I must thank you, gentlemen, for the liveliest staff meeting in...well, at least a year.
If what we heard via our Head Boy is true, there are at least a few Prefects involved in this ring, Quidditchers, counsellors for the Young Protectors' League--my dear fellows, you underestimated your influence and somewhat overestimated your ability to intimidate.
That said, I do hope we can hit upon a balanced mode of retribution, without decimating all four Houses of their leadership. After all, it's far from the first time students have engaged in similar behaviour--nor, I very much fear, shall it be the last.
Antosha, have you formed a plan yet to root out all the perpetrators? Naturally I am at your disposal if I may help in any way. Not, of course, that I have any claim to interrogatory fame such as you, dear fellow, but certainly 60 years of teaching does provide a modicum of talent for winkling out the truth from our charges.
