Private Message to Poppy Pomfrey

I woke having dreamt of our discussion of the other night, which generally means my subconscious has identified something my conscious mind has missed and is trying to get through to me by whatever means necessary.

If you will indulge me -- when you said that St M's wanted more regular data on my progress from you -- you said it was "your team of Healers" making a request. By that, did you mean the request arrived under Healer Kosta or Healer Allthorpe's seals, or was the parchment unsealed and signed "on behalf" by one or more of their juniors?

I do not necessarily begrudge them the data if it will lead to faster recovery or to others in my position receiving better care in the future, but some of what is being requested seems -- well, "intrusive and irrelevant" is as good a term as any. My suspicions are beginning to stir.

If you were in my shoes, would you accede to their request? Given that I do wish to advance the state of knowledge where possible, but not by sacrificing too much of my privacy, my convenience, or your time and effort that should belong to the students.

I also must ask: if I decline to cooperate with the monitoring they have requested from you, will that reflect badly upon you? Please be honest: I am aware you are a very dear friend of Auri's and for her sake I would not want to cause you grief.

Regards,
Antonin
