alt_penelopeAll right, there, Perce?
Sounds like you've already had a week of it. And it's only Monday!
Mr Crouch was killed and then he wasn't. All those messages in the dead of the night! You'd better have some incredible stories come Hogsmeade weekend or I'll be disappointed.
I've some interesting news for you as well, concerning Professors Lestrange and Sinistra.
And some more disturbing facts about Professor McGonagall but that's hardly a welcome topic.

Date: 2011-10-11 01:44 am (UTC)I'm not sure about having incredible stories...I have to be exceedingly careful about what I say about what goes on in Mr Malfoy's office, you know. But there's no doubt it's all been a wonderful opportunity for me. But there's no doubt it's a challenge. He's charming when he's pleased with what I've done, but he's very...exacting.
I hope things have settled down for you, with the first years at least? And yes, I'm eager to hear whatever gossip you can pass on to me. And to see you, of course!

Date: 2011-10-11 03:58 am (UTC)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.
