Governors' Meeting
May. 7th, 2009 02:32 pmMinerva,
I apologise for not responding to your request earlier. As you may imagine, the last two weeks have been extremely full.
However, Crispin has reviewed my agenda and I shall be able to visit Hogwarts Monday next, if you can make yourself available. I realise that may put you at a scramble to arrange whatever it is you need to arrange in advance of the Governors' meeting, but that is simply the soonest I can manage.
And am I given to understand that this rash of hexing has been disrupting lessons? Perhaps your Prefecture ought to concentrate its efforts on assisting the unfortunate victims with their defence rather than complaining that their charges are unable to shield themselves adequately. You do have a Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher, do you not? What, if anything, has he managed to teach his pupils in the last eight months? Why are not the other professors able to detect and eliminate the unauthorised use of magic in their classrooms?
If this is merely a case of spring fever, then clearly, the student body have not enough other activity to occupy it. Invariably that is the source of mischief amongst the young.
