[alt_linus]

Everything is fine, here, Professor. The earthquake, if that is what it was, was of no great moment, as it were.

Continuing apace with readings.

Pardon blots on page; it seems to be snowing.

[alt_sinistra]

All reports are useful, thanks.

What's the biggest thing you saw move, in the quake?

Colours are gorgeous.

Want readings on overall magical load, particularly.

[alt_linus]

Biggest thing I saw move? Abandoned Muggle building nearby. It went up, came down, and is rather sagging now, but I cannot tell if it is sagging more than it was previously. Trees nearby whipped about a bit, but nothing seems out of place.

The

Pardon. All of the birds in the area are flying about and they seem very displeased.

It's still snowing, but now it is snowing up.

[alt_sinistra]

Finish the readings, and get back to Hogwarts, please.

This was more obvious than I was hoping for, and they may check the area nearby.

[alt_linus]

Readings finished, no time to run confirmations and checks, as the stone is now being visited by what look like rather unpleasant people.

Returning as ordered.

[alt_sinistra]

Thank you. I'd appreciate readings from the Hogwarts grounds when you catch your breath.

It'll be a bit before I have more, likely.

[alt_linus]

I have returned and am proceeding. Readings from the grounds indicate a general heightened level of magical energies, though not at the levels of those at Peterhead, which were at the top of the charts.

The squid seems to be... dancing?

[alt_sinistra]

Odd efffects entirely not on my list of things to anticipate.

Squid dancing, I mean.

[alt_linus]

It is unlikely anyone would or could anticipate it, Professor. It is, pardon my language, the damndest thing. (Yes, the American Witches books do seem to have affected my vocabulary.)

It looks HAPPY.

Perhaps it likes the colours. They really are quite spectacular. They do not seem to be tapering off, either.

Dear me. The squid is humming.

I did not know they could do that.

[alt_sinistra]

As you can, I'd appreciate the full benchmark sequence I showed you. (Alaston's, then Renwick's.)

Measurements of flow and strength are still running higher than expected here, but appear stable.
