It's wonderful news about Auror Crouch, yes. Though we're still wondering what's happened to his mother (and why on earth someone looking like him tried to get in to Ouroborous in the first place).
I don't want you to betray any confidences, of course! But you can tell me about the people you've met and the part you've been playing in all the excitement, can't you? And besides by the time we meet some of it will be public, surely, so you'll be able to talk more freely?
The first years. Well. Fellsworthy and Whitby have certainly eased off but that Symmons girl is a terror. And Drumgoole, Hedigan, Featherstone and Mackrell are still thick as thieves. I rather think Hedigan thinks detentions are as much a lark as your brothers do. Wish I'd known to include her in that first meeting, that's for sure. But they've a week to get it out of their systems before Durmstrang arrives and Beauxbatons. Avery's promised that if the Slytherin cousins persist he'll have another word. Wouldn't do to show the wrong face to our visitors, after all.
Anyway, you ought to know I don't gossip! I only pass along confirmations. Though you may have already heard through your own sources, seeing as one of the parties is your employer's brother-in-law. Or is that brother-in-law-in-law? Well, whatever.
Oh. Look, I know you've got a million more important things on your plate but could you send me your copy of Advanced Arithmantic Calculation? I've checked at F&B twice and it's still back-ordered.
