Thanks and appreciation
I’ve just seen the last of our rising second years off, and we’re just wrapping up here now. A bit of tidying, and our debriefing with our counsellors, as always, then we get to get off home as well.
My thanks once more to everyone who put in so much time and energy on this week’s camping trip. As always, we owe a great deal of gratitude to the many specialists who gave a few hours to offering a nature walk, providing a lecture or discussion, or teaching our students fascinating new charms.
But this year, I particularly want to thank all our counsellors (Eric Bundy, Samantha Montgomery, Grant Page, Susan Bones, Ernie MacMillan, Draco Malfoy, Sally-Anne Perks, and Dean Thomas) for their good nature and hard work under less than ideal circumstances. I know this was not the most pleasant week to be camping, but they all did their best to make everything run as smoothly and enjoyably as possible. Well done and most appreciated, all of you.
As always, parents, if you have any questions about our activities or your child, please do contact me via the YPL clerk’s office or by journal.

Private message to Mum
Almost certainly just me on Thursday unless the weather's truly miserable. Raz does have some other obligations. I don't mind, truly - it's in a good cause. And it'd be nice to have a little time with just family. (And it might be easier to persuade Diane if he's not there, actually.)
I know you and she think I fuss too much, but honestly. I know Diane got Andie that new book, Elation - she wrote to me about it. Ask Andie how different that Hogwarts is from the one we live in. It's not all light and cheery frolics in Charms class.
How anyone could think that after the past few yearsI am so grateful the Carrows are gone, you've no idea. And you know I and others do all we can to keep our students safe. But there's still far more risk than anyone would like, and more than a few students who like pushing the limits and seeing what they can get away with. And someone ends up their first victim.
I want Andie to be able to take care of herself if she has to. No matter what.
See you Thursday, noon.
