I had heard some rumblings amongst the students, but as they are often my only source of information it is hard to take some things seriously. I never know what to believe from them. I must admit, that's a new one, even for an all-magical town, at least I assume it was in Hogsmeade? I sometimes wonder if the town itself is cursed with everything that has happened.

It was quite the adventure growing up with Honeyduke, never a dull moment. I'm sure the children appreciate the ingenuity, good for their imaginations if you ask me. Creativity can be found in the most interesting of places.

Yes, end of May, though I usually spend a week into June cleaning up the greenhouses for easy start up in September. Takes quite a bit of work to get everything back to square one. The year is going just fine, though tensions are starting to rise as everyone remembers that exams will be coming up in a few short weeks. There haven't been any mishaps with magical creatures in a long while, which is always a bonus. I never thought I would long for dull moments, but the chaos of the beginning of the year is another beast entirely. I will let you know more securely when I'm free.
