Once more, the kingdom seems relatively up in spirits as the impending nuptials grow closer. And, of course, I have found myself overwhelmingly busy with tasks. I do wonder if His Majesty realizes I only have two hands and one mind. As much as I wish to fully coordinate a wedding, plan for what few classes I can be afforded to teach, and put out certain 'fires' round the kingdom, I am only one wizard.

In an unrelated instance, it seems my resume continues to grow.

[Private to His Majesty]

I blame you.

[Private to Lily]

Thank you for the wolfsbane. It was highly useful these past few days, though I fear I am still a bit groggy.

I hate to ask more of you, but I am afraid I have come in need I need female advice.

	Should I find a second adviser? [Remus] What did I do this time? (Reply to this) (Thread)

I doubt anyone else would do half the things you make me do. No, I'm just in a mood, I'm afraid. Forgive me, Majesty.

[Sirius]

It's honestly nothing you did. Well, nothing you did recently.

I've somehow talked myself into the position of becoming Hesta's matchmaker.

I am sorry for my temper. You know how I get after a full moon, and I'm afraid with the upcoming wedding, school nearing it's beginning, and my...changing moods, I haven't been very pleasant or available, old friend.

You are a man of many marvels, mate. If you ever wish to share the burden, say the word, and I will find someone.

[Moony]
You are trying to set Hestia up with someone? Dare I ask why?

Do not apologise. Your temper on your worst days rival my best. If there is anything I can do to ease your burden, I will try. I'm sure Mother would be thrilled to handle every last detail of the wedding.

I appreciate the thought, Majesty. And thank you.

[Padfoot]

She seems to think that marriage will somehow many her and her son's situation a better one. I can almost understand her logic, so I offered to potentially find her a suitor.

I do appreciate the offer, but I'm afraid all I can ask is to avoid your usual antics. At least until after this wedding- though I believe your mother is keeping you busy enough that you might ~~somehow~~ stay out of trouble.

And I would never put you or Miss Greengrass at the complete mercy of Her Highness. Believe it or not, I prefer you alive.

	Moony, I am glad to hear your transition was on the easier side. Rest up so you have your full energy to welcome students back in just five days. Five days! Good Godric, I've got loads of prepping to do... Female advice? Of course-- but don't you typically ask our future King or my dear husband for advice on women? I'm honoured! (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Haha, please don't remind me of all the prepping! Once again, I feel entirely unprepared for the year. Oh well. Oh...well, it's not exactly like that. I um...well, you see, I might have talked myself into becoming a bit of a match maker for a young lady. Trouble is, I have no idea where to even begin or who to present her to.

	Yet you will once again be our students' favourite professor, no doubt. Matchmaking? Really now? I never thought you were the sort... or is this another unofficial duty of the royal adviser? Are you looking for advice on the matchmaking process, or the individual you're trying to match? If so, I'll need her name and a bit of a description if I don't know her.

Speak for yourself! They hate me as soon as they see their first large assignment for the year. There's no winning them back after that.

I'm not! That's the issue.

I'm afraid it is just that. I guess I'm looking for both....

It's Hestia Jones. Yes, before you start, I know. But, the poor girl's been at such a loss for so many years, and she feels finding a husband will somehow improve her lot in life. And that of her son's.
