Dear Professor Dumbledore
When I had asked if perhaps the tournament could be toned down for the sake of everyone involved I had in mind a friendly game of capture the flag, or maybe a spell casting competition, at the very least there could have been a competitive dual that was highly supervised.
I did not mean dragons.
Where did the idea even come from? Bagman, no doubt, but did no one speak out against it? Did none of the individuals tasked with the safety of the participants think that maybe dragons could injure someone?
Again, I urge you to withdraw Mr. Potter from the tournament.
As for Professor Moody, I regrettably cannot act against your unwise decision myself until after the inspection is complete, although I will be sending an urgent letter to the Inspection Inspector, who will no doubt be interested in these goings on.
My inspection on the goblet is still ongoing, though I have not turned up many leads, I do think I am getting closer to finding whomever has tricked it.
I have continued to speak with Professor Moody about it, but I think I may no longer do so, he keeps suggesting the most preposterous methods of investigation. It makes me wonder what the Auror Academy was like when he attended. Although he did graduate whereas I simply dropped out when it became apparent that it was not where my destiny laid. Even so it seems unlikely that I would find evidence of the perpetrator if I were to jump in the lake. Still, it would be best to inspect rather then not. I will most likely bring along my inspection club and make a day of it.
