Private Message to Headmistress Umbridge

Headmistress,

I think we need more HJC people up here, or yourself if you're available.

Fawcett and Jones are in the alcove just down the corridor from Miss Professor Carrow's old office and they're having some sort of squabble.

I could stop them, of course, but I knew you'd want to be informed. Fawcett never said she was leaving the Tower to revise tonight.

Miss Patil, really, is it that critical?

I have dealt with four separate squabbles this afternoon, and Peeves making an absolute mess of many of my files.

Can you not be more specific?

Well, I can't hear Fawcett but Jones just started shrieking at her and she's trying to wave her away. And she said 'You can't trap me, I know this is a test, I'M LOYAL. I'M LOYAL. You can't trap me. I SWEAR I'M LOYAL' and she's a bit hysterical. They don't have wands drawn but Jones looks like she'd pull her hair out. If she could grip anything, her hands look more like claws than fists.

Oh, for Merlin's sake, can't you students be left alone for an evening without some calamity?

I'll be up shortly.
