I have personal good news. At the meeting this afternoon the Cannons offered me a part time practice squad job, effective July 1st. I'm not yet ready to play in games, but they clearly think I will be at some point and are going to some trouble to keep me contracted to them.

While I'm excited about this opportunity, it is part time and therefore quite low paying. Would you be interested having me continue my current job on a part time basis? Looking at their schedule I figure that I can work for about thirty hours a week. Some of that would be evening hours, but there's no reason I can't work on correspondence and various other matters then. While next year I won't have the same need to be close to what Hogwarts has to offer, I have enjoyed working for you this year and believe I would do so again next year.

I am very pleased to hear the news. Congratulations, my dear boy; I know how hard you have worked to overcome your disappointment.

I cannot imagine I will not continue to have use of your talents, and your assistance part-time would certainly save me from having to train someone else to my exacting standards. After all, you've only just learnt the library cataloguing system! I will take whatvever hours you can give me; keep me posted of your schedule and we can arrive at a mutually satisfactory arrangement.

Thank you. It's been nice to have some good news along with mess the rest of the week has been.

There will be some variation depending on their match schedule, but it will be two to four mornings a week. I'll be available afternoons and the other mornings.

I think I've learned more about you from your library cataloguing ... I guess I'll call it a system, than anything else.

I shall once more promise that when you have thirteen thousand books to wrangle and I am invited to help manage them, I duly swear I will use whatever shelving system you find most logical. (I continue to maintain that the system makes perfect sense and those of you who find it illogical simply lack the ability to recognise patterns when they are patently obvious.)

I've left you the last of the third and fourth year exams, by the way -- their marks need to be added into the master record, and then we will be done with them.
