Dear Professor Dumbledore
I completely agree with Professor McGonagall. Professor Moody should be removed from his teaching position here at the school. You are very lucky that Mr. and Ms. Malfoy are so understanding and have decided not to press charges. I mean honestly, has the man gone mad? I remember the great Alastor Moody as a war hero, not someone who would transfigure a boy into a rodent! And for something so small as a friendly school yard scuffle! This cannot be tolerated. Of course you do have final say, but it would look very poorly on you indeed should you take no action on this.
On a lighter note.
Merry Christmas!
I had a fantastic time at the Yule Ball, there was much dancing and laughter and punch. Although I really should have inspected the entire night, I just could not stop myself from taking part in all the festivities.
The ball was splendid, you really did do a excellent job, and of course there was Percy, did you see? Mr. Crouch's Personal Assistant! I cannot believe it! It is just so exciting, I mean, I received a letter from him months ago, telling me of his new position, but to actually see it! Well, I suppose that is enough of my blather, I do apologize, I am just so proud! I am so very grateful you allowed me to start the inspection club, already I have helped a noble young man on his way to greatness.
