Hey. I'm sort of stuck here all day. My team has to rescue me. It's okay, but I can tell the MLE person who's supposed to watch me is way bored. I don't think he's said anything at all since he got here.

Anyways. The stuff we've been doing has been good, mostly, and we're learning all sorts of stuff. We're even getting a jump start on apparation training, which is sort of ace.

Hope your mum isn't driving you too nutters.

They found me.

And yeah, better keep an eye out. Kids think they can get away with anything when they're that age.

You'll do fine.

Do you want to do any training when I get back? To get ready for it?

I'm not supposed to be flying yet. I've poked around at kiddie brooms, but none of them will take my weight. I think I'd be too bloody tempted to fly for real if the broom weren't locked down. They're worried about seizures or "sudden magical convulsions" brought on by moving too rapidly through "magical variances" in particular ley lines and they want to do some stress tests to make sure it won't happen before I fly again. As I don't want fall off my broom while twitching I'm following their advice.

I'm planning to stay up and make sure he's not doing anything stupid the night before and I'm planning to order ask Jenni to get up extra early to make sure he doesn't sneak out then. She'll wake me if he's too determined and won't listen to her. I don't want to worry Mum, she thinks the shopping took care of it. I think he used it to get his 'Hogwarts supplies' and is now biding his time.
