Professor,

This might be a strange question but... how well do you know Auror Pugh?

Only, he sent me an owl recently and--well, he's asking for help. As a Councilwitch, I mean. I'm not sure I should trust him, or whether I should assume this is a test and I'm being, what's the term, set up?

I don't want to get anyone in trouble, though. Not if it's just a big misunderstanding. Which I'm sure it is.

It has to be.

Is he--I mean, is it possible that someone would use him to trick me into doing something that would make my family and the Council look bad? Or you, since people know you're something of a sponsor for me. I guess that's possible, even more likely than going after me directly.

What do you think I should do?

Well, that's more or less what I thought, I just wanted to be a bit more informed before I did anything that might have serious consequences.

I mean, I'm sure there's a reasonable explanation, so I'm not worried about that part at all. I just wanted to make sure that Auror Pugh wouldn't start to go mad torturing people left and right in the middle of the Hospital Wing, or anything.

I'll write him back, then.

Ah, no. Not his style at all.
