How are you feeling today? None the worse for that second bottle we opened? You seemed to need it at the time.

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.

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.

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.

My dear Miss Clearwater: You'll be happy to know that you were not alone in your reservations concerning Miss Greengrass. The matter has been discussed and resolved to, I hope, all our satisfaction, except perhaps Mr Bole's.

Julius: Keep an eye on him for me, will you? I've a suspicion he may do himself no good over the weekend.

And both of you shall, I trust, keep the rumours to an absolute minimum. The last thing this situation needs is for some ill-timed remark to send Bole into a fit of pique. I'm sure you both agree.

I've also informed Madam Pomfrey and the Headmistress after my chat with them last night.
