The party's just wonderful so far. The illusionist was quite amusing. I particularly liked his interpretation of the invention of Apparation. And I had the great luck to be standing by Mr Deller, who provided a bit of context for us about early Hogwarts. He's got quite a talent for storytelling.

Professor Siz, I absolutely love what you've done with Spence. It's just beautiful.

How're you doing, then?

If you want some company, Ced and I are taking a turn by the buffet.

Looks like Harry could use some distracting, too, so we might head over to him and try to get him to smile a bit.

What on earth has got into Teddy?

He's being quiet, polite, friendly, and ... inoffensive.

Did you know that Siz invited about a dozen Healers? If anyone suddenly gets ill, they won't have to go far to find help.

Maybe I should ask Draco to stay far away from them? Because they might notice Padma.

Siz introduced me to two of them, although the one I'm finding most interesting to listen to is Healer Kosta. He's a specialist in Dark Curses and treated both Raz and Professor Dolohov.

Thank you so much - and I hope you had an excellent evening.

It's a pleasure to get to use some of that space to its full potential for once. I can really only take much credit for some changes to the library and the addition of the duelling salon. Much of the rest just is letting the good bones of the original house show to their best advantage (very magnificent and showy bones, mind.)

Perhaps sometime I can show you more of the details - there's a room we closed off for the party that's one of my favourites, for example. I admit I spend most of my time when we're at Spence there, if I'm not in our private rooms, the library, or sometimes the kitchen.

I'm also delighted you enjoyed Sulo Blandis's work. I particularly liked how he dug down to find something other than the same old stories we've all heard dozens of times. (Granted, he emigrated a couple of years ago, and I suppose there's a freshness of perspective that comes with that.)
