Private Message to Professor Sinistra and Mrs Pearson

[alt_penelope]

Do you think you'll need me for the Tower trip this evening?

Only I've just got an owl from Perc Mr Malfoy's clerk and we've got the chance to go to the Malfoys' garden party tonight. If I don't have to go along with the others to the Tower, that is. It's just at Kensington. I could be back before the students' lights-out, even.

I'm sure Pyle or Bobolis or Pennifold won't mind going - they didn't last year, after all, so it'll be new to them.

Of course, if you need me to stay then I'll be happy to do so. But it'd be much better if Percy could bring I'd really like to go to Kensington if that's all right.

You've been a most diligent helper (and especially without much of a break between this summer's events) that I'm sure we can work everything out. This crop of students have been quite well behaved, too.

And of course, I know how events like this can be quite important, and especially as Mr. Weasley is establishing his career.

If you can be back by lights out, that would be good, but if it would be difficult for you to leave in time, just leave me a note here so I know when you'll be back.

I'm sure one of your fellows will be glad to pick up a little extra today, but I'd encourage you to find a way to let whoever it is get a little bit of a break as we get everyone off home, if they'd like, just to be fair.

Oh, thank you, Professor!

I've talked to Bletchley and she's happy to go tonight in exchange for early dismissal tomorrow. I'll see everyone home before I go.
