alt_umbridgeParents of the Protectorate,
I am delighted to announce that last night, our distinguished Board of Governors asked me to step into the role of Headmistress here at darling old Hogwarts. Of course, I was most glad to offer my wand and service to the task, and at lunch took great pleasure in making the announcement to our dear students.
It can be so worrisome to parents when their little ones are away at school. Our children are our future, and it can be difficult to entrust their care to staff who may not know them as we do. And of course one hopes they are exposed to only the best moral influences and role models. Be assured that I take your concerns very seriously, and that I will do my absolute best to see that every child worthy of Hogwarts receives an education fitting to their talents and position. You need have no fear for your most precious treasures!
Over the past months, I have been engaged in deep and wide-ranging conversations with members of the Board, the Ministry staff concerned with education, and with other experts in a variety of fields. I have spent time observing the Hogwarts staff in the classroom, listening to their comments on all matter of topics, and I feel ready and able to take on this greatest challenge of shaping the minds and hearts of the Protectorate’s young people.
I certainly have a great many ideas for improvements in all areas of the school. Nothing will escape close attention, from our curriculum to matters of budget and upkeep. I am so delighted to be working with others who have the best interests of the Protectorate at heart.
Now that does mean that there will be changes over the coming weeks. Some will be internal to the school, but others, I am sure, will receive a broader announcement. For those with questions, I will obviously be quite busy with many things, but I do assure you I’ll read everything asked, and respond when necessary.
