Semi-Private: Wednesday Transfiguration with sixth years/Owl to Lupin
Things have been quite hectic lately. Students have been out because of illness and or injury, as well as personal reasons. It's been quite the endeavor, attempting to get them all caught up after classes.
I haven't quite been myself lately, and I'm not sure if anyone has noticed or not. I'm sure that someone must've thought something was wrong at lunch today. It's quite hard to explain, really. It's as if I'm, well, lonely. I'm one of the "older" staff members, if you will, and one of the few female teachers. I feel quite alone sometimes. I go through each day, teaching Transfiguration, helping my students, assisting other professors, things for the Order, and doing my duties as headmistress, and it keeps me busy. But in between all that, and at night (like this) when I'm by myself, I reflect on the day's events. And I find that, no matter how busy the day seems to be, I always find myself feeling lonely. It's rare that anyone comes to me for advice or help anymore, except for Transfiguration. I'd like to be a help in some other way...I don't know if that's possible, but I can certainly try.
The staff has probably already noticed this...I'm just surprised that no one has said anything.
If any of my students have noticed this, I apologize in advance. I don't mean to affect you in any way. If there is anything I can assist you with, whether it be Transfiguration or personal doings, please let me know.
Sleep well, everyone. Good night.
By the way...Gryffindor, please, please, do your best to win the match this weekend. I could really use a victory to bring my spirits up.

I've put off writing Dumbledore in hopes to hear from another member of the Order, but since I haven't, I'll just have to address the issue myself. I'll write Dumbledore first, and then, Tonks, most likely. If you have anything you need to put in a note to them, let me know, and I'll send it off with my letters.
I was wondering, too, if you had any time to talk. I've got something going on that I've found difficult to deal with, and I'm hoping you can help me out. Perhaps after dinner this evening? Let me know, either in an owl or at dinner. We can either meet in my office or yours, I'm fine with either one.
