There's some talk about a cohort splitting off and taking some time in Madagascar in mid-August. Carolina has expressed her interest and offered to take me with her if I wanted to go. I need to have a discussion with Harry (he's begrudgingly in charge) as it might separate us. He really seems to have taken to this venture, more than expected. He seems to be finding himself and getting more and more comfortable. I'm glad he came with me (and I think he is too). I'm hoping this will soften the conversation and he can confidently make a decision without having to owl home and ask for permission. Some of the more experienced magizoologists (including Carolina) are looking to go, I'll be in good hands and it'll be different from what we've been doing. I'm here, I want to make the most of it. I'll have to wait until Harry is in a good mood and ask him...
