alt_antoninBefore you hear something that will make you worry: the mediwizard says Draco and Harry will both be fine after a non-strenuous afternoon and a good night's sleep.
That out of the way: there was an incident this morning while the children were out on their morning flying practise. It appears that Bode sent out a team this morning to either install the region's Octoboros, or to engage in the preliminaries necessary to do so -- I wasn't able to get much detail out of them -- which caused disruptions to the local ley-lines we have been teaching the children to tap into this fortnight. Draco and Harry were on broomback, and, well, you know what happens when you are flying a ley when it flares.
Thanks to the quick thinking of Miss Parkinson and Mr Finch-Fletchley, they were back in the camp and in the hands of the mediwizard shortly thereafter, and Savitha and I are taking utmost care with them. And I have taken the opportunity to let Bode know precisely what I think of his secrecy: had we known the team was present we would of course have kept the children away. He has been arguing the reason to keepme everyone out of his business this summer is to prevent a repeat of this spring's setback; with luck this will prove to him that 'everyone', of course, does not mean me.

They were exceedingly fortunate they were not the only ones present; Mr Weasley was injured as badly as they both were, but Pansy and Finch-Fletchley were far enough away that they did not get caught in the flare.
Our plans for the afternoon having been quite thoroughly ruined, Savitha and I are keeping a close watch on them, in between bouts of teaching each other new and interesting invective. (In languages the children do not speak, lest we lose our authority in their eyes.) That is another small bright spot: she is as put out about this as I am, and I am beginning to think we might be able to win her to our side, in the maneuverings against Mysteries at very least.
