Thank you, Alice, for your understanding, as well as for the books. After Imperio is just as interesting (and useful, I think) as Terry promised me it would be. Thank you for agreeing to receive my reports on the curses going forward. With luck, we won't have many.

Kingsley and I had intended to talk about security last weekend, but the discussion on dark magic theory sort of pre-empted it (although that was certainly valuable, too.) I'll try to pull my thoughts on that together, and we can touch on that when I come on Thursday to discuss the goblins.
