The Transfiguration Mud and Fire Incident

[alt_mcgonagall]

I am uninterested in further discussing the Mud and Fire Incident. Despite whatever rumours you may have heard, no child has died; no person has been seriously injured. However, it seems wise to announce that Professor Lockhart shall be teaching both his own classes and Professor Amycus Carrow's for the time being.

All the second-year Gryffindors present in the class are hereby assigned to write a twelve-inch parchment about 'Why I Ought Not Damage School Property.'

Thank you, Minerva. I received an owl from Draco this morning, telling me Marvolo's side of the events.

Doubtless this shall be a topic of some discussion at next week's Governors' meeting. I believe you know my views and I trust this ... incident ... will only serve to further our mutual goals.

In addition, as you know, I shall see Our Lord this afternoon and could, if you wish, gauge His temperature on the matter.

I would greatly appreciate that, Lucius. I did allow young Marvolo to make a Floo call to his father last night, as he was quite distraught. I would imagine that He is quite displeased with the Professors Carrow, and I can't say I blame him.
