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.

Private Message to Minerva McGonagall

[alt_antonin]

Minerva --

I must apologize for taking so long to finalize the booklist -- I of all people know how inconvenient it is to have change thrust upon you. I have owled the final revision to your attention and it should arrive this morning. Do let me know when the student copies go out, as I'd like to make a public announcement for the benefit of those who may find themselves confused.

Books will be on hold with Flourish & Blotts beginning Monday, and they've agreed to accept journal orders for those unable to make a return trip to Diagon before start of term. I strongly suspect there will be ongoing issues with the availability of certain titles, particularly at NEWT-level. If you hear from parents having difficulty, redirect them to me so I might take up the cause: I believe I finally have my contact in Procurement suitably cowed.

I had hoped to arrive at Hogwarts by Wednesday to begin my prep, but it's looking as though Thursday is far more likely. I shall call upon you to pay my respects at the earliest opportunity. I trust my request for quarters near the office that is to be mine, to minimize the strain to an entirely-too-slow-to-recover body, will not be too taxing.

Do let me know if there's anything I can obtain for you.

Yours in faithful service to Our Lord's ideals,
Antonin
