- Quite the rabble. First curious news is that of Amycus Carrow's arrest. News is incomplete on my end, since the Missus has been indisposed of late - on missions of which I dare not breathe a word - but if I am understanding, the thought here is that Carrow went so far as to render his own mudblood, and others', as completely un-usable? I do find that logic hard to follow. Say what you will, but the man has dedicated much time to discovering an array of uses for that end of the populace.

- Head Girl Sandoval: I have completed my analysis of Item #702, also known as your earrings. With Owls back in the air I will have the official report off soon, but as it's very official indeed, allow me to translate by telling you here that your earrings were adorned by a male who injested polyjuice potion in order to transform himself into a female: into you, specifically. I shall leave it to you to speculate on who would want to do such a thing, and why. The earrings are now perfectly safe to wear, however, and very pretty baubles they are.

- Duckie, you should have got an Owl by now. Make sure that the surprise I tucked into the envelope lasts a few days, but know that there's more where that came from. As soon as we're allowed to send parcels you'll get a load of sweets to rival that of the hamper your Auntie Narcissa sends to Draco. That way, he won't have to worry about you nicking all the nicest things to satisfy your sugar tooth.

- Boys still get up to as much trouble as ever, I see. Is this what I have to look forward to when my youngest is near to thirteen? I suppose so. Best to have a stiff drink now.

He always did have a flair for experimentation, of a kind. Perhaps this is tied in with that particular predilection. With impulses like that, he should be better suited to some position of import at the camps, I would think. Thought naturally, it's not for me to say. Which is why it is good that I only write.

Sounds as if you could use a stiff drink, too.

I will not deny that his skills are of benefit to young minds, and that for this reason he has maintained his position for years with no real cause for complaint. However, I do believe his natural disposition has caused incremental damage to his ability to maintain suitably professional conduct. It is, I believe, something that has grown more noticeable in recent months. But I have long maintained that the camps or pure research are where he would have prospered; it may yet be that he will be commuted to such a position, if Our Lord wills it.

And yes: An occasion for fortification, if ever I have seen one.
