Antosha, a most pleasant morning to you -

And when, may I inquire, is yours? (Fair is fair, no?)

As to Cedric, of course he's not one of your newts. But he has a great deal of influence with the sett, as is only right. (In your backward reading, I'm sure you've realised by now, but he was the other Hogwarts champion during last year's competition, and handled a deeply complicated situation with a great deal of grace. A number of them - and particularly the more determinedly stubborn - look to him for guidance.)

And isn't the past complicated to talk about? I do appreciate the desire to have enough information to avoid a foot wrong (or both feet, both hands, and one's mouth.) Just that you'll have gathered both topics are more than a little complicated. (And certainly better discussed when I have had less to drink than last night. Though very pleasant that.) But, well. I'd rather, even in the sharper light of morning, that you had more information rather than less. Just let me work up to it, but if there's something you truly need know, please ask.

As to the sleep, I'm glad Poppy was able to be of help. I'm a great trial to her on the subject myself (though, I suspect for different reasons: an irregular schedule combined with the nearby Dementors two years ago and the rather peculiar stresses of last year has not been a restful combination.) But I try to do better, these days, even if it does mean resorting to Poppy's ministrations.

I did have one more wandering thought - something about what you said, on Friday, about the tendency of many to treat each piece as equal to the rest, as opposed to part of a larger and far more subtle whole. There's the same similarity in my own field, and I suspect more than one other, and I'm wondering if teasing that out explicitly might be of use to you. (Raz also explained your planned demonstration while he was rummaging for boxes for you, which I must say sounds intriguing. And entirely practical.) I am afraid it's rather ill-formed and drowsy, as a thought, but perhaps you can do more with it.

Yours, in a pleasant Sunday morning.
A.
