Locked to Hogwarts Staff.
We have a problem.
I am sure that you are all aware of the heightened spectral activity just lately. It appears that the ghosts are becoming increasingly agitated. Clearly, there is a newcomer amongst them who is upsetting the balance. At Hogwarts they could remain, for the most part, away from the students. However, that is not possible here at the safehouses, and I know that you have all experienced disruption to lessons as a result. Just this morning, my fourth year Transfiguration class was was besieged by several angry spirits, in such a way that made it nigh on impossible for my students to concentrate.
I have been tolerant so far. I have spoken to Mrs Lestrange, and explained that I will not hesitate to consider exorcism, should any harm befall our students as a result of her activity. She is quite aware that she is only being allowed to remain here because Albus believes in giving everybody a second chance, regardless of their crimes
because I respect Severus, and think he deserves a chance at peace. Though goodness knows, whatever he sees in the witch is quite beyond me.
out of good will, and that she has to keep her side of the bargain.
So, in order to gauge exactly how much disruption she is likely to cause us, I am asking you all to please ascertain the cause of any disruptive ghostly activity, and report it to me if Mrs LeStrange appears to have been the point of contention.
Thank you.
Minerva.
