Heading into supper
Hogwarts does rather seem to be a font of newsworthy commentary today.
As those reading other journals might have figured out, we spent the afternoon out in the Forbidden Forest. I'd never seen a unicorn hunt before - well, so few have, as they're so rarely done - and did have a decent enough view from one of the rows of seats.
More later, I suspect - but right now, I promised to go help herd the Hufflepuffs and keep them in good order, as several of my colleagues have other preparations for the feast tonight on their hands right now. There's a lot of buzzing around and all sorts of excitement among the students, but I'm sure they'll all be on their best behaviour with such distinguished guests.

I think, perhaps, it's that I still remember my own school days so clearly. How every new thing was exciting and thrilling - and all of the gossip and talk that went around about it. I've tried to find ways to let the students get that out of their system while still getting done what they need to do. Or maybe it's growing up in a larger family, and being used to keeping my siblings in line.
I am glad all of yesterday's efforts went off so well. Though of course, I am hardly surprised given all the talents of those who work to make our Lord Protector's desires come to be.

That was my one regret yesterday. I've gotten fond of starting the week knowing I'll have a chance to catch up with you in the afternoon. I feel rather out of step with myself today - though that might just be all of yesterday's excitements. (Certainly, I think that's the case with the students - the third years just couldn't stop talking this morning. Changed what we were going to be doing so they all had to participate, and they finally did settle.)
