Dear Professor Dumbledore.
Thank you so much for granting me permission to start the Inspection Club! I have posted flyers on all regulation posting boards and am excitedly awaiting the first scheduled meeting this Saturday evening.
Although it is not strictly apart of the inspection of your school, and therefore not at all within procedure for a normal school inspection, I simply could not pass by this singular opportunity to share my experience and joy of inspection with those young minds who would wish to learn it for themselves.
I am also looking forward to the Halloween feast, I will enjoy inspecting it properly this year (although I am afraid even though you did not mean for it to happen I did have to write the Troll down in my inspection notes, I am very sorry, but it is my job.)
But in more personal news, I was speaking with Professor Lockhart and he challenged me to a costume contest! I mean, really! Does he not consider himself a role model for the students? To be so childish as to challenge me? To a petty costume contest, no less? He even went so far as to write up a list of rules we both had to sign.
And all of it because I questioned his holiday spirit. And I only questioned it because he seemed a little bit startled when I levitated a regulation holiday fake spider over his head.
And it is not as though I am going to decline his challenge, that would just be unkind, and childish as well. Besides, he proclaimed that the winner would be decided by a vote from three teacher judges, and knowing the standard of morals the teachers at this school uphold I have no worries as to who their choice will be.
It is not as though Professor Lockhart won Best Costume four years in a row at his office Halloween parties.
Again, my sincerest thanks.
Cygnus Stixrood, Chief Centennial Inspector, Department For Permits And Filing.
