(no subject)
I'm getting rather used to treating Kippenross as my own. It's going to be something of a shock to the system to hear the somnolent corridors reverberating to the sound of student voices once more. Not until next year, though, I'm relieved to say. There's far too much to be done to have the cackling masses underfoot and it is exceedingly frustrating to be told I can do little or none of it, for now. My eye is fully repaired, at long, long last and, although the scars will never completely fade, I never was much for vanity. Mirrors are for shaving, and for interesting magic designed to make Alastor Moody twitch. Are you reading this, Moody? I still owe you a thankyou for that concussion you gave me. I'm undecided as to how best to show my appreciation, but perhaps I'll surprise you.
Poppy, I owe you my thanks and possibly an apology. And you may as well make a copy of this and put it somewhere you can see it, because I'm not saying it twice.
You were right.
The mediwizards have been reluctant or unable to entirely remove the brace from my hand, but they have compromised by replacing the external struts with some sort of metallic... I neglected to find out the proper terminology. Sub-dermal something or other. The long and the short of it being that there is very little of the contraption on show above the skin, but I should avoid waving at anyone during thunderstorms, for fear of attracting lightning.
On the bright side, I'll be able to crush moonstones without a mortar and pestle, and on a clear day, I can stick my finger in my ear and pick up the WWN.
Locked to His Excellency, the Duke of Milan.
Valerius - I can see no sound reason why Toyah should not come to the school as you suggest. If it were up to me, I would add her to the register at once. However, Albus is still Headmaster for the time being, and the final decision is his. I will speak to him without delay. I feel certain I'll be able to make him see things my way.
By command of His Excellency indeed. You Italians. I should have known that no sooner had you arrived on your home territory, you'd be holding your balls and telling people what to do.
