Dear Professor Dumbledore.
The Inspection Club is going strong! We've been inspecting things non-stop with our three (3) night's a week meetings! At first I thought it might be a bit to much for a starting inspector but the children have spoken and they want more inspecting! Yesterday we even went on a special Classroom inspection and we were able to spot the many, many flaws in Professor Lockhart's very own room.
About the dueling Club that Professor Lockhart wish's to start.
It really is laughable about how little the man knows about regulations and forms and all of the things you need filed before a teacher can lead in any sort of non-mandatory extra curricular activity. Especially one that has such a large chance for injuries to occur. I mean, who does he think he is? A Vogon?
Anyway I am sure you were unaware of his intentions until now, and you can quite soundly put a stop to them. I mean he says the students must learn defense because of the petrified student, but why? Does he think whatever is doing this is a maniacal person who is intentionally causing this to happen? Preposterous! It is much more likely that Ms. Norris and Mr. Creevey, simply on accident ate something they were not suppose to. And then a different student decided to take up some holiday cheer and write those horrible things on the wall in the cats blood.
Or instead of something they ate, it could have been something they drank, I think I will take a stroll down to inspect the water quality in a bathroom. I've even heard the students talking about one in particular that's been flooding recently, and that does warrant inspection.
I do hope you speak with Professor Lockhart soon.
