Staff meeting this evening

Hogwarts Professors, there is a staff meeting this evening at eight o'clock.

The business of Hogwarts must continue, regardless of events outside our walls, and I believe we have much to discuss with regards to the spring term.

Private Message to the Lord Protector

Tonight I shall write briefly, although as I grow to understand what sorts of information interests you, I shall write at more length.

The castle is, as you would expect, quite awed by recent events.

The Warrington boys are as yet not returned. We have discussed what to do with them. Fortunately they are Slytherins, and I think unlikely to cause trouble.

Your son is, I am told, concerned that he caused others' deaths by displeasing you. I suspect that he will try harder to be a dutiful child in the future, whether or not that was your intention.

We prepare for exams, now, with increasing diligence, and for the final task as well.
