I've at least an idea on some of the smugness, now - when we were coming back from lunch (Mum sends her love), he made sure to let me overhear that he's Maebh Drumgoole's +1 for that cursed wedding.
Honestly, that almost makes me want to show up and be gloriously happy with you at him, and isn't that petty of me. I should be gloriously happy with you entirely for your own sake. (I am, mind you, when I'm not being amazingly difficult at the world.)
As to the suggestion, well. Less outright dismissal than you might think. (Said I'd been thinking a lot.) Some of this year has been much worse because of the visiting schools, mind, but you're right, the thing keeps growing and growing.
I still worry about who might take it up, mind. And if you'd heard some of the proposals today (I can show you the transcripts, actually) you'd be worried too, for Harry and Hydra and all, because some of them are absurdly risky and a few outright ill-intentioned.
But I'm more willing to talk it through and see if we can't figure out how to get someone who'd not be awful in, or an assistant I can trust, or well, something. If you'll help me figure out a way out of the tangle.
I've got a quick errand when we're done here (robes to pick up), but I'll be back after that. And I promise to not take my frustration out on you tonight, truly.
