The entire blasted situation is a nuisance, but then Shingleton has less brains than my most incompetent first-year, so I've been expecting something like this.

I cannot advise you on your situation, as I have no such question regarding my own. You have influence which I will never attain. Should you be forced to choose an adornment, I am certain they will make sure it is of the highest quality and fall all over themselves being apologetic as they strap it on your wrist, ankle, or throat - whichever you may choose, of course.

Madam (Miss? I do not believe that we have yet had the pleasure of a formal introduction.),
While, here, I referred to an actual event, the frugal use of what you--surprisingly accurately--call 'subjective capitalization' can be a boon to the written word. Unlike the spoken word, the written word has no obvious formal cues to denote tone. Therefore, the sparing use of a capitalization can denote importance or, in this instance, mockery. As an author, I strive for such a balanced use of grammar in my writing, even should it be of the informal variety, such as this.
In my post, I meant both the derisive 'great leap forward' that the Ministry would be undertaking in its quest to further irritate the wrongfully Registered as well as the 'Great Leap Forward,' the historical event so called in China. Their leader felt that he could force the country to modernise according to some absurd rules and regulations, to disastrous results for the general citizen. With both uses of the capital, I hoped to express my doubt as to the efficacy

Darling, don't you think we would be considered the least likely to defect from a "clean" life? After all, the wizarding world is not as smart as it looks, and with your official Ministry pardon...

But, still, I am left wondering if I should be choosing what 'jewelery' I shall be sporting soon.

One longs for true leadership in these trying times...
My tears have barely dried from their last ludicrus "leap".

I do not think we should be too worried.
