Private message to Antonin Dolohov
Antosha -
Thinking back over last night, you know, I'm very sorry. That was one of the least coherent explanations I could have managed. Some of what we talked about, over the projections, clearly threw me a bit more than I'd realised.
And of course, we didn't actually get into talking about the meat of some of it: you've the barest bones, now, but not the emotional implications. (I know you can fill in a fair portion of it, of course, but that's not the same as actual discussion.) Kept me thinking, some of last night. (And goodness, realising how much I'd entirely glossed over.)
What I did mean to say, and didn't manage at all (beyond the above), was that if you'd like to pick my brain about any of the students where you're deciding between the theoretical and practical, I'd be glad to help - especially for the fourth and fifth years, I've seen them in YPL settings, and for all those who tried for the CCF, there's all sorts of other metrics and measures. (Some of them far more useful than others, mind.) And I've still got my own personal notes on those, even though I turned all the official ones over to Dolores.
I did think of a couple of other things you might find of use - can I stop by just before supper, or would you rather I send them down with one of the house elves? They include eight and nine of American Witches but also a few of my earlier sample projection stones. And something that might help you feel a touch less of the chill.
