Various matters

alt_umbridgeI am deeply disappointed in the actions of Mr Linus Moon and Miss Lavender Brown. Both have been removed as members of the Hogwarts Junior Council, and I am reviewing whether either of them should have additional punishment beyond that already applied.
Now, dear boys and girls, I so deeply appreciate those of you who gave me such thorough and detailed accountings of your holidays. Mr Diggory and Miss Pennifold set good examples, while Mr Finnigan, Miss Calderwood, Miss Robins, and Miss Rohani turned in truly exemplary reports. Mr Fred and George Weasley, I was quite surprised by your attention to detail - I wonder if you might encourage your brother and sister to do better. (Mr Ron Weasley, I expect to see you in my office at 4pm.)
Miss Lovegood, Mr Malfoy, Mr Marks, McLaggen, Mr Montague, Miss Postlethwaite - kindly plan to come see me at your earliest opportunity about your submissions. Also Miss Jones. Mr Crabbe and Mr Goyle, please come see me on Thursday at 1pm to discuss your deplorable writing ability.
I will be following up with those of you - including staff - who did not make a thorough report, as I review each and every essay. Naturally, this may take a couple of days, as I am just so very busy with all manner of other tasks. And I do see that some of you spent quite a lot of time together, and I do want to compare what you said about it. No detail is too small, dear children, to be important.
I remind you that we do have tutors in attendance (kindly report them immediately to the HJC members on duty should you see any unexpected or inappropriate behaviour), and that each and every one of you is expected to follow all my teensy rules and regulations, or there will indeed be consequences. I also remind those of you with locked items that it is imperative you be ready at your assigned time, or I will be forced to assume you do, in fact, have something to hide that requires correction and instruction.

Private message to Lavender Brown
Date: 2013-04-17 01:28 pm (UTC)But it is your duty, my dear, to resist that temptation, to hold true and strong to what you know is right and proper. Now, I think back to your first year, and how dear Parvati Patil was blessed and honoured to lure the unicorn to her, through her tender and delicate purity.
Ask yourself, dear, how much better it would be to preserve that selflessness and continence in yourself, to be a beacon shining to others of the right and best way to behave. You have been misled, but you might yet redeem yourself, were you to truly apply yourself to mending your ways. Professor Carpenter speaks so very highly of you, too, and I would hate for her to be disappointed by your little flaws.
Now, if you are willing and ready to renounce your foolishness completely, and to work entirely with me to allow me to shape you to better ends, we might be able to arrange for you to rejoin the HJC next fall. Perhaps.

But it was only the one time, and we've really been very good up til now.
Could you please find it in your heart to reconsider any other teensy corrections you might have for us?
I simply can't go to lessons this way!Sincerely and penitently,
Lavender Brown

However, any sign you are shirking your proper instruction and I will be forced to take further steps.
The current punishments stand.
