(Taking the more certain form of address for the message for the moment: the journals are mysterious that way. Also, yes, still a little nervous about what others will think there.)
You doing all right today? Sorry not to make it to lunch, but - well. I slept in, and then we had Harry up for tea and conversation for a good bit of the afternoon. (Mostly Quidditch, which I am cheerfully obliging about.) But if you need something, do ask, and I’m glad to help.
As above, will be up on the tower for a while, but otherwise expect to be in Raz’s rooms, settling in with a few of the books you lent me. I’m only a few pages into the theory and already have questions. To start, I’d no real idea there were so many different theories on what makes binding charms - and blood ones, in particular - work as they do. Aren’t we back to that discussion of intention and forcing the universe to your will and wild magics again, somehow? (And yes, after seeing it yesterday, I would be most interested in learning more about that warding.)
And I am not forgetting my promise to get the actual data I mentioned to you - I just need to draft it properly into a form that will make sense to someone outside the family, which, well. Not happening today, as I’d rather be down with Raz while I can, and it’d be easier to spread out my notes in my office. There are, in fact, things that distract me from research.
Also have something I think I want to loan you sooner than later - a mystery novel, but I’d need to explain why and the background.
