Order Only: Private Message to Hermione Granger and Harry Marvolo

[alt_mcgonagall]

Child, do you know anything about students in places they should not be? The castle still considers me the Headmistress enough to warn me when students are causing trouble, it seems.

It is too much to hope, I suppose, that it has not told that woman as well.

She's a toad.

[alt_mcgonagall]

That is abundantly clear to everyone who knows her, Miss Granger, and does not add to my comprehension of the situation.

[alt_hermione]

No, I mean, literally. She's now a toad. We transfigured her.

She was going to kill me, I think.

She caught me on lookout duty for Sophie's Army and put me under Imperius to make me show her where the others were. Then she caught Harry and Cedric Diggory and dragged us all to her office. She was going crazy, Professor.

But then there was a man in her office and I don't know what happened, all of a sudden I could move again and Cedric was hurt but Madam Umbridge was raving and screaming and I had my wand out in a flash, and I know I shouldn't have done it but I cast 'Expelliarmus' and then Fred and George burst through the door and transfigured her into a toad.

We're putting her in one of her plates. And releasing the other kittens.

Could you tell Mr Snape to come and help us? I think the elves will, too, but we could use someone we can trust.

Oh, and we're trying to wake up Cedric but I think maybe he's more seriously hurt than we thought, and Mr Snape could help with that too, maybe.

I shall do so immediately. The situation is clearly completely out of hand: you need adults, however grown up you may seem at times. And not adults of that woman's sort.
