Ad Astra Per Aspera!

[alt_linus]

The clarion call of scholarly endeavour has sounded! Let all who would meet tonight's exam in a state of full preparation join us now in Astronomy Tower for an hour of revising centred on Arithmancy for Astronomers!

We shall be running through a few simple problem sets just to relax a bit before the exam. Come join the fun! Those of you who have been receiving a bit of extra help are especially encouraged -- nay, positively urged! -- to attend. We don't want to let Professor Sinistra down, do we?

Come up and prepare to shine!

I'll be there soon, darling!

I am deeply concerned that some of you are missing some very important setting-up exercises, as it were, for the exam we are about to take in less than one hour. One doesn't go barreling out onto the Quidditch pitch without doing one's warm-ups, after all. In fact, I have analysis that strongly indicates that players who skimp on warm-ups do not reach higher than ten percent above their average scores, at most, in that particular match. Naturally, this is more of a concern for some than others. Jones, I am looking at you. Also Summers, Capper, and Bundy.

Honestly, one would expect people to avail themselves of every advantage possible. Then, too, exams are so much more fun when one is properly warmed up!

I will be there as soon as I can. But it might be a while. Because I have to catch my cat. Because he is being very naughty. And Fang can run very fast. So it might be a while.

Jones, honestly. Do try to focus. Just once, for the novelty of it, perhaps?

Private Message to Padma

Padma, if by chance you are wending your way through these hallowed halls on the way to Astronomy Tower, could you perhaps keep an eye out for the students named above, and if they've been led astray by hinkypunks or the like, please extricate them from whatever bog they may have fallen into and bring them along with you? I should take it as a great kindness if you could.

Well, I still say you're going to way too much trouble for a few people who should be able to pull their own weight.

But fine.

Well, those of us who revised are in top form and ready for an exam, once Professor Siz has had me re-set the room and get the projection stones in place and so forth.

As for the rest of you, well. On your own heads be it.
