More than I'd like, but less than it could be. I keep Council business and Hogwarts business separate, at least, and the few times I've pressed him into service for the former it has been with as little information as possible.
I'm more concerned on his behalf. He's been recovering, but he's still not at full strength. If they treat him poorly --
Well. For all that British culture concentrates upon the debt of someone whose life has been saved, to the person who did the saving, my upbringing adds the obligation the other way around, as well: once you save someone's life, you are responsible for safeguarding it in the future. If they have hurt him, or if they refuse to accept he does not know anything more useful to them, it will go exceptionally badly for them once I track them down.
I have some ideas for how we can avoid having the entire student population in hysterics. At least it was not Our Lord's action this time; that gives me much more leeway.
I am counting on it. And I appreciate your support, immensely; I am so glad you agreed to come back to Hogwarts again.
(Oh, Salazar's scrotum, we're going to need to hire for those positions as soon as possible to minimise disruption to the students' education. I don't suppose you know anyone who'd suit.)
At least the timing is fortuitous; it's almost time to send the children home for the holidays. So at least you'll have a few weeks to consider candidates without anyone falling behind.
Yes, that is the one small bright spot in all this mess. Fractional though it might be.
Let me know who you have in mind. I can appeal to St M's for names to consider for Matron, and the Astronomer's Guild for Astronomy, but Transfiguration and Herbology lack a centralised body; any leads will help.
