My thanks once again to Professor Lestrange for his capable help with our demonstration yesterday (and, to those students who were backing me in our match, I must apologise for disappointing!) And, of course, thanks go as well to Auror Crouch for his able assistance with the practicalities of warding, and to Councilmembers Malfoy, Lestrange, and Selwyn for joining us for the afternoon, and for lending their insight and experience to the post-battle discussion.

Students, if you have further questions that you do not wish to hold for class this week -- I know I always think of five things I should have asked once a discussion breaks up! -- I am happy to answer.

Antonin Nikolaevich;

Thank you for explaining. Professor Raz is a really great teacher, and it means a lot that he'd say that to you about me. I can see what you mean about how it's important to train with someone you trust. I know that he learned a lot from you, and trusts you.

The transmutation stuff technique sounds really interesting. I think I'd like to read more about it, if you've got any books to recommend. I'll definitely ask Professor Raz about working on it with him. And I'll have to think more about combinations, too, and try to sort out what would work best for me. Maybe we could talk about your take on it sometime. I look forward to learning more about this sort of thing in both your classes too.

Mr Marvolo,

You could do far worse for a teacher than Raz, indeed! He is not only a powerful and flexible wizard, but also excellent at conveying the essentials in a variety of forms and formats. I'm quite pleased you've been able to rely on him as a resource.

I will have a look through my library and see what references I can turn up for you -- I may not be able to do so by your class tomorrow, as I'm scurrying to put the final touches on the lecture for this week's theoretical class, but I will definitely be able to do so by Friday. I would be happy to discuss in person, as well -- you may stop by my open hours whenever you've the time and inclination, or if you'd like, I do have lunch in my office most days when I am not teaching straight through and would be happy to have you join me.

With regard,
Antonin
