Order Only: Return

Having been back at Hogwarts for two hours, I would like to recant anything I may have muttered about the annoyance of tutoring teenagers; I would gladly spend another month cleaning up cauldron explosions and correcting chopping techniques if it meant I did not have to deal with that woman. (She is infuriated today: from listening to her ranting at supper, she appealed to Selwyn's department for authorisation to read all private messages coming into or out of Hogwarts, and was resoundingly denied.)

Poppy: I leave further tutoring in your hands. We concentrated this week on the Draught of Peace and the Wit-Sharpening Potion. For the remainder of the holiday I suggest you concentrate on the medicinals that are on the curriculum; I left those for your supervision. I suggest you attempt to hold Mr Weasley accountable for his lax attitude towards his studies, as I clearly have not succeeded in impressing upon him the seriousness of his study.

Black: I do not know if you are aware that several of the children have got into your library. You may wish to ensure none of the books walk away with them.

Minerva: I will contact you as soon as I am aware of a time that Dolores will be out of the castle for an extended period so that we might enter your office to check the book.
