Yes, I am a bad person for waiting so long to post this. Yes, I promised to write more.
No, I do not plan on doing anything to fix this problem. Other than finding a way to launder time so I can write more.

Letter #3
Greetings from Hogwarts! It's more difficult than we had previously imagined, getting people to agree to participate in our studies. The War is still very raw here; no one wants to think about social structures this soon after such a horrific ideal took hold of the country.
It makes gathering data about social development very difficult, especially since most of these students have experienced trauma that would blur the logical progression of the psyche.
But despite the general reluctance, everyone here has been very welcoming, so there have been no major setbacks to our projects as a whole. Ms. Granger has already consented to becoming subject A, in exchange for instruction in our own magical culture. (Her post pouch, rudimentary though it may be, works quite well for the circumstances. She is quite the brilliant witch.)
Gregor has begun his study on a more general level, observing test groups in public places now, as he tries to find more specific examples in the student body. I will do the same thing until I can find a suitable selection of subjects from the four houses.
It is slower than we had hoped, but we are making progress!
~ Anubia and Gregor
