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 Sinistra
I understand from my brother that you helped Mr Moon tidy up things when I couldn't. I should have thanked you long since. It's good to hear you're finding the things I suggested useful, too.

Fitz and I are making wonderful progress on our Arithmancy project. We'll be collecting data for it all this month, and are quite excited now that we have a proper set of formulas we can use to make sense of it. So yes, quite useful. And I've truly enjoyed reading about the moons of Saturn, too. It's a beautifully written book, and not nearly as dense as I thought it would be.
