I'm lying here in the infirmary, looking forward to next year. Next year, we can study the Unforgivable Curses openly, and I'm sure McGonagall will let me begin studying Animagism openly. I've made some progress along those lines, but being able to work in the open will make things easier. Of course, I shan't report any success, if only because being an unregistered Animagus could be the difference betweeen freedom and captivity sometime.
