alt_severusI am at liberty the first week of the upcoming holiday. I had thought to use that time to work on analysing the potion sample you obtained; however, further consideration causes me to admit doing so at the school would be extremely unwise, and my laboratories here barely afford such a title. (As well, if I remain in residence, I have no doubt Dolores Umbridge would lay claim to whatever of my time I did not defend vigorously, holiday or no.)
You have previously invited me to Moddey Dhoo several times. While I still believe the knowledge of the sanctuary's secret should not be spread indiscriminately, I find I must throw myself upon your hospitality, should your potions master in residence not object to sharing his laboratory space.
I would be willing to tutor the children — both in Potions and in continuing their Occlumency lessons in a slightly less fraught environment — in return, save that if lessons are to be held at Black's hideaway, I doubt that would be wise. While I am willing to declare détente in our perpetual tensions to the best of my ability and in service to our goals, I do not imagine the same courtesy would be returned, and I cannot guarantee my ability to retain my composure in the face of the endless provocation of Black and his harem.
