Mentioned that to Desai. (Did not repeat your evaluation of her lessons, by the way.) Will remind Toshenka when he's not playing host to the masses. I'll see if I can't arrange several Saturdays or Sundays with you, training. At the very least, you've a Hogsmeade day in October, don't you? Plan to spend that with me.

Your father's facts and artefacts were well worth the trip. Particularly that treacherous shadow caster.
