Still, as someone who seems to repeat the principles of organised reporting every other minute when I'm class, I do wish I'd given a better account of myself there. Ah, well. Time will mend, and as you point out, a great deal of it was pointing you at other people.
On the students, yes. Raz is out watching the Slytherin Quidditch trials (naturally, given Harry's participation), and while I poked my head out, I decided warmth and getting some marking done would be better for me. (And I am definitely staying out of public view while Dolores launches her exercise plans.)
As to Mr Nott - well, yes. There are reasons we didn't accept him for CCF, either. I do rather agree you may have an easier time with the fourth and fifth years without prior practical experience - at least those without parents to guide them at home.
Look, let me finish up this round of marking. I'm almost done with my fourths, and that just leaves me the 2nds and 3rds to do sometime tomorrow. Twenty minutes, maybe thirty? And then I'll come down bearing things for you. (Something for the chill, a couple of the test stones I did, and a few other things. I think I've one or two of the "experiments using different materials" handy here, too.)
As to your last, well. Few enough people think to compliment it, mind. Barring you. I'd certainly be glad to listen to ideas, and I'd love anything that improved the process for the full sky images - they take so long and require such recovery time that they're very hard to do, even though they're extremely useful.
