You're quite right about the parallels to the CCF issue. I rather wish we'd gotten more details out of her on Monday about what actually happened there, but she was being tight-lipped about it.
Just do be attentive. And I know Sirius will keep a most watchful eye, but I very much mislike what can go wrong if someone has that much chance to prepare.
As to the rest, I did send Frank off with seedlings, and they should do well. Everything else is well enough, though I've escaped to my rooms - that Dolores came in, about two hours ago. She's insisting she has to look at what rooms are to be hers, now, without so much as a "Is it convenient?" and I caught her mentioning that she couldn't imagine where Aurora had gotten to, as she'd hoped to catch up with her in New London this morning.
On the whole, making my excuses and disappearing seemed the safest. (Though I do wonder where Aurora got to. Her parents, perhaps, since last I heard, she wasn't joining Rabastan and the Malfoys until sometime this evening or tomorrow morning.)
I'll see if I can get hold of Minerva. But between Dolores and the new Dark Arts instructor, it may be a few days. (On the latter, I know nothing more than you might have glimpsed in Lucius Malfoy's journal. I'm wondering if Aurora might find out more this weekend.)
