Of all the ill-bred, patrician, supercilious -- how DARE he? How DARE he brush this off as if nothing -- as if he had absolutely no part in what -- I've half a mind to tear his card up and send the pieces back to him -- if I had my hands anywhere near his throat at this moment heaven help me for what I would want to DO

[Owl to Percival Weasley]
(The owl delivering the letter is Hermes, Percy's own owl, who had previously delivered the card to Marietta at the infirmary. The handwriting in this missive is meticulous, as if the letter had been copied and re-copied over more than one draft.)
Mr Weasley:
I would like to see you immediately with regard to a matter of extreme gravity and importance. As it concerns the health and well-being of Miss Marietta Edgecombe, who is currently under my care, your information may be vital to her recovery.
I request that you arrive at the Hogwarts infirmary at some point during the day or evening tomorrow.
