Happily, Madam Pomfrey has judged me recovered enough to return my journal, at least for a few moments per day. It seems I have missed a great deal in the past several weeks...

Students: I must apologise for the disruption to your studies. I will do my utmost to return to the classroom the moment our most esteemed Matron releases me from her care.

I have also received permission for limited visitors in the evenings, if I am able to keep my eyes open long enough. I will ask that priority for visits be given to NEWT students in need of my time, but would welcome company in general.

Private Message to Lyoushka and Barty

What in the name of Salazar has been going on while I've been unconscious?

I progress to the point where I'm actually awake for more than an hour a day only to discover that suddenly Dolores bloody Umbridge has taken over the castle, deposed Minerva, deposed Razzer, and is still alive? Tell me there are extenuating circumstances. And tell me someone has looked into whether she had any hand in my illness.

Bratishka,

It is beyond a relief to see your hand again.

We could tell you all but I fear it might send you back into a rage-induced torpor.

Or else that you might force yourself from your bed to put her out of our misery, and in the process relapse once more.

She moved with extraordinary alacrity. Truly, Toshenka, it's amazing someone so portly could execute a coup with such speed and efficiency. But thus far, no, there is no sign that she took an active part in your illness - though to be certain, she made full advantage of it when it occurred.

For the moment, Raz needs us to stay our hands, old friend. Moreover I believe that Our Lord has, as always, His own ineffable plan for allowing the toad to proceed in her pathway. Trust that when the time comes to end her - and end her, someone shall do - there shall be no shortage of us queuing for the privilege.

Oh Professor Dolohov it is SO GOOD to see you recovered a bit.

I look forward to your return to the classroom once Madam Pomfrey thinks you're up to it.

Private message to Tosha

Oh, Tosha.

Tell me when you'd like to see me.

Re: Private message to Tosha

[alt_antonin]

Whenever I am awake tomorrow I would delight in the pleasure of your company.

And your observations about what I've missed, of course.

Re: Private message to Tosha

Let me know, and I will come right down.

(You needn't worry about interrupting my time with Raz: Madam Umbridge thinks it sets a poor example for the students, and for the moment, patience and caution seem highly sensible. If extremely tedious. You need more data, though. Much more data.)

Also, Mr Moon - well. He has a great deal to ask you, when you're up to it.

It is so very good to hear from you. Very very very very good.

Sir,

I have continued to work on the tasks you assigned me during detentions, and stand ready to fulfill the rest of my deserved penances when you are sufficiently recuperated and have the time for such minor considerations.

[alt_neville]

I know that I had a few more, um, sessions due with you when you became ill, sir. I can't imagine that you want to worry about them while you are still recovering, but when you are better, please let me know when you want them resumed.

[alt_harry]

I know you're going to have to limit your visitors, sir, and that your rest is important. But I was wondering if we could talk?

I've been taking notes after our study sessions of the things people are finding hard to do, or have questions about that we couldn't sort out on our own.
