I forgot to show you the completely nift set of inks that Professor Siz gave me for my birthday. Multiple colours, and all made so as to facilitate the smooth operation of certain indexing charms. I'll bring them to the Corner for show-and-tell, shall I?

You're not still put out about the Quidditch try-out thing, are you? I really did trust that I was quite safe from actually being picked, you know; it was truly research, as I mentioned. And frankly, it might also have been serendipitously useful to appear in a humorous light (as when Lovegood knocked my hat off) and prove a fellow of good nature, able to laugh at one's own predicaments -- it could set the firsties at ease, eh what? In any case, not too much harm done, I hope.
