— Has Poundtree contacted you back about the list I gave them? I'm beginning to think at least a few of the titles don't exist anywhere outside Mysteries, and they are not being forthcoming.

— I am expecting a package under Ouroboros seal later today -- if it comes in while I am teaching, bring it into the classroom and leave it on my desk as unobtrusively as possible; it ought not be left unsupervised for long. Wear gloves to carry it, or hold it in your robes; it will not hurt you, but you are likely to be sensitive to its aura.

— Also, try to get me an hour after class tomorrow afternoon with Brüggen from Expermental Charms & Curses; I haven't been satisfied with their reports regarding Saltash. In person is preferred, firecall will do if necessary. Schedule through supper as a last resort, but do not push it past 7pm. If Brüggen puts you off, I'd also take time with Dmitriy Veselov, but try for Brüggen first. Be firm.

— Oh, and speaking of Saltash -- I've been hearing some muttering today on McLaggen's behalf directed at the Longbottom children, thanks to speculation about their father being involved in why the experiment went awry. As grief manifests in many ways I do not wish to intervene directly, but you're likely to know better than I which of McLaggen's friends are likely to take matters into their own hands; do keep an eye out for me, if you would.

— I've left the third-year quizzes on your worktable for you to mark. The answer key is atop.
