Thank you so much for your assistance and direction. This list will do nicely.
I shall send owls to the girls' guardians confirming their selection for the programme and requesting permission to enroll them. Upon receipt of their acceptance on the girls' behalf, we may inform them of the opportunity that awaits.
I've compared my calendar with my husband's copy from his Board materials and also consulted with Master Gibbon. We agree that it would be best, whenever possible, to schedule activities for our groups on the same day, so as to keep them running in parallel. That will likely change moving forward, of course, but we have scheduled the first meetings on the 16th of October. This ought to give us more than enough time to confirm their enrollment.
Madam Catchlove will be able to begin her lessons after the Christmas holidays. If I am to appear in person, I am afraid I shall not have another opportunity to visit with the girls before the holidays myself (our calendar really is very full this season), unless we decide to include an evening or possibly a Sunday afternoon. I thought perhaps as a treat, if they do particularly well during the year, a supervised trip to Sorçère in Hogsmeade might be arranged between the end of exams and their return home, though I know that's ages away. But Madame Puddifoot's is another option for lessons in proper etiquette at tea and so on, and that might be arranged in conjuction with a Hogsmeade day. I understand that the second-year girls would require an escort and permission from their guardians - though I cannot foresee that as a problem.
Regarding Miss Lovegood, I am glad you mention her with such clear perception of her potential as well as her peculiarity. I agree that Miss Lovegood would likely be made to feel more uncomfortable as a participant in the pilot programme. However, you need not fear for her foster-mother's ability to provide mentorship. Mrs Brown is an acquaintance of mine; we have served together on numerous committees in the Witches' Institute, the Daughters of the Protectorate and the St Mungo's Auxiliary for many years. I know she has made every effort to provide for her new charge with diligence and sensitivity. If Miss Lovegood believes herself abused in her situation, I can assure you it could not be further from the truth. I believe her years with her 'irregular' upbringing, as you call it, have damaged her to the point where she may simply refuse to accept the advice and guidance of a witch who surely has only her best interest at heart.
