Thank you for the explanation (quite confusing this weekend, until I pieced the names together). And thank you as well for your good wishes - I will certainly pass them along to Raz.
Let me give a little thought to the most urgent questions of managing assignments, then, and to a list of all the other small things people forget to tell you, and we can certainly discuss late in the week. By then I should be able to round up some sample essays from my own classes, that may give you an idea of the best and worst one might generally expect of a given year.
On that note, Friday is fine from my end, and I believe Raz's as well. (Narcissa has been teasing me about taking over Raz's social calendar already, but he has been doing more things this summer - such as flying with Harry and Draco - where a journal is simply not handy.) Though I may well leave you to Raz's company once it's fully dark, if that would not offend: I have been missing my tower and observing mightily this summer, and Raz is blessedly tolerant of my research obsessions.
As to the books, I will do what I can to spread the word (both directly, and to a few students who know those who may not even ask me). I assume, in the short term, that sharing copies would not be too much of a difficulty, as well? I do appreciate the problem of edition and translation - one of my NEWT texts is Latin in translation, and all but two of the translations muddy the astronomy horribly.
At any rate, I'm sure you have many things to be settling out, and I certainly have a lengthy list of my own.
