Students -- I must apologise I was unable to mark and return your final essays before the end of term. I will return them with the owls bearing your end-of-term marks.

Deepest condolences, meanwhile, must go to several of Hogwarts' own who have lost a loved one, and in such a sudden and public fashion. I am certain Hogwarts students will rise to the occasion to offer whatever support possible to the Weasley family in their time of grief.

Private Message to Pansy Parkinson

[alt_antonin]

Miss Parkinson,

Your help tonight and your talents in distraction and diversion have been, and continue to be, most appreciated. Your conversational skills are impeccable, as is your talent for knowing when to deploy them. I am certain you did not wish to spend the entire party smoothing over awkward moments -- but I am grateful that you did, and I am certain Lucius and Narcissa would agree.

Regards,
Antonin

Dear Antonin Nikolaevich;

I must admit, I rather enjoyed the opportunity to be useful, because it offered a rather welcome distraction. I've found that working at something tends to be the best way to sort out sadness.

I'm quite sure that without you the party would've been a disaster, and our little chats here and there were one of the highlights of my evening, so I must thank you right back.

All my best,

Pansy
