I wouldn't use this as a yardstick of your ability, not at all. This year has been hell to begin with, and I'm certainly asking far too much of you in your first year in the classroom -- which you have, for the most part, been handling magnificently. (It really isn't fair of me to have appointed you Head of House in the first place in your first year teaching, let alone with Mr Marvolo -- who manages to be both the rock and the hard place at once -- involved; that you have managed thus far is to your credit.)
I am so very sorry, my dear; I never thought I would wind up having to pile so much onto your shoulders. I am hoping we will have better solutions for next year, but it's likely things will be uncertain for at least another year or two. With so much staff turnover at once it's only to be expected.
Though I am certainly praying next year will be quieter. At least it will lack Mr Marvolo and his unique outlook on the world.
