It is very good to be back on my feet, though of course the difficulty after a long illness is in accustoming oneself to how rapidly the world around one seems to have changed when one was ill. Still, I am pleased at the prospect of being able to devote myself to the castle's matters more vigorously than I have been able.
And I do, in fact, know precisely how much value to place on a professor with his student's best interests at heart; I had several of my own during my own years in Hogwarts, and valued them greatly. I have been charged with the task of your education by Our Lord himself, and I will attend that task with as much diligence as I might. You and your fellows may, if nothing else, rely on that.
I hope you will continue to feel as though my classroom and my office can be refuges to you and to your fellows as often as you find yourselves in need.
