Order Only: Private message to Severus Snape and Poppy Pomfrey

[alt_mcgonagall]

In case you may have thought to come check on me this morning, I would like to inform you that I am perfectly well and in no need of your ministrations.

As well as I can be with the recent behaviour of the general Hogwarts student populace, in any case. I imagine that I shall be summoned to explain the situation soon. What joy that shall portend! At least Mr Marvolo had the sense not to become embroiled, as far as we have discovered.

Let us hope that Mr Marvolo's good sense means the Dark Lord declines to involve Himself personally. It is not as though He did not encourage His followers to the study of the Dark Arts on their own, even while we they were still in Hogwarts themselves.

If all else fails, redirect the blame to Dolohov and Lestrange.

I will, meanwhile, be stopping in your office shortly, but not for "ministrations", as you put it: I have finished blending my latest attempt at a heather and chamomile tea, and feel this formulation is approaching adequacy. I would be most appreciative should you choose to give me your opinions on the matter.
