Goodness, it's been ages since I've used this book to record the things I'm doing. Of course, that's partly because many of those things must be obscured from public knowledge in the interests of our collective security, but it's also because I am devoting myself so fully to the Auror programme that I simply haven't time to write. And, oh, it is every bit as intense and consuming and fascinating and inspiring as I dreamed it would be! I've never felt so invested or so invigorated, ever!
And, of course, we've all recommitted ourselves to work even harder since McLaggen was given the boot. We all agree that the cohort is stronger now we're free of him. His poor attitude did drag at everyone. But onwards and upwards, as Forney put it.
An Announcement of No Small Note:
Today I've got another topic altogether. I've something very exciting to announce so my friends at Hogwarts can share in the anticipation: this week certain Hogwarts sixth and seventh years will be receiving invitations to join St Mungo's Junior Auxiliary at its second annual Christmas luncheon, which will be held on Monday, 20 December. The seventh years know who they are, but the sixth years may anticipate the pleasure of being selected for this special honour. St Mungo's is a crucial institution in Our Lord's realm, and it is our duty as Our Lord's most loyal and capable subjects to support its mission with our contributions of time, creativity, and resources.
So, sixth years: watch this week's owl post for your invitation! My brother, Orion, and his co-chair, Flora Dames, will be arranging an informational meeting before the end of term to introduce new members to the organisation's goals and to begin planning this year's projects.
I look forward to welcoming those who've been selected at the luncheon.
Oh, and Orion: thank you for your notes on the prospects. I think you'll be pleased with our list when you see the selections. (You'll know what I mean.)
