Cousin Flora,
I think the main concern is your ability to get into Hogsmeade, and my ability to get out of it. Perhaps the Ministry will carve a path through the Forbidden Forest and require us students to walk in by way of skirting around the fog? It sounds foolhardy, but preferable to never attending at all.
Perhaps we should devise our own plan to address the issue? After all, so long as we can get ourselves to the castle, they must sort us, mustn’t they?
Still alive, mostly,
Rex
