Private Message to A Dolohov

Quiet morning here after a remarkably quiet Fifth of November.

Broome's just called to enquire whether we'd be needing the usual appointment to brief Our Lord on chaos and calamity. Assured him we would not be providing him with Court theatrics today. Expect to be summoned to report, anyway, as camp and civil enforcement success is not what He will have anticipated.

Trust you're having a quieter week than last?

When He asks, shall I tell him you are available or stretched too thin for the week's tutoring in Inferi management?

Up to my arse in alligators and frantically paddling to drain the swamp, actually. Mostly fallout due to the Halloween festivities. Half the children are still in vapours and the other half are looking to express their incoherent anger, with me in the middle trying to figure out the best way to keep them all from spreading hysteria or talking each other into doing something that will get someone killed. It has been one of those weeks.

I'm glad your Bonfire Night was quieter than it could have been, though. One of us ought at least have some peace and quiet.

I do not want to anger Him when His temper is so uncertain. I will make time, on Saturday at least if nothing more.

Hysteria can't be allowed to take root. Smack sense into them. Before bad goes to worse.

Could come for supper if that would help quell idiocy.

Perhaps in a few days -- one does not wish to appear as though one needs reinforcements to handle matters of student discipline, after all.

A holiday would be nice, however. I suppose it is a pity after all that you didn't have a more energetic Bonfire Night; it might have been a pleasant diversion to invite myself along on the cleanup. Do keep me in mind if something comes up.
