Bloody Paperwork
Well, I once again find myself with free time, so I will take the opportunity to write in this again. I cannot imagine exactly how Albus ever was able to do all of this before the year started, except for the fact that I know he delegated half of it to me! Lousy old...

Anyway, I feel terrible that I haven't been keeping up. However, there really is far too much for me to be doing this time of year. But I feel that there will then be far too much to do in September, and October, and etcetera. Damn; I need a life. Maybe I should do what Albus did, and just give all of the work to Professor Flitwick...unfortunately, I don't trust anyone else to do this. And it's made worse by the fact that Albus keeps calling me from my office with all sorts of hare-brained ideas about how to enhance the educational system. I've already spent three hours convincing him why his last idea wouldn't work. I won't give you details, except to say that its success depends entirely on the Gryffindors cooperating with the Slytherins. By Merlin, he's more of a meddler now then when he was alive!

And then there's all this bloody paperwork. I have half a mind to set it on fire and be done with it, except that doing that would only create more work. And Severus Snape, don't you dare quit! If I have to find a replacement before September, I'll go mad.

Congratulations on far too many things for me to keep track of, all. Molly, I think we really ought to meet up some day before I go nutters from a lack of human contact. Ergh...and now my paperwork calls. If anyone knows a spell to get paperwork done, call me.

...I need a competent secretary.

And a renewal to my subscription to the Quiddler. But that is an entirely different point.

And if anyone wants to see me, well, you'll need to swing by Ireland. I'm staying at the Old Rectory in Leitrim; ask for Minnie. And if anyone tries to get me drunk on sherry, I'm turning them into a mouse.

And eating them.

	Poor Minerva! I would offer my help, because I know how much you already did while you were Deputy Headmistress. Would have to come with the title though :-D Seriously, I have fairly broad shoulders, so if you think you can entrust me with some of that work, I'll help you. I hope you are getting some respite in Ireland and I'll see you in two weeks! Remus J. Lupin (Reply to this) (Thread)

I would suggest a quick quotes quill. I also could get George working on something useful. Something not dangerous. Also, who is teaching Transfiguration this year? You do have someone, right? And if you ever want to get away on a Saturday this fall, I'll set aside some prime tickets for you. Oliver Wood is quite certain that if he keeps up this rigorous practice schedule the Cannons will win the Cup this season. Either that, or we'll all drop over dead. I'm thinking about hosting a Christmas party this year as well. Harry and I just bought this lovely cottage out in the middle of nowhere. Ginny (Reply to this) (Thread)

Hey Professor, I just heard from Charlie. Did you really offer him Care of Magical Creatures? He said he was looking for something near London. It would be great to have him nearby. As for Transfiguration teacher, there is a certain dog I know who'd love to stay with his mate up at the castle and do more than just roam the halls looking for a professor to torture! He's got my vote. Will Professor Lupin be Head of Gryffindor? That would be great wouldn't it? A Marauder in Power! (Reply to this) (Thread)
