That sounds like a very interesting book. Thank you for the recommendation.
I am really looking forward to the August training. What worries me a bit is whether the Strettons will ask me to Heal their muggles, when they are sick or injured, once I have a bit of training. I don't want to make someone worse by accident, but I don't want to leave someone suffering who isn't going to get any other sort of care, either.
Perhaps when I get back to school you can talk to me about how trainee healers are supposed to deal with that sort of problem? Where they don't really know how to fix something, and know that a real Healer would, but also know that the patient is not going to see a real Healer? Because surely that happens. And how do you say to someone, 'I'm so sorry but I might make you worse instead of better.' And what do you say if they say afterward, 'I would rather take that risk and have you try.'
