Well, exams are nearly over, and I have survived. (Let us hope I have not now jinxed us.) Your advice on formulating my exams for easy marking has once again proven invaluable: I have for the most part managed to mark as I go no matter how gruelling the students themselves found the questions. (If we've a moment free before end of term, remind me to show you the collection I am keeping of some of the more ... creative ... answers; many of them do not require familiarity with the subject to spot the hilarity.)
Regarding gifts, meanwhile: the bulk of your present is rather unwieldy. I would rather not haul it along with us to the get-together on Wednesday next (and you would likely rather not have to haul it home afterward) -- if you are amenable to an early exchange, I will ask the house-elves to bring it up to your tower Friday evening in anticipation of the midwinter vigil. (For which, yes, I am still interested in joining you, if my invitation still stands.)

Since we have not had a chance to compare our holiday schedules: are you and Raz attending the Coopers' soirée on the 27th? I will assume you'll be at the St M's gala on the 29th, and of course New Years' Eve at Buckingham. (As for me, I am simply looking forward to the chance to sleep in for two weeks -- should my blasted circadian rhythm do me the kindness of refraining from waking me before sunrise again.)
Yours,
