Sounds like Our Lord has arranged for some excellent entertainment for His servants at Hogwarts.

Have our novices been lining up to impress you? Regardless of whether Our Lord calls on you to formally pass judgment on their efforts, surely the clever ones realise that forming alliances early can only help them later.

Things have certainly been interesting so far. I've had my own list for quite some time, of course, but would you expect anything else? The next few months should prove entertaining to watch. Half the little darlings have been in to curry favour already, and the other half are determined to go it alone so that they need not credit anyone else for whatever success they might achieve. An interesting psychological test.

Still, Our Lord's plan is already returning fruit. Let us hope it will continue to make clear who remains loyal, and who has begun to lose enthusiasm for Our Lord's wisdom.
