alt_antoninDid you know the kitten plates in Dolores's office were actual cats after all? I woke entirely too early with a cat sleeping on my head. I have no idea how it got in here. I have explained to it that I am not feeding it, not providing it toys, and not bringing it back to New London with me when I depart for the summer; it seems undaunted.
If MLE is to be called in at all, it will be today, when Madam Umbridge fails to make her scheduled appearance at court. I've no idea how He will react -- whether He will order an investigation pro forma or will simply be pleased Harry has rid us all of the annoyance. If He orders the investigation, come by my classroom when you arrive; I will provide you a statement that will neatly tie off the loose ends and save you some time. Given Our Lord's wishes, it's likely you will not need to investigate too closely.
The boy who took the curse meant for Harry has quite the recovery period ahead of him, meanwhile. He is young and strong, at least, and we were all fortunate that I reached him in time to -- with Pomfrey's help, as I would not entrust the care of even this purring monstrosity swatting at my quill to Kerr -- unpick the worst of it. The Healers at St M's were most sarcastic at me when we transferred the boy, but after my own experiences with them, I was not about to give them a patient in such dire straits until I was certain we'd got the curse undone. I grow more and more convinced that raising a Healer of our own out of one of my ducklings would be a wise move; fortunately, I believe one or two of them can be nudged in that direction.
Do say you'll come up to the castle tonight even if you are not called in officially today? I could use a shoulder to lean against whilst I manage things.
