Auri, dear, I'm sorry to write at the last moment, but I seem to have had something off at lunch and am feeling quite poorly now. Well, I suspect the worst has passed, but I don't think I ought to try Apparating.

How were your other visits this week? The young ladies were charming, I'm sure. And how did you manage with the flying?

Do take care of yourself. (And I can't help thinking of two years ago: you will tell someone if you keep feeling poorly, please?)

I'd completely lost track of time, though, so it's helpful you wrote. I've been reading the book you sent Friday. There's rather a lot of it, I'm still in that part about the cave, though I think most of the way through that bit.

The other visits - well enough? Mostly about German and languages and unreasonable demands of academic mentors with the young women. Pansy has such a knack for keeping conversation going. Vastly undervalued skill until you need it, really.

The broom was a bit iffy at first. I kept overcorrecting, and that never helps. Harry and Cedric were so very patient, and when I got myself sorted out, we managed a bit of actual flying. Other than that, Tosha and I talked a bit more about some of his ideas, Wednesday. Not so much talking with people either Thursday or Friday, but some looking at stars (Dai) and walking (Dad), which wasn't bad.
