-- and these past several weeks, difficult as they have been, have shown me that after so many years of working on my own, it is lovely to have the support of those who uphold true wizarding culture and values, both to work with and to return to afterwards.

Too, I must thank those at Hogwarts who kept the home fires burning, often at great inconvenience to themselves (particularly Deputy Headmistress Vector, who is the very model of a servant to the Protectorate's future, and our Head Boy and Head Girl, who have, I have been told, stepped in to show excellent examples of leadership).

I must also take a moment to memorialize my brother in service Glaucus Gibbon, whom I knew since we were children together and whose death diminishes us all. His sacrifice for the future of the Protectorate and in service to Our Lord's vision will not be forgotten.

Students: a reminder to you all that I will expect to collect the assignments you were given in my absence at our first class meeting this week, and we will work to make up the gaps in the curriculum as quickly as possible. Your willingness to be flexible both for the past two weeks and for the remainder of term is greatly appreciated. I will be holding my open hours this week where possible, unless I am called away for additional matters of state: please feel free to avail yourselves of them.
