There, that's finished, and I seem to have made my point; if looks could kill our dear Headmistress would have set me on fire before supper had even been served. And the children were amused. And I did manage to remember the spells my mother taught me to keep the headdress from getting too irritating, at least, though nothing in the world will make the pectoral collar itch less.

Things I would not have ever imagined doing a few months ago: eating an entire supper in the Great Hall shirtless and kilted. I am back to less ostentatious clothing, however, and will be joining you in a moment, once I finish removing the last of the makeup; if you haven't started the tracking spell first, I'll lend you a hand.

(That really was inordinately fun. Did you see how many of the little darlings nearly swallowed their tongues?)
