Well, there's stuff that's gonna happen between now and then, as it were, and it might be something of a rough start, but it'll be interesting, I hope? :D

Yeah, not seeing Harry again would've been a wrench for Bob, because hey, this is probably the first time that Bob's ever gotten to teach a young wizard magic, and even if all Harry and Bob ever felt for each other was friendly affection, there would still be that bond of mentor-and-student there. *^^*

Glad you liked!
