Miss Abbott, I've recently found out about what happened to your family over break. I'm very, very sorry to hear of this news. I do want you to know that, no matter how awkward it may seem, if you ever need to talk, I am always here. It might be easier to send an owl- but that's just a thought. I hope your classes are going well today and that Transfiguration isn't a problem as of yet. But if you ever need help with it, you do know where to find me. I hope to see you in better spirits soon.
-Professor McGonagall
