Glad and gladder that thing's gone, and it's just as well that Narcissa is not being fussed about it. (Well, at least to our faces.)
As to Ms Patil - she wrote back a few minutes ago, saying she's better now, but no details at all. Not that I'd push. It really was very embarassing last night for her, I'm sure. I'm just glad Lares was handy, he's got a good sense of how to manage her.
I admit, I'm rather worried about Katie, too. Especially after talking to Harry this morning. I can see his point, and yet - well. This matter of being a role model is so very complicated sometimes. Especially when they deserve the right to choose for themselves the things they get to choose. (Could you have a word with Cal, or would that make everything worse?)
The rest of the house and our guests seem to have survived well enough, though the elves just fished another dozen glasses out of odd places in the library. And Mum sent round a lovely note (from her and Dad and Diane and Chiron) you can have a look at when you wander down here again.
