Hey Doc,
Um, I know your busy with finals and all, but all hell broke loose here over the weekend, and I think I really need to see you before Saturday. I had to use magic to kill Jamie's evil clones (I'll explain the whole story in person, it's easier that way), and I'm worried about what that means for me. It's not like I had any choice, the bloody things melted when you knocked them out any way, and they were putting people in danger, but you know this stuff better than I do.
There's also a certain Orb of Fortis burning a hole in my pocket, so to speak. I've been distracting myself helping out, but I'm not sure what'll happen if I let myself stop.

Re: House call?
Date: 2004-05-26 01:08 am (UTC)Fortunately my students are a conscientious group and have gotten all their assignments in and I have marked most of them. I have appointments with a PhD students all day tomorrow, but I will ensure my schedule is clear on Thursday afternoon for a visit to the school.
I appreciate your coming to me in this matter. I am sure there will be no lasting karmic harm, but I will need to know the spells you used and the circumstances in which you used them - you can tell me all about when I see you. I was intending to have a talk with you any way about the amount of magic you have been using lately and the physical ramifications and this provides me with the perfect opportunity.
As for the Orb... I trust you, and you have shown remarkable restraint so far. However, you have been under a lot of pressure, and should the temptation prove too much, I hope you will go to Dr MacTaggart or Mr Wisdom and ask them to keep it until my visit.
Your grammatical errors indicate your tiredness. Go to bed, child, and I will see you Thursday afternoon.
Strange.
