Ah, Antosha. I did stop up in hopes of catching you. I've two items of concern that I wanted to discuss, and it's never been my practice to expect the Head of School to come at my summons (short of a true emergency of some sort). I suppose it's too late to come up now. Perhaps you'd have a convenient hour at some point over the weekend?
I'm sorry, I'm not trying to be mysterious. The first is simply to alert you to the fact I'm still seeing cases of Pustule Pox; every Autumn it arrives along with one or two of the children, but the outbreaks are usually easily contained, and I rarely see a new case after the second week. I've alerted Heads of House and the Prefects that I've admitted four fresh cases in the past two days and have another suspect here, waiting to see if her fever will be followed by the usual rashes and blisters. It's nothing deadly, though the rare case goes to meningitis, and that can be serious. I tell you only so you'll know, should a parent contact you or should it otherwise become a matter of greater concern.
The second issue is a bit more delicate, and involves a new member of staff, so I'd hoped to speak rather than write about it, if you see. I've cared for several students this week unable to sleep because of anxiety about one course in particular, so again, it seems best if you are aware of the matter, whether there's need of intervention on your part or not.
Let me know if I might catch you this weekend. And please don't concern yourself for my having failed in my first attempt. I was pleased to have the opportunity to catch up with Mr Diggory and to satisfy my curiosity about his health and career prospects.
