[[With regards to N. Hawthorne]]
Glad to see all you freaky little cat people are back to normal. Now perhaps those allergic to animals can come back out of hiding.
With finals swiftly approaching, stress is at a yearly high for students. Which is why there's no better time for me to renew our weekly meetings of the Anger Management group. I trust all our regular members will be there particularly those under disciplinary obligation to attend. This promises to be a very exciting meeting, as it's been several weeks since our last, so I'm sure everyone will have loads to talk about!
[Private to Lady]
Miss Arkham, I've taken the liberty of checking your files, and it seems you've neglected to make your required review sessions with me. Quite a few, in fact. This could be very problematic, particularly if you want to go onto 5th year next year. We will have to work hard to rectify thing.
Given the late nature of the year and your oh-so busy schedule, I have worked out a system to help you earn the credits faster. It seems your Monday evenings are free, which just so happens to coincide with my weekly Anger Management group. If you would attend three consecutive meetings, I will count them as sessions and mark you as having passed your behavioral review. I think this will work out well for everyone.
Or, if you prefer, we can do the regular one-on-one sessions. It's up to you.

This next meeting should prove interesting. Tatsuki and Sakura alone will provide ample entertainment. Sakura's been making great improvements, but she's been slipping a bit lately, probably due to the stress of the whole 'cat' thing, not to mention her OWLs coming up. Whatever it is, Tatsuki will drag it out of her in group. She's quite good at that. Perhaps she'd make a good counselor one day... God, does that mean I have to put her through university? O.O
Having Lady there should be interesting too. She obviously need to be brought back down to Earth, and if she tries to pull that superior attitude with my girls they'll shut her down faster than a club raid. Merlin, what an odd reference... perhaps I haven't been to London in too long... I'll have to grab Marik for an evening. And it's better than having to talk to the brat in order to fill her bloody credits. I would just give it to her Head of House to do, but seeing as she's a nobody Slughorn's made it clear he has no interest in her either. I wonder if they put anti-cheating hexes on report cards....
Oh! I almost forgot, I need to prepare the stress relief workshops for the 5th and 7th years. Annoying little buggers; freaking out because they got an E instead of an O. So long as it's a vowel, who really cares? The ministry certainly doesn't; you could have SCRABBLE with your test scores and they'd take you for one of their miserable desk jobs. Thank God I never worked for them; Muggle jobs are so much easier.
I wonder if I should get a job for the summer....
[[Much to the author's surprise, and (if she may say so without additional offence) considerably to her amusement, she finds that her character's post, introductory to the latest Anger Management Group meeting, has created an unprecedented excitement in the respectable community immediately around her. It could hardly have been more violent, indeed, had she burned down Hogwarts, and quenched its last smoking ember in the blood of a certain venerable personage, against whom she is supposed to cherish a peculiar malevolence. As the public disapprobation would weigh very heavily on her were she conscious of deserving it, the author begs leave to say, that she has carefully read over the post, with a purpose to alter or expunge whatever might be found amiss, and to make the best reparation in her power for the atrocities of which he has been adjudged guilty. But it appears to her, that the only remarkable features of the post are its frank and genuine good-humor, and the general accuracy with which she has conveyed her character's sincere impressions of the characters therein described. As to enmity, or ill-feeling of any kind, personal or political, she utterly disclaims such motives. The post might, perhaps, have been wholly omitted, without loss to the public, or detriment to the storyline; but, having undertaken to write it, she conceives that it could not have been done in a better or a kindlier spirit, nor, so far as her abilities availed, with a livelier effect of truth.
The author is constrained, therefore, to republish her post without the change of a word. ]]
