Dear Professor Dumbledore
Peeves has taken to following me around and singing rhymes about what a bad person I am.
I would like to request leave to curse him. Nothing too awful, of course. Maybe just a nose and toe switching jinx?
As you may have already guessed, Peeves is not the true reason I am writing to you. The true reason is actually quite dreadful and very important to the fate of this school's very way of life.
Dolores is trying to get me sacked.
I do not understand it. She is the one that was torturing students! I received just the other day a letter from the Inspector Inspector himself that he had received complaints about me from the inspected!
Usually any complaints are brushed aside, it is not at all uncommon for an Inspected party to try to discredit the Inspector because there is something they do not want coming to light, but Dolores holds quite a bit of sway in the Ministry, and I am very worried for my position.
Perhaps you could send a small letter explaining the circumstances to the Inspector Inspector, to clear all of this up?
I know that you are busy with Dolores as it is, her already accomplishing to sack poor Ex-Professor Trelawney. But if you are able, I would much appreciate the help.
