Such a difficult evening

alt_umbridgeIt is appalling that even in the very heart of New London, we are not safe from disruption to the work of Our Lord and his diligent servants.
I am so very sorry that I had to be the one to bring the news to Hogwarts that, following the explosive collapse of the very stage upon which Our Lord was scheduled to speak, one of the parents of our own dear students gave his life to protect another.
Knowing that the news should come to them from someone who truly understands the depths of their loss, I was surely the best possible person to tell the Weasley children about the death of their father - such a tragedy. Of course, that sort of terrible tidings is unwelcome whatever the source, but it's lucky I have such sensitivity and care for their feelings, and that I was able to relate to them something of their father's heroism in his last moments.
Boys and girls of Hogwarts, I am certain you will all extend your every effort towards the Weasleys at this difficult time, just as I’m sure every one of the staff here will do. And - after working for so many years with so many people at the Ministry - I’m just certain he will also be missed by his department and the rest of the Ministry staff.
All one united in service, of course.
