Private message to Madam Pomfrey

[alt_sally_anne]

I don't suppose you're going to be around St Mungo's at all this summer? Healer Korotkova has me running all her errands for her, as part of my internship, and that means I'm in and out of St M's at least twice a week, usually more. (Obviously if there's a patient who needs to be seen, she goes herself, but quite often people come in and drop off malfunctioning spectacles or something and she sends me to get those and then to deliver them back. Also, the dispensary at St M's is where she gets certain supplies.)

Anyway. If I happen to have a chance to run into you, that would be lovely. Otherwise I'll see you in September.

My internship is going quite well. So far I've learned quite a lot about the craft of making eyeglasses and artificial eyes and a little about eye diseases and reversing curses on eyes and eyesight. I think Healer Korotkova is quite pleased with me so far, because for simple problems with spectacles I can nearly always fix them now, and that frees her up to work on things she finds more interesting. (She is a little impatient about the fact that I can't read any language other than English, but Professor Sinistra helped me read the journal article in German she particularly wanted me to read.)

So if anything goes wrong with Rhymes with Rudy's unusual eye, I might be able to set it right.

I was really hoping she'd teach me how to make things like it -- do you know it sees through walls? And under disillusionment charms and it does loads of other things. (I found a long article discussing it in one of the old Healing journals. Old enough that they talked to Moody about it.) So far the main thing I've learned is that my skills aren't anywhere near up to that level (and probably won't ever be -- but then again, she only ever made ONE.)

(She sort of hinted today that I should write to you, so I wanted to make sure I did it where she could see.)

Hello, my dear. Good to hear from you.

I will be in and out at St Mungo's, yes. Mostly on Fridays or at weekends. The occasional late afternoon is possible, though my weekday schedule is rather full.

I'm most pleased to hear that your time with Healer Korotkova is proving productive, and it will be reassuring to have someone with a bit of fresh training in eye issues on hand this year, though let us hope we will see nothing so pernicious as Mr Ackerly's corneal boils proved. I will be sure to call you if anything interesting or instructive presents itself.
