Not much to report for today.
I spoke with Minerva this morning about the annual ball but she didn't say much, sensing my dislike of the entire idea. I apologised for my behaviour last night, and she seemed to accept it.
It rained heavily for most of the day and I wasn't expecting anyone to be out but as I looked from the window this evening I saw someone flying past. The speed was astronomical. I recognised the broom to be the new Firebolt, but I couldn't make out the figure from this distance through the rain. They must be adamant on catching their death it was so cold and wet.
Another figure hurried out to meet them as they landed and as she shook the water out of her hair I recognised her as Athena. I guessed the other figure draping his arm and coat around her was Lupin. They hurried back into the castle.
I have an order for ten new copper cauldrons tomorrow so I must be up early to get the order from Diagon alley. The annual ball is on Saturday. I am dreading it.
