I trust that certain people with too much time on their hands will think twice in the future before pulling malicious pranks of the sort pulled last night on me.

Thanks again for dealing with it, Professor McGonagall. I'm sorry you were forced to concern yourself with such juvenile antics.

The common room couches may be comfortable to sit in for studying, but take it from me: they wreck havoc with the back if one has to kip on one of them all night.

Ron, I'd also like to apologise to you. I realise that some of the things I said were perhaps a bit . . . intemperate. I was most upset.
