen has been avoiding me as well, but I gather from the comments of other students that there was a scene at mealtime--she presented Mr. Summers with an elaborate Valentine and he reacted rather badly. "Get away from me, you spotty cow," and other remarks in that line.

As to Miss Greengrass, I must admit that I haven't noticed any changes there; my spare attention during lessons being generally occupied with more obvious sources of trouble, such as Miss Bulstrode and Mr. Goyle.
