For the others in the conversation, I admit I'm very curious about your comments about apprenticeships that went in unexpected directions. Tosha, Savitha, Barty: do you feel a sense of betrayal, or something else?
I've thought a lot, over time, about Raz and Harry, and the importance of an apprentice (or whatever we're calling it) being their own person, and making their own choices, even when that's sometimes awfully complicated.
(And then I think about the fact that it's my work that took down on of my own Master's biggest projects, for all I think she was rather hoping someone would.)
Or even the milder forms: part of me wishes that Evelyn had stayed much more on the magical side of our field, even while the rest of me is delighted to get letters from her explaining the Muggle science that she's learned in far more depth than I have, and also understands what attracts her there.
