Dear Professor Dumbledore

I spoke with you briefly about Professor Umbridge's 'Teaching Methods' and did, as I said I would, send a letter informing the ministry that she should be removed from her post immediately due to safety reasons.

I have been made no reply as of yet. I am starting to worry that the ministry may already know what Professor Umbridge is doing, and are quite alright with her continuing her cruel and not at all educational classes and subsequent detentions.

But on a lighter note, Merry Christmas. I hope that you are enjoying the festivities. I will be celebrating Christmas by myself. Alone. In my quarters. Perhaps with some fire whisky. Maybe I'll go down to Hogsmeade and try and find Inspecty the dog. Even though I haven't seen him all year, and am quite missing his companionship.
