Many happy returns to you, and I hope the day treats you wonderfully. I have a little something for your office - we can figure out when I should bring it up later today. So sorry I didn't get a chance to reply last night, but we had the usual round of first year wobbles one expects. (Overwhelmed by the work, and scared they're going to fail everything miserably, nothing difficult) and it took a while to sort out.
Poppy has, I see, been her exceedingly sensible self. I do remember Briony Fleet, yes, and i must say, that doesn't quite surprise me. She always was one of those girls who wanted to know everyone's family connections so she could make use of them. (And there was always something a little unsavoury about - was that her brother or her cousin - anyway, one of our slightly more distant exam potion mishaps.
(You'd told me about Tempest's list. Is she still doing well, then, at her current place? You'd mentioned she was hopeful.)
I did also have a - well, productive - conversation with Antonin. He promises to ask you further about a number of topics relating to recent history, as we were so short on time. Do let me know if there's things you don't get to, though, as we want to get him up to speed as quickly as we can. And I'd like to discuss him and his class a little further with you when we get a chance, and get your impressions in more detail.
Right. I should wander to breakfast. Do take joy in the day, my dear, and we'll try to keep tonight's meeting short for you. (Well, ourselves, too, but.)
