Educational Decree Number 24

[alt_umbridge]

Staff are hereby banned from giving students any information that is not strictly related to the subjects they are paid to teach.

In addition to the above decree, I wish to note a staffing change. We are delighted to welcome Healer Luxovius Kerr as our new Healer in Residence. As I noted at supper, he is delighted to join us, bringing his honed and polished skills to the service of the young people of Hogwarts. I'm sure we'll all make him very welcome as he settles into the Infirmary.

Hogwarts Junior Council members: I have a few teensy matters to attend to this evening, but if you have questions about your current duties, you may check at my office.

Private message to Pomona Sprout

[alt_umbridge]

Really, Pomona, I thought you a witch of far better judgement than you have shown yourself to be this year, being as friendly with both Aurora and Poppy as you have been.

I know that it must be your nature - the flaw of our house, really - to see the best in everyone, but you must harden yourself with the reminder of the equal importance of diligent hard work, self-control, and constant effort toward improving one's teensy flaws and errors.

I do trust you take my meaning.

And more to the point, I trust that you will exert every possible influence on Aurora, and bring home to her the likely consequences of her choices. I know she's young, but really, Cordelia manages so much better to work towards our shared goals as a school, and she's even younger.

Now, I also trust you will inform me immediately if you have any sign at all that there are problems I should be aware of, in any area of the school whatsoever. It is your obligation and duty as a senior member of staff, and as Head of House. If you are no longer willing to serve, of course, we could likely arrange some other solution.
