Private message to Dolores Umbridge

[alt_mcgonagall]

You have not proffered an apology, of course, so I cannot say I "accept your apology," despite having thought carefully about your words at supper—but I may ask, there are no other surprises planned for breakfast to-morrow morning, are there?

I have had enough weepy Hufflepuffs in my office already for the entire quarter.

The Protectorate is not the issue, a fact of which you are well aware.

The staff feels quite as one might expect-shocked that such a sweet girl proved a traitor to our Lord, hopeful that the hard lesson Will be instructive to the other students.

Minnie, I'm most surprised. The Protectorate - Our Lord's Glorious Protectorate - is always the issue.

Still, I suppose I had not entirely considered the full range of impact it might have on the students. And yet, once it was placed into MLE hands, truly, they made a number of the crucial decisions.

Now, we do have a staff meeting on Wednesday, and I'd like to request just a few teensy minutes on the agenda, if I may, for one little thing and another.
