Private Message to Minerva McGonagall and Poppy Pomfrey

Poppy, I think you had better come and join us in Rabastan's office. Minerva, you as well, if you can. Urgently.

We've been having a long discussion with Miss Greengrass and Mr Zabini.

Poppy, I'm sorry to interrupt your non-celebratory evening but you'll agree, I'm sure, that it's quite necessary.

Private Message to Julius Avery

Julius,

If you could, kindly find Mr Bole and bring him up to Professor Lestrange's office.

If you need to speak to anyone in order to locate him, please do not tell them why you need to find him. Also, please do nothing to agitate him on your way upstairs with him.

And it should go without saying, Julius, that I should appreciate it if you said nothing to anyone else about bringing him up to see us.

Possibly it would be better to bring him by the west stairwells; Madam Pomfrey has taken Miss Greengrass to stay in the hospital wing tonight and I do not wish the two of them to see each other under any circumstances.

As always, I trust your discretion in this as in all confidential matters.
