Thank you both for taking Percy and me to supper last night. I know we've talked about going to Sorçère but we've never had the chance before. It was truly kind of you to include me and I know we both really appreciated the ability to get away from the castle for a while.
Mr Malfoy, I know Percy is quite grateful for your counsel, as well. He quite looks up to you, sir, and talks often of the time he spent in your office last summer. You'll have to forgive him if he seemed a little subdued yesterday. It's been a very draining weekend for him. I'm sure you realise he's really not himself right now. But your interest in him is something he values, I know.
Mrs Malfoy, thank you so much for working with the Sisters in Witchcraft. Abbott was well-liked. It's so good of you to take time away from your own family to think of them. I enjoyed our talk about the state of journalism and publication in our realm, as well. I do think it's an area I should consider when I leave next year. I am also thinking about going into research, or possibly theatre management, but I'd prefer investigative reporting. I thought it interesting the way the Prophet conducted Percy's interview, actually. I'm glad they let me stay - not just because I was able to be moral support for Percy.
Professor McGonagall's announcement is going to upset a fair few students, I expect. Though in the end, I'm sure it's for the best. Our Lord must have a difficult time keeping the peace when there are so many sides to consider. Privately, I must say that I am relieved Mr Carrow has left.
Well, we've still got exams to finish and I'm sure you are both quite busy after spending the weekend up here. So I'll not take up more time. I only wanted to thank you for your generosity and your kindness.
Sincerely,
Penelope Clearwater
