A few reminders

[alt_umbridge]

I am well aware that many of you are looking forward to Hogsmeade tomorrow. However, I must underscore that your best behaviour and compliance with our teensy rules and requirements is essential. (On that note, I remind Mr Belisarius Burbage, Miss Paula Ross, Mr Minh Nguyen, Miss Ginevra Weasley, and Mr Edward Carmichael that their punishments include being barred from tomorrow's little outing.)

I have had a word with the house-elves and clarified once again what may be given out as treats for familiars, and what may not. Those attempting to cajole the house-elves into some other set of options will find themselves facing strong correction.

I have been informed of our current Minister of Magic's agreement to allow private tutors to assist select students here at school. Tutors, kindly make myself and Septima Vector (who will be coordinating details and schedules) aware of your planned schedule of visits. I am sure you understand that for reasons of both supervision and security, we must be entirely aware of when there are strangers in the castle.

I trust that this is sufficient detail for the most annoyingly persistent of you

I do wish to commend those students who have given generously of their time and energy - particularly those on the Hogwarts Junior Council. I wish more of you might emulate the example of Miss Megan Jones, who found me today to volunteer to stay behind from Hogsmeade and assist in the supervision of younger students.

I trust that the Revue tonight will be informative, pleasant, and entirely appropriate, and that all of you will behave with due attention to the diligent efforts of the cast and crew. Again, I hope I need not spell out the consequences if anyone does otherwise.

Though come to think of it we should talk to the Twins. They MAKE fireworks. Better than anything Zonko sells -- they shot some off last year for my birthday, remember that? I don't know what they need to make them, though.

Ron, can you ask them?

Will do.

I'll take a bracelet. And I'll go into Zonko's to see if there's anything else that could cause a distraction or diversion.

Sorry. I've been a bit distracted today.

I can take a bracelet, too, and I'll do some shopping for food. I actually have more pocket money than usual at the moment.
