Have to say I'm feeling like a million galleons compared to last week. Being able to teach again, be productive, makes a world of difference. And you know, now that I've had overnight to think on it, the newts aren't as poorly off as I had braced myself for. Cedric and Harry really did make a difference- so did the rest of the kids.

Still, we've a long ways to go in an extremely short amount of time.

How are you, love?

Much as we can't really trust that Dolly didn't leave behind any other nasty surprises to trip us up, I don't think we should let that keep us from moving forward. What are your thoughts?

I'd worried

I'm glad, love. And so glad they have you back.

Can I do anything to help? (Either your newts or the owls lot, that is.) Supervise, or do things so you have more time to work with them, or .. whatever. My lot are all in decent shape, because there wasn't so much Madam Pinkness could interfere with. (Well, except a couple, but more time with me mostly isn't the helpful thing there.)

Of course I'd like to move forward. Before anything else happens Tallie and I talked a bit about what we'd need to set in motion, once we could. We've got some ideas (actually, we have a whole lot of very detailed lists) but some of it depends on when we can book in at the Guildhall again, or if we have to find somewhere else or what.

And me - honestly, I'm still not quite sure? The last week has just been. Well.

Right, love. A little preliminary info, and we can talk more as we manage to get hold of various family.

Tallie checked with the Guildhall, and the only date they can give us between now and sometime in August is the first of June - apparently, they have major renovations planned this summer. She’s checking on a number of the sites we’d looked at and discarded for various reasons, and will have more in the next day or two. (She’s also heard of a good handful of summer weddings that it would probably be kinder not to conflict with - she’s working up a complete list of dates.)

She does think we could make June first work if we wanted. It’d be tight (and we’d need to decide in the next few days to get invites out in time), but I could sit down with her on Tuesday properly and work out the rest of the details.

We can talk more tonight or tomorrow, anyway. (Just writing that makes me grin. Actually, it makes me dance around my office in an extremely undignified fashion.)
