I shouldn't take Miss Greengrass' personal confession too much to heart. It had obviously been weighing on her but it is in the way of teenaged girls to over-dramatise everything when they are already distressed. Unfortunate that it came out in the throes of her much more serious concerns. I'm sure in the light of day, she has come to see how absurd the notion is.
Meanwhile, I've contacted Hieronymus and asked him to come to the school today, if possible, to determine what's to be done with his son. I agree with Minerva that if Miss Greengrass does not wish to pursue the matter, the best outcome may simply be to allow him to complete his NEWT examinations and then give him our leave to commence his post-Hogwarts career a month earlier than expected. Julius and Maghnus have agreed to escort Mr Bole to and from his exams; I don't wish him to consort with the other students while we resolve the question of whether he is to remain one of them.
I only wish Miss Greengrass or Miss Gamp had come to someone in authority sooner. So much of their troubles could have been avoided.
