Private Message to Professor Siz

[alt_cedric]

Siz,
I just messaged Professor Raz asking to discuss my post Hogwarts plans, specifically my Quidditch chances. I should also talk with you about other options if Quidditch isn’t in my stars. If we can talk around Astronomy observation tonight that would be great. Of course we also need to discuss my NEWT project as well.

However, that’s long term planning. We should also talk about helping our house adjust the the substantial scheduling difficulties thrust so suddenly upon us all between YPL and the Da Noble Arts classes and study sessions. Did you and Professor Sprout get a chance to talk about how to help the sett adjust to the scheduling difficulties? Didn't you have some ideas about the younger years particularly OWL students who hadn’t taken any of the classes previously? We may need to work individually with the most overwrought. Has Stebbins said anything to you about having to take Noble Arts yet?

How is Professor Dolohov doing?

I'll be up the Tower soon. You know I love the crisp clear nights.

We've discussed my short comings before. We'll just have to work around them again. I should be able to do enough Arithmancy if I have enough time to put something together for NEWTs.

I think we should give Stebbins the weekend to come forward and if he doesn't one of us should push the issue on Monday or Tuesday. I haven't heard from Midgen, I'll keep my ears open, and maybe ask Susan Bones if something does come to my attention.

Melinda and I seem to be doing fine. We worked together a good deal over the summer. The wedding was stressful for her and I covered when it was all too much.

Right. Inside for a mug of tea before the third years arrive. Do come up early, if you'd like and don't mind lending a hand - they're doing Auriga tonight, but half of them had forgotten how to focus their telescopes last week.

We had a really lovely evening, thanks. (Lots of very amusing stories, anyway.) We could have done a great deal worse for a new DA professor, truly.

As to your shortcomings - haven't I told you lot enough stories about my own issues with Arithmancy? (Not that I'm not good at the parts I use now - practice really does help, but my NEWTs were more nervewracking than I wanted, and I really did need the O.)

On Stebbins and Midgen, sounds good. I don't see the 5ths until Wednesday, so let me know if I need to grab him then? Or before, sometime before supper? And good on Melinda - I thought you might have worked something out, but I admit I was so distracted the last week or two of the CCF weeks you could probably have herded a dragon past my nose and I'd not have done more than blink.

Oh, here they come - I hear the first groans on the stairs. Later.

S.
