My goodness, the anticipation must be settling in. I can't remember which was worse at the time, NEWTs or the debut. Certainly for you young ladies it must be a touch division for your attention. Fortunately I only had to focus on exams.

I am terribly busy, I do apologize. I should write more often. This promotion has me elbow deep in paperwork more often than anything else, so the last thing I'm prepared to do at the end of the day is pick up a quill. However I will endeavor to be more faithful in writing.

I attended the dueling tournament, if that's what you mean? Was quite exciting, even if the results were to be expected. Mr. Faustus Prewett took the whole shebang, which is of course no surprise. I didn't see any major injuries though tended a couple minor ones myself for friends who competed.

I rather enjoyed Creatures as a class, do let me know if you need any help.
