alt_horaceAldo,
Yesterday the most extraordinary thing occurred, which it is my duty to report to you as Director of the BNSP. Assume you will continue in that capacity under the Provisional Government? If not, do say immediately, dear fellow, and I shall appoint Gimlet the acting Director of the PG north, as it were.
In any event, if you could trouble yourself to make an adjustment to the rolls. I've received a complete record of training and examination certifications of one Hermione Jane Granger, muggleborn, at the hands of none other than Severus Snape.
Severus's letter tells me that she is ready (or very nearly) to sit examination for Mastery. I've fully reviewed his documents and her own journals, as well as observed her in the Potions laboratory yesterday. I must say that, barring a catastrophe on a Master-level Potion under examination, I quite agree with his assessment. Alas, as he is no longer with us, we shall need a sponsor in his stead and a second to observe the form of inquiry. Under the circumstances, your support in her achievement would, I suspect, go far to ingratiate you with Albus's little revolutionary group. I do advise cooperation, it's the way the world is going, after all.
Naturally, you may find it difficult to leave New London at this time, and we cannot be expected to come there in the short-term. You would be wise to make the effort, if you can. If not, Gimlet and I will agree upon a mutually convenient time and send you the results.
Meanwhile, there can be no doubt that Severus observed all the appropriate protocols and, if the work he has provided is any indication, we would be wholly remiss not to confer her current rank of Journeywoman upon her as soon as possible. In fact, if you could kindly backdate the entry to... let me see, ah yes: 28 May, 1997. I can forward the necessary documentation if you require more than my word.
