Private Message to Miss Perks and Professor Sinistra

[alt_poppy]

Miss Perks,

I enjoyed our tea yesterday afternoon, and I'm very pleased that the Quidditch, despite its going long, did not prevent your visit. (I've now been treated to a great many accounts of just how exciting a win it was for Slytherin House, and I must say it would have been a great shame had you missed the white-knuckle race for the Snitch that ended it.)

If you have any further questions for me, I would be most pleased to answer them or to refer you to others who can. And, of course, if you require a character reference or a professional assessment of your potential for entering the field, please know that I will be happy to supply it.

Private message to Poppy Pomfrey

Poppy -

Thank you for your kindness in taking time to speak with Miss Perks. As I know I've said before to you, she's one of the brightest in her class, and I would love to see her succeed in her goals as much as possible, given the unfortunate limitations of her parentage.

Tea tomorrow? I've got a few things I'd love to chat with you about, and I'll need a break from marking sometime around then. Mum's sent along a few charms and recipes she dug up from an old diary she thought you might also find interesting.

Tea tomorrow would be lovely, and I'll be most interested to see what your Mother has sent. She has a knack for recovering lost resources and wise practices that merit reviving.

Would four o'clock suit?

As for Miss Perks, I quite agree about her abilities and merit. I will do whatever I may to help her along her way. Fortunately, she is quite clear-sighted about the difficulties she may face.

Four would be excellent.

I do hope the end of term chaos is finally letting up for you. I've been up to my ears in students who are certain they've failed their OWLs or NEWTs and that the world has ended (and why is it always the students who actually do fairly well who fret about that, rather than the ones who should be worried?)

At any rate, a break will be quite nice.
