Ptolemy,
Dean Thomas, one of your candidates for Our Lord's challenge, has been found dead in the Hogwarts attics, having broken my wards -- which I strengthened after an attempt last week -- and stolen one of my more dangerous texts to attempt to cast something out of it.
I had intended to ask you why you set him that task without informing me, or if he had misinterpreted one of your instructions, but information I have been given elsewhere suggests that this was not a formal challenge. Can you (or Mr Marvolo, who is copied on this message for informational purposes) confirm that? I will pursue matters further with the lead I have been given about what could have transpired, but your assurance that this was not a sanctioned challenge from Thomas's sponsor will help.
In service,
A.
