Well, he said it was 'acceptable within parameters.' And he said well done. Which I suppose he didn't have to say, you know, if he didn't really mean it. So I think he was pleased. Mostly I think he'll be relieved he doesn't have to do it every month, now, with so many other potions to attend to and so on.

But I think he wants to make sure Mr Lupin doesn't think there's any difference before we tell him.

It's easier for me to go to the secret room before curfew but once I'm there it's no problem to wait. And anyway, I can do some reading while I'm waiting.
