Dear Professor Umbridge,

I don't like you but I was raised by my mother to respect 'authority' in all its forms.

Why did you attack Professor McGonagall when she can turn into a tabby cat? I know you like cats, if your office is anything to go by. are you just prejudiced against tabby cats or something? (how could anyone be prejudiced against tabby cats? I'm allergic to cats but tabbies like Professor McGonagall's animagus form are my favourite breed of cat)

sincerely,

a curious Slytherin bat

Dear a curious Slytherin bat,

-hem, hem- Simply from you're letter I can tell I'm not going to like you either and I greatly dislike your use of quotation marks around the word authority, I'll have you know I was high inquisitor, undersecretary to the minister of magic, and for a time, headmistress of Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry! So far as I'm concerned that is definitely authority.

As for Professor McGonagall, I did not attack her at all; it was a pure misunderstanding and accident. She should never have been there in the first place. I hold no prejudice against cats whatsoever, what a ridiculous question. If you were in my class you would have received a detention for this absurdity!

Yours faithfully,

Madam Undersecretary to Cornelius Fudge, Minister of Magic

Dolores Jane Umbridge
