pobble_readsThe obvious blessing in this chapter is for Mildred and everyone else who is living with fear - whether it's a nebulous anxiety/phobia like Mildred's fear of the dark or fear of something more concrete. May the be comforted and safe.
My less obvious blessing is for whoever embroidered the samplers with quotes from the Book of Spells that every pupil had in the otherwise plain rooms. My headcanon is that stitching them is something the final year students do to welcome the next lot of first years who will take over their bedrooms - but it could be one particular teacher who makes them or was a group project one particular year and they've just lasted well - but whoever made them they seem to be the only decoration and hint of specialness that the pupils have in their rooms. I hope that they help then to feel more at home and cared for as well as helping them to remember the spells. I'd like to bless everyone who creates beauty and homleyness - may they also be welcomed, nurtured and surrounded by beauty and skilled crafting
