Two notes
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.

Re: Private Message to Professor Siz
And yes. It's been difficult. The Malfoys have been a constant in my life ever since I can remember. Anything I can think of to say to Aunt Narcissa just sounds utterly inadequate. I feel awful for her, and so worried about Lucius, and I miss Draco terribly.
So you might say I feel a little unmoored lately. But Sally-Anne and Ron have been wonderful, and I've got no end of things to keep me busy, which helps.
Re: Private Message to Professor Siz
And yes, the Malfoys. So difficult to know what to say, and I keep thinking over bits of it and getting very tangled.
Good friends are a help, though. And distraction.
Re: Private Message to Professor Siz
And yes to both. Along those lines, if you ever need any distraction at all, please, say the word.
