My apologies, the stars were particularly brill tonight, and I was squeezing in every moment on the tower I could. (I will spare you the rhapsodies, but really, best clear night we’ve had in months, and the Milky Way was glorious. I basked.) The thought of “emergency Aristotle”, though, entirely delights me.
Let me pause to read below, before I continue. Oh, Antosha - I assume Narcissa cleared it up for you? I’m sorry, I’m sitting here laughing till I cry. (Not at you, I rush to assure, but at the situation.) I... and of all people, Miss Lovegood. Oh, goodness. (I have not read it, mind you, but Temp was telling me all about it over tea on Tuesday. Quite the rage with various circles of witches - both those who enjoy mocking it and those who like the dalliance with things they’d dare not ask their husbands for. It’s rather badly done of its kind, which is why I’ve not read it yet.)
Look, can I help? I don’t think you need worry too much about Miss Lovegood in class, except for her entirely insatiable sense of curiousity. If you would like, send her to me if she’s got questions about the content - or Poppy, for the mechanics. Poppy has anatomical models, so she tells me.
Right, on to happier subjects. I think you will find the series delightfully amusing, and I look forward to discussing it. And I will pack quite the little set of things to hand you tomorrow. Mum’s scones, the back issues of the various magazines, and two delightful little books. (I’m quite sure I’ll finish the second tonight.)
On the rest - you sound remarkably like Raz, there, you know. I promise, next week, when you have me on my own. (And really, at my disposal in all things? On such short acquaintance, sir! But thank you, truly.) It’s just - well. That’s another discussion, entitled “June, after the third task” that we should probably also have. Short version: I try to avoid worrying Raz when it's not actually necessary. It's not very good for him.
Do you need me to come down with an emergency ration of common sense and alcohol? I've three-quarters of an hour before class. A.
