It's nice to be stateside again. I flew back last week and head to Kansas tomorrow. Going through Muggle customs and then going through Wizarding customs is a pain. No one ever knows how to handle packages that say handle with care. Corrosive potions are something you can wash out of a sweater.

I should be back in time for the World Cup, Lex will be coming back with me to see it so I shouldn't be delayed. I'll have enough time to come up with my lesson plans for the year.

I hope no one is afraid of goats.

Goats?

There's going to be a long term project next year.

With goats?

I would explain more but it would ruin the surprise.

...You're not gonna make us grind them up, are you?

No, the goats will be alive for the project.

...Goats?

They come in handy for potions.

Do you intend on slaughtering them?

No, they're more useful alive. I don't think I could get the school to agree to it anyways.

What do you intend on doing with them?

Harvest bezoars from them and use them to make antidotes for poisons.

That sounds..
messy

It will be, but I think they can handle it.

I'll have to take your word for that.

Don't want to give it a try?

Not particularly. Probably a good thing I'm not a student.

Are you scared of goats?

No, not at all.

Good, because I'm sure one of the students will let them escape. I need to make sure the rest of the staff will be able to deal with that.

That sounds quite a lot like something that would be considered your problem.

I know, but I don't want to find you on top of a desk waiting for help.

I am the Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher, you know. I've dealt with far worse than goats.

Good to hear.

Enjoy your trip back home.

Thank you, I'm hoping that I will.

All the best with your presentations as well. Let me know when you're back in London; I owe you a drink for taking me around the city the other day.

Good luck on yours as well. I'll send an owl once I've settled back in.

You know my address.
