To the young Miss Emma,

Noble sentiments! They do your House credit, and rest assured your initiative does not go unappreciated! Given the circumstances, however, I'm afraid your request is impossible. Inspector Weasley and the Aurors have a very good handle on the situation, a very good handle indeed, and it's best to bow to their judgement in ( Read more... )

Minerva,

A good evening to you! Well now, I can't pretend your proposal comes as very much of a surprise! I was reluctant to nominate myself for the job, didn't want to step on any toes you see, but now that you've suggested it I must admit the idea had crossed my mind. It has been some years since I've taken on the respectable mantle, a good many ( Read more... )

My good lady,

Most distressing news this morning! I must say I'm shocked, very shocked indeed, to hear of last night's pandemonium. I sincerely hope whoever orchestrated such pernicious attacks against an exemplary young man will be brought to justice. I've always thought highly of Mister Macmillian's potential, and to see an enthusiastic future ( Read more... )

Oh come now Minerva, I hardly think punishment is in order. The girls bent a few rules, yes, but they're hardly the first students to have done so! It's natural for students to be curious about such things, especially such bright young minds in need of a challenge! And after all, Minerva, after all-- they showed a great deal of remorse, very ( Read more... )

My dear ladyAh, I had rather thought we wouldn't be able to keep this from you for long! I told Albus as much, but he insisted-- personally I wanted to tell you, Minerva, seeing as the girls are under your jurisdiction, after all-- but Albus thought it best to wait, given your present health. He had the best of intentions, of course, given the ( Read more... )

A good evening to you, Mr WeasleyI feel I must apologize for not making your acquaintance sooner, Inspector! I had every intention of introducing myself some weeks ago, of course, but I'm afraid I'd forgotten how time-consuming this business of being a professor can be. They certainly keep you on your toes, those eager young minds! And of course ( Read more... )

The Deputy Headmistress, Professors Sprout and Flitwick, Auror Tonks and Inspector Weasley:

I must ask that each of you join me in the infirmary at once. I've made an unsettling discovery regarding the source of our Headmaster's illness, unsettling indeed.

Horace E. F. Slughorn

I am on my way to the infirmary this moment, but I must ask that you cease and desist your treatment of Albus until I've arrived. I'm certain I've uncovered the root of his illness, and I'm afraid his situation is more dire than we've ever suspected! I'll brief you completely in a matter of moments.

Horace E. F. Slughorn
