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'll help you talk to half of that half, no worries.

I can't say that anything has turned up, exactly, but I'll let you know if it does. Our current concern is that Dolly had someone helping her manipulate things in just the right way.

And I'm not worried about kittens. Bring them to Spence, if you want! Though on second thought, they might get lost and we'd never see them again.

You're a wonder. I've said that before, but it's still true. (You do know how many men apparently run as far away from planning these things as they can?)

The whole thing feels so dreadfully unfinished. Madam Pinkness, I mean. But I suppose that's life, and we'll just have to keep our eyes open and move on. And really, I refuse to let her steal any more of the time we could be doing much more enjoyable things with.

There are lots of things I hate about the past months, love. (This spring, worse than last spring, in so many ways, and how is that even possible?) What she did to students and classes and everything she touched. But the thing I can't let go of is losing time with you.

Which is to say - should I come down tonight or would you rather not, given your classes tomorrow? And Tosha's said he assumes we'll have other plans tomorrow before I teach. I just miss being in the same room, and both of us working, and all the stupid student stories while marking, nearly as much as everything else.

(I will, however, leave the kittens in my office. One thing at a time.)
