Private Message to Poppy Pomfrey

I have just heard today's news. Is Mr. Inglebee still under your care? If so, I would like to stop in briefly and ask some very pointed questions as to what in the world he was thinking. And attempt to discover who else is responsible, as it is now quite clear this is not an isolated issue.

Private Message to Barty

Dear one -- please say you are free this weekend for at least a brief period; I am in desperate need of time spent with someone who can remind me that I am, in fact, a capable and competent teacher. (Best not to ask. The idiot children have prompted the day from hell.)

I am having a hideous day, my head is throbbing, and I don't have time to run through a dozen books to find the right reference: do you happen to remember offhand which book has the chapter on adapting magic to compel and bind others' magic? I thought it was Daughtery and Smith, but that's not it.
