Those for whom the information is useful -- as mentioned in the Prophet, I have returned to Our Lord's Protectorate in hopes I may be of service.

Those for whom the information is enticing -- I have finished unpacking and shall be holding informal salons over the next few days for those who are so inclined to come relieve me of the excess books that appear to have bred in my trunk while I wasn't looking. Inquire at the usual address.

Re: Private Message to Percival Weasley

Mr Weasley --

Think nothing of it. The task of educating is not a chore but a privilege, and one scholar does always recognise another. I will look forward to hearing your insights should you choose to share them, though the gift carries no obligation save this: someday you will see that hungry look in the eye of another. Pass the books along then, and think fondly of me when you do.

You flatter me, though modesty (prudence, alas, is a lost cause if I haven't found it by now) forces me to disclaim a Venomous Tentacula would likely be a more popular instructor than my predecessor. Happy to tutor you through your educational shortcomings by journal throughout the year, though you may need to remind me, and please do.

My only requirement -- do not allow your work to suffer; my old friend would likely feed me to said Tentacula should I distract you too badly.

With regard,
Antonin Dolohov

Thank you again for the use of your elf's services for the afternoon. The assistance was most welcome.

I am already two chapters into one of the books and finding it quite absorbing (although not to the neglect of my work duties for Mr Malfoy, I hasten to assure you!). I hope you won't regret your offer to give me the benefit of your insights through the journals if I send you occasional questions. Thank you again.
