Pomona assures me that by the end of this month the Mandrakes will be ready for harvesting. The brewing itself should not take long at all.
I am going to miss having Miss Granger here to help me. (And the fact that she and Mr Boot are, in fact, right here where I must care for them makes it all the worse.) We'd reduced her hours at Mr Marvolo's request so he could escort her here and collect her again. He did appreciate the dangers to her in this castle, and I believe he will miss her intensely while she's in this state. I don't mean only because he will miss having her do for him, though I'm certain he will find his life less easy without her, but he does seem to view her as a bit more than merely a servant. Not a confidant, precisely, but a resource. I'm judging merely on what I observe and on what I am able to read between the lines in her conversations with me.

Are you keeping well, Frank? And safe?
