Oh, dear. Not too obvious, I hope, that my evening had been more celebration than work?
Let me talk to Raz, and see what his plans are like. I'm guessing sometime Saturday, given your Sunday will be full of tryouts? (I'll likely even come out and watch - you and Raz have been quite the influence.) Though thinking through, I suspect he'll want to watch the Slytherins, and I'll want to sleep in in the morning, so perhaps getting him as well won't work this week.
Broom companies would be an excellent thing to consider - I'm sure Raz can help with a connection or two there, at least for someone to talk to. You met Gilly Chadwick last year, right? She's even less interested in Quidditch than I had been, but she does know a few of the broom designers because the research side overlaps with some of her interests. I'll ask her when I see her Tuesday.
Right. I should get ready to face you lot in class, shouldn't I? We're going to get started talking about topics for your year's research, plus there's a couple of articles from the most recent journal I want to divvy up and have you all report on in groups in a week or two. A very interesting one on that royal stars project, one on locational magics and precession, and one on some asteroid observations. It'll give you an idea of what a published report looks like, too.
