Last day of August

[alt_sinistra]

It seems entirely unreal, that we are, in fact, able to look ahead to a new school year, after so many changes and losses.

Those of you returning to Hogwarts, we'll have a lot to talk about, but please know that the Astronomy Tower is open for conversation, snacks, and the comfort of a cat, should you need any of those. (Or a quiet place to read and think and not be bothered if you need that instead.)

Those of you coming to Hogwarts for the first time, I am so very much looking forward to getting to know you, and helping you learn all the things you want to learn. There is no place in the world like Hogwarts, even when she's a bit battered.

For everyone else, we need so many different skills and talents and experiences and ideas to rebuild, and I am looking forward to seeing how that goes, whatever it means.

We should talk, about what it looks like next, you apprenticing. We have a fair bit we should go back and fill in sometime.

And Georg's written, wanting to make sure you get introduced to other astronomers, properly - he's suggesting some suppers, here, during term, if you're willing and don't think it would be too much. Probably you and me and him and one other person.

But for right now, tell me what you want, and I'll do everything I can to make that happen. And please, tell me if your schedule's too much, or you need time with your family, or time on your own, or anything like that. It's going to take a while to figure out what works and what doesn't, I think.

Stars last night were good, yeah? Both the watching and the quiet.

I'll be in my rooms for the rest of the night.
