This morning Madam Pomfrey figured out that the badge she gave me for the YPL sash ‘to be my best, most alert, most loyal self’ was spelled to force me to pay full attention to anyone talking around me. It didn’t directly make me as grumpy as I have been since, but the feeling of loss of control had that effect. I apologise for my behaviour these last few days.

Madam Pomfrey says she will inform Deputy Headmistress Vector and Headmistress McGonagall when she returns. We think she has neutralised the spell, but I will continue to wear the pin as a reminder.

I'm quite sure Andie'll forgive you - she was far more puzzled than upset, I think.

Honestly, on the news, I've been trying to figure that out.

Obviously, I've been wanting to know what happens, and if it affects Raz, or other people I know. And the devastation's horrible. (And, as a friend someone a friend reminded me yesterday, all those people have friends and families.) And I had heard about Finnigan, too.

But at the same time, when there's not much we here can do, I'm not sure that being constantly at the wireless is helpful either. You might have a far better balance than I've managed.

On the last, watch how someone might take that, mm? More seriously, my preferred choices are either a long walk round the lake if it's light out, or going up and down the astronomy tower stairs until I'm worn out if it's not. (Nice predictable straight climb, unlike the main castle.) You're welcome to a bit of stair if it helps, though I'm hoping I won't need it myself tonight.

I didn't think you'd meant anything by it, no worries (just some people make much of the oddest things.)

Look - not up for duelling work myself right now, but if you want space or someone to supervise (if I can wrangle the time) I'm glad to. And as I said, the stairs are yours if you want them. (Not the most exciting option, but effective enough.) As for a walk - well, I did it Tuesday at a stiff pace, about two thirds my usual time, and it helped.

I miss the hills near where I grew up, really. Lovely balance of exertion and nice views.
