We do, yes. There aren't quite as many truly little ones as we usually have -- they're either with their mums in Bedford or the other free areas, or still waiting to be found out.
You had a wonderful rapport with our school ages, I'm sure they'd love to have you come more regularly if possible. We've such a limited pool of expertise, really; Jacinda specialised in Magical Creatures, Frank and I in Defence, and Laura in Charms and Transfiguration, and the rest of it is whatever we can cobble together from our rusty memories of Hogwarts and old textbooks, with weekly visits from Sirius for Potions. (Besides which, our adventures with wards and portkeys alone have shown me first-hand just how very valuable your area of work is!)
Sarah has really come into her own in Sherwood -- her training has made her an invaluable member of our research team, and a great boon to Cecelia. And yes, Cecelia can be rather... opinionated. And protective of her daughter. As a fellow mum who's had to look on from a distance, I can sympathise.
I think it'd be good for Arista and Hector, and they certainly weren't protesting. It's clear that Dominic and Chloe loved them dearly, and they were accustomed to a fair bit of individual attention when they were growing up. There's only so much attention we can give, so that alone is precious and would be much appreciated, I'm sure.
