My dearest of northern lights, if anyone is to mutter imprecations that they did not act swiftly enough, it is certainly not you. I was muttering about transfiguring the woman into something heavy and dropping her in the lake as far back as, oh, October, and if I had done so, none of this would have been an issue. This is what I get when I attempt to serve as a good example for the children, I suppose.

And yes, by all means, feed the children; it has been years since Berry has had the satisfaction of a teenager's appetite, and more than one at a time will send her into paroxysms of delight. Is whatever it is anything I might help with?

Going to sleep now, really, I mean it,
