Pomona,
It seems you're not the only one having trouble keeping up with correspondence. I'm sorry to leave this reply so late, but settling into two new positions at once, even as part of team, took more time than I expected. The Gryffindor first and second years in particular have needed extra reassurance, what with everything that's been happening. Still, it's good to be working useful teaching again, despite all that's happened.
Have you been a witness to any of these strange
apparitions of the Headmaster? I haven't seen him myself, but one of the younger students mentioned it to me. I thought she was only seeing things until Minerva posted that notice.
