alt_poppyReporting in to tell you all that you may stand down from fussing over me. I am perfectly well.
I've survived poisoning, harassment, boredom, the physical duress of trekking at high altitude over challenging terrain, and have endured sleeping rough in variable conditions controlled by the station. (My results have proven without doubt that it needn't be actually freezing to induce hypothermic symptoms, but that those set in faster and more severely the colder it gets--which one wouldn't have thought needed investigation, but they are most welcome to my report if it will please them to accept it and release me from this tedious course.)
I have several stops to make after leaving here and no intention of sharing my itinerary with anyone but you all. I've learned my lesson, thank you.
Alice. Could I be of help if I were to make a stop at Moddey Dhoo? I could be there for a couple of days. Are there supplies you need that I could pick up before coming?
I've written Charlie to see if he could find a way to get me some fresh dragon's blood. My stocks of Cinnabaris Vitalis have gone beyond their date and will need replacing. I haven't heard from him yet, but I know it's no easy favour for him to manage.
Hope the rest of you are well and that I see some of you soon!
Sirius. Thanks are not enough to repay your efforts on my behalf. Are you still hereabouts? Perhaps I could buy you a drink at the Giant's Cloak this evening?

Re: Order Only Private Message to Pomona Sprout
Date: 2012-08-25 08:28 pm (UTC)I'll see what I can do about getting back before the weekend. That rather depends on whether I go to Moddey Dhoo.
So there's a Dark Arts appointment at last. I confess I hoped Minerva might contrive to 'fumble' the process so we could let the post go unfilled. Too much to hope, I know. Who is it to be, then?

Date: 2012-08-25 09:43 pm (UTC)Though I notice you have not actually answered the question about how you're feeling.
And there is - I don't know if you saw Lucius Malfoy's journal, but he said, and I quote: "Minerva, since you have been incapable of bringing to the Board of Governors an acceptable candidate to undertake instruction in Dark Arts, Our Lord has seen fit to resolve the vacancy on your behalf." Apparently with some curricular changes as well, which I do not like.
But no news yet on who that might be. Though I'm sure there are some guesses, and perhaps Aurora may have news from her holiday. Though I've not heard from her since Monday except for that note about the test results.
