When the Easter holidays are finally over and everyone is back in the castle, I would like to offer anyone who would volunteer the opportunity to take part in an experiment. As I'm sure most of you are aware, the forest is home to creatures known as Thestrals. They're creatures one can only see if they have witnessed death.

I'm working on a way to make it so that even those who haven't seen someone perish can see them. So if you have never seen anyone die, then I would like to extend and invitation the day after term starts for anyone willing.

In case anyone is worried, it should be fairly safe.

My thanks! Again, good luck with your experiments. Try not to scare too many of the kids though; you'll probably have to deal with all the over-anxious parents. Why just the other day I got an unhappy letter penned by the mother of a fifth year student, accusing me of being too rough with her boy.

I really have to wonder where our sense of adventure has gone over the years? As a father I understand the desire to protect your children, but there's only so much you can do before you have to let go.

But it's not like I'm one to talk; I'm not ready just yet either. Ah well, I think I still have two years before I'll have to cut those apron strings.

Do you have any children of your own? They must be lucky to have a father who's willing to try something new and brave.
