Dear Professor Dumbledore

After hearing Professor Umbridge's speech during the welcoming feast this evening, I think I have it at least partly figured out.

Her words were that of an aspiring Inspector!

I do not know why one would be sent here under the pretense of being a Professor, or why one would be sent at all while I am here, but there can be no mistake, many a new hotheaded young Inspector has said roughly the same to me in the past. Sadly, they think it is the Inspector's task to inspect and decide what is regulation and what is not, and then 'prune what needs pruning' I believe her words were. But in reality, it is the Inspector's duty to discover all they can about the regulations, infractions on regulations, health hazards, and any number of variables of the Inspected, and make a through report in a unbiased and calm manner.

I am not condemning her passion for inspecting, in fact it is rather heartening to see it. However, I will speak to her about it, and explain that there are guidelines that Inspectors must follow.

Also I will find out why she is here, of course.

Excited for yet another year full of inspection.
