Private Message to Poppy Pomfrey
Mar. 11th, 2013 07:56 amI must ask: as you have been turned out of your rightful place, what practical assistance might I offer? A place to stay, a position to supplement the pension monies you should receive as your rightful due, assistance in securing that pension should there be question about your entitlement to same? Or, indeed, anything that can ease the stress and hassle of having been forced out of your home and your calling, even slightly.
I would be pleased, for instance, to engage you as my private Healer, whether by matching the salary you have been deprived of through that woman's machinations or at whatever amount of compensation you would request or require. As I do not believe my needs would occupy much of your time in the least, should you be interested I would also support your continuing to provide service to those who have become accustomed to your care (such as Auri or Minerva) or to spend Easter and summer holidays continuing to tutor Miss Perks in service to her career aspirations. (As to that: do be assured I will continue to look out for her well-being; she is one of the students of whom I am inordinately fond and I am aware of that woman's disdain for her.)
In short, I am most livid on your behalf, and while outside considerations may somewhat bind my hands in the short term, I do not wish you to suffer needlessly due to having been removed from your home. I can assure you, steps will be taken to rectify the mess that woman has made of Hogwarts, as soon as those considerations might be managed into compliance. Until such time, however: allow me to stand your champion as much as I might, even if it is only until you are able to make more long-term arrangements. While doing so will in no way approach the debt I owe you, I consider it a matter of honour to provide whatever you might require -- particularly since it was, no doubt, your conscientious care for me, for my fellows at Hogwarts, and for the students whom we have both been directed to serve that caused you to first come under that woman's scrutiny in the first place.
At very least, if there is anything on the grapevine that ought be known about Healer Kerr -- aside from the fact he is clearly more enamoured of the taste of pink shoe leather than one might wish -- do let me know, and I will ensure it is passed discreetly along to the proper ears. Likewise, if there is anything outside the remit of the Matron's duties you have been accustomed to doing to ensure the students' well-being that I might take up in your stead, you have only to say the word.
At your service,
Antosha
