I have not been living in the Slytherin dorms for more than a week, and it seems that the ridiculous state of the place has not improved in my absence. I do not know if the most disturbing part of my thankfully brief visit yesterday afternoon was that the common room is still flooded, meaning that no teacher seems to be bothered in the slightest that various kinds of aquatic wildlife are taking over our House, or that Millicent was swimming with the wildlife. This state of affairs is unhygenic, dangerous and simply unacceptable. I realise that Slytherin is quite lacking without my presence, however I will return there only once the lake is gone.
It seems that, despite the excellent job done by the Slytherin prefects in making dinner for the school on Thursday, certain students refuse to be satisfied and are blaming me for a sudden outbreak of some illness in their house. Clearly, the Hufflepuffs need to learn to take responsibility for any outbreaks of disease which may occur amongst themselves, rather than trying to make Slytherins their scapegoats.
