Owl to Professor Lupin
Professor Lupin-
Have you heard about Mr. Potter's supposed "celebration of the start of term" party this evening? I know that you are very close to Harry, especially after the death of Sirius. I didn't know if he'd mentioned this to you. I've heard rumors about it all day, specifically from Miss Patil- Padma, our Ravenclaw. There were mostly Gryffindor students invited, and oddly enough, one or two Slytherins, a couple of Hufflepuffs, and perhaps a Ravenclaw student. I believe they were meeting in Hogsmeade...or something to that extent. Please don't say anything to Harry about Padma telling me- I don't want to get her in trouble with Mr. Potter.
And, Remus...if I can ever do anything for you, please let me know. I know that the death of someone so close to you hurts more than imaginable. I would love to talk to Miss Abbott, as well, but if you ever need anything, please, do tell me. I'm always here to help, you know that.
Have a wonderful evening, Professor.
