I wish you could have done, too, what, but--well, as it was, getting you back through the Common Room was tricky. Perhaps if the day hadn't been so cold, more people would still have been in Hogsmeade. I'm well glad you had the cloak!

And you're right. Probably part of why it's difficult is that it'll be some time before we have that sort of privacy again. Well, I say privacy, I mean to say privacy and room to spread out, what.

The stairwell alcove's simply not going to be nearly so cosy after today.
