Private message to Madam Pomfrey

[alt_sally_anne]

I just wanted to let you know, Professor Dolohov has arranged to introduce me over hols to Healer Ekaterina Petrovna Korotkova. Her specialty is ophthalmancy, both the treatment of eye disorders and the manufacture of eyeglasses and prostheses. He thinks she might be willing to take me as an intern over the summer.

I had never even thought about this speciality. But, it actually combines BOTH healing, and crafting things. I actually made a false eye years ago for a muggle on the Stretton Estates (they do 'favours' for their muggles on Boxing Day each year) -- it wasn't a working prosthesis, of course (I'm not sure if that would even work for a muggle) but merely something that would look plausibly like an eye. He was quite pleased with it, although I imagine I could make something rather better now.

Anyway -- Professor Dolohov says that Ekaterina Petrovna has quite a bit of influence at St Mungo's and is friends with the woman who makes decisions about acceptances to the apprenticeship programme. He thinks that if I can manage to impress her -- and I really think I can -- she could help me get in.

Yes, indeed, she made it, though I'd urge you to avoid the topic with her (more especially than with Professor Dolohov). Or, if you do broach the matter, I'd suggest you avoid implying that there is anything mad about the eye. If you take my meaning.
