Private Message to Professor Sinistra

Professor,

I'm frightfully sorry, but I'm feeling under the weather, and Gran wants me to stay home today, so I won't be able to attend your salon. It's nothing a bit of Pepper-up and rest won't cure, but I am not at my best, and Gran is putting her foot down, and if you've ever met her, you'd know that once she's made up her mind on something, it's best to not put up a fight.

I was very much looking forward to coming as it sounded quite interesting, and like such a wonderful opportunity. Will there be other meetings this summer?

I hope you and Professor Lestrange had a good Easter weekend.

Sincerely,

Evelyn Longbottom

Miss Longbottom -

Sorry to hear you're doing poorly. I certainly wouldn't dream of disagreeing with your Gran - she has quite the reputation in some circles.

We are talking about a few more events of this kind, for a general audience, maybe one this summer and then more next school year. There'll be the usual Guild lectures at the summer Guild hall, too, but those are much more technical.

That said, if you were interested, at least one of the planned projects is something that you might be able to enjoy, with a bit of reading about things you won't have covered in class yet. (It's looking at observations of the planetary moons.)

We did have a pleasant weekend, thank you, and I hope you and your gran and your brother had the same.

A.S.
