Think nothing of it, my dear boy. Few among us have not had the experience of a slip of the tongue at an inopportune moment -- when we have a moment free, remind me to tell you the story of the time a misplaced bookmark once nearly got me killed.

Discretion in trying circumstances can be learned ex post facto; strategic gifts such as yours are, I have found, partially innate. And initiative, of course, is a pearl of great price.

Do get some sleep tonight; I suspect none of you are thinking entirely clearly.

Regards,
Professor Dolohov
