I really am looking forward to Care of Magical Creatures next term. Naturally, we won't be working with dragons, but it's still been on my mind a lot as of late.
I did look up that Parkinson you mentioned. I got permission from Pince to look him up in the Restricted section. His name was Darby Parkinson, he was some cousin or another of my great-whatever grandfather Loomis. Darby tried to go back 100 years in time, but something went terribly wrong, and there was a giant explosion both at his house, and on the spot where his house was being built 100 years earlier. Which is funny, because the reason he wanted to go back in time was to check out the explosion to see what caused it. They mentioned something called a "sonic boom," and about how going too far in time in one go can lead to ripples like a sonic boom except for in time, so now we know we can't travel quite that far at once. So I guess he won't be stopping in for tea, unless it blew him several hundred years forward by mistake.
