Two notes

[alt_sinistra]

To answer a number of questions I've gotten recently.

First, I've been asked what I think of our new Headmaster.

In the two years I've known him, I've come to greatly value both Headmaster Dolohov's breadth and depth of knowledge and willingness to share what he knows, and also his ability to admit what he does not yet know and learn more about it.

More than that, I deeply respect his approach to teaching, wanting each student to know themselves and what they're capable of. No small thing, that. I look forward to his plans for the school and I like the ones I've heard so far.

Second, I do intend to continue teaching, and cannot imagine being anywhere other than Hogwarts come September. Students, if you have questions about preparing for the coming year or astronomy, you are welcome to write.

I'll be available most or all of the day on Saturday as well.

Lemon biscuits sound delightful!

I'll try to keep the conversation light, if I wonder too much into complaining about bureaucratic dunderheads just pull me up short.

Harry, we may need to end up talking about the DoE and the tutor papers. Today has been... unproductive on that front.

Lemon it is.

Mid-afternoon for the flying? Less likely to run into people around here than later.

Cedric, you complaining does not particularly count as difficult. Might have some ideas for you, too, on how to get around blocks.

Swangrove is awful. Go straight to her assistant, Atticus Ito. He's got a tonne more sense, and will let you know about random rules before they become an issue.

And there are a lot of random rules.
