A tragic loss
Nov. 8th, 2012 10:20 pmDear boys and girls of Hogwarts,
It is my sad duty to inform you that Master Glaucus Gibbon (one of Our Lord’s Council Members and leader of the Sons of Wizardry group) was killed in the recent violence in Ireland. I understand from my contacts that his death was during the devastating explosion at the Galway waterfront, and that it is only within the past day that his body was identified.
Though Master Gibbon had no family of his own, he often saw his duty to the YPL as a legacy, and spoke fondly of the young wizards under his tutelage. He was just so very proud of seeing each and every one of the halfblood students he was working with learn and grow in understanding and skill, ready to make the most of their place in the Protectorate.
Now, due to this and other circumstances, we have decided that it would be best to put the Sisters in Witchcraft and Sons of Wizardry programmes on hiatus for the time being. And likewise, given the upheavals in the school this week, we have decided it would be best to hold off on the planned CCF activity for this weekend.
To that end, I would ask all of the Sisters in Witchcraft and Sons of Wizardry students to gather on Sunday at 2pm for one final session. Please meet at my office, and we will escort you from there. You will have some time to write letters to those adults involved in the programmes (especially the work of Mrs Malfoy in the foundation of the programme) as well as bring closure to your experience.
All other students, I’d ask you to spend the time in some suitable improving activity. We will meet again as a full group on November 25th. (Counsellors may expect a meeting with me the week before, as we will be making some adjustments to previous plans.)
