alt_mcgonagallMiss Calderwood is not to be expelled for her part in the pink parchment affair.
The Cruciatus curse shall be publicly performed on her by Professor Alecto Carrow on Thursday at breakfast. She will then be prohibited from attending the Yule Ball, and will be sent down from Hogwarts for the remainder of the year. She will be allowed to repeat this year's coursework when school resumes after the summer holidays. (This latter part of the punishment will be confirmed by the board of governors on Thursday, presuming that she shows appropriate contrition.)
As a word of warning to students who may think of following Miss Calderwood's example. Expulsion was seriously discussed, as was the possibility of allowing all students below their fourth year to attempt the Cruciatus curse on Miss Calderwood, in their classes. Should there appear to be a spate of copy-cats, their punishments will be harsher.

Re: I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good
Date: 2011-12-19 07:41 pm (UTC)I'd noticed Professor Sinistra has tidied her office a LOT and when I was working in there she had areas she didn't want me even touching. I thought it was because there was something she didn't want me to disturb but actually I think she was worried I'd set off the curse.
Probably part of why she didn't get punished more harshly is that Professor Sinistra never actually got hurt. Also, Professor Sinistra probably didn't want anything really awful to happen to her. I wonder if it had been -- oh, Aurelia Archer or someone who could potentially get in MUCH WORSE trouble if she'd have handled it herself to protect her?
