Dear Professor Dumbledore

I had a fantastic time chatting with Dolores, she has the most charming set of plates that have kittens on them.

She really is a most excellent conversationalist . Why, we talked for hours! I learned that she really is very interested in the job of an Inspector, when she first started out in the Department For Permits And Filing that was her main goal but decided against it when offered the position that would one day lead to her being Senior Undersecretary to the Minister. She wanted to know everything about what I have Inspected so far, and all about the life of an Inspector, she even wanted to see my Report, to see the work that a top notch Inspector like myself produces. I think she was trying to make me blush with all the compliments.

But I declined to show the Report to her. It is highly unprofessional for me to share an unfinished Report with anyone other then the Inspection Inspector. And even then it hardly happens at all.

We are going to have tea again this Sunday, she says that she has a special announcement for the school that she wants me to hear first. I cannot wait!

Cygnus Stixrood, Chief Centennial Inspector, Department For Permits And Filing

P.S. Oh dear, I forgot to even ask her about her credentials! I will make sure to remember to do so this Sunday.
