How nice to know I will be free from these walls in just a few more days. I apologize for not being around more often. I have been busy arranging matters in the Ministry for when I work there in earnest. Yes, you read correctly. Madame Bones has expressed her sentiments about my work. She said I was very efficient, very purpose-driven. She even gave me a personal recommendation to the Minister himself. So don't be surprised to see me around the Ministry of Magic more often. Far be it in my nature to boast, I can clearly see myself becoming steadily more important in our society.
Something has been gnawing on my mind. There was this one night when I decided to leave my room for a moment and pick up five a cupcake in the kitchen. Imagine my surprise when I found the entire common room deserted but for a few sulking first years. No Bellatrix, no Malfoy, no Avery, Macnair, Wilkes, Yaxley, Carrow, Dolohov, Black or Snape in sight. No one. I would have thought some kindly angel of death has rid the world of them, but upon questioning, a first year admitted there was an event of sorts happening in Hogsmead that night. I'm sure the professors would be glad to know their students are off having unsupervised field trips in the middle of the night.
Hello. I doubt you remember that little talk we had in the library. I have all the necessary ingredients for the potion, I just need your help in preparing it. Would you be a dear and meet me in the empty Potions classroom? If you're not too busy, of course.
