Students should take note
In order to better oversee the content of your muggle studies journal project(s), it was suggested to me by an un-named member of the staff (Professor Snape) that the faculty also participate in this particular 'on-line' activity.
In all honesty, I am not plagued with concern as to what any of you write in your personal journals. However it did look rather amusing and therefore I felt it would indeed be beneficial for those members of the staff who felt so inclined, to procure one of these 'livejournals'.
The world of the muggle internet is one that has always fascinated me, but I must confess, somewhat befuddled me. Muggles seem to spend an inordinate amount of time gazing at this flickering screen, learning things from it, purchasing things through it, speaking to people from all over the world on it...fascinating. Occasionally I wonder if they don't have a little magic in them after all. Truly, their inventions can be nothing short of wonderous.
Some students seem to be a little confused as to the exact date of the end of term. Far be it from me to keep you here a moment longer than needs be, so i've managed to locate the offical Hogwarts Term Calendar (I appear to have been using it as paper sailor-hat for Fawkes. He was most displeased when I took it back - I shall have to find something else for him, now...perhaps the fifth year Divination exam paper. Sybill will never miss it.). In any case, here it is...
Still haven't been owled the Seventh year NEWT papers from the Ministry. Our Headboy assures me that he has in his posession the timetables, but they aren't much good without the actual exams, are they?
Must owl Fudge about it.
Yours apprehensively,
