Moody, Mr Longbottom has requested for me to teach him unarmed combat. I know you directed him to me, but I want to make sure that I have your permission to teach him what he needs to know. This means a rather physical regiment that could be seen as placing a student in harm's way. I could go easier on the boy if you asked me to, but if he is getting trained for what I think he is getting trained for, then I do not think I should hold back. Let me know when you get a chance.
