More news - Thanks to the Lord Protector!

[alt_daphne]

What tremendous news from yesterday's session in court! Even during summer hols, I'm sure that the Hogwarts' student body is overcome with excitement to learn that our Lord has chosen to bestow his highest honour to three of our fellows. Padma, Seamus, and Hydra, you have my deepest admiration and congratulations for having been initiated into the Lord's council. I know that the challenges you faced were difficult beyond measure, but you have proven yourselves worthy in all respects.

We have suffered loses of late, loses that have, for some of us, left behind a great deal of pain. Time marches forward with little regard for our pain, but in that pain it is comforting to be reminded that our Lord's grace can heal the greatest of ills.

Truly, it is heartening to know that the Lord Protector's grace falls so unwaveringly upon those of us in the younger generations. The future of the Protectorate lies in our hands, and all are counting on us to do what's good and right.

Now, for those of you who knew her, I'm happy to report that Samantha Montgomery has been released from St. Mungos and will be convalescing at her family's home in Cheshire. Her family is waiting to see how she adjusts to being at home before they will allow for visitors. Meanwhile, I'm sure that she would love to receive your cards and letters.

I hope the summer is treating you all very well.

There's NO WAY I'll ever let that swotty, knock-kneed slag be Head Girl!!

Yeah. I'm really proud of Hogwarts and the new Council members.

And, yeah. A lot has happened recently, some of it sad and disturbing, so I think this was a really great reminder of what we're all aiming for. Our Lord showed us how lucky we are, living here.


I didn't know Montgomery was still in hospital all this time. D'you think her family need anything?

Thank you, Daphne. I'm sure that if Draco had been able to escape, he would have been honoured first among us. It's so tragic to think how bright his future should have been and how cruelly it was cut short. I know you were close and I'm so sorry for your loss.

I'm glad to hear Sam's doing well enough to go home. Thank you very much for the update and I'll be sure to write to her this week.

You're very involved in Lizzie's wedding, aren't you? Pavs' wedding is coming up soon, too. Around Freedom Day. I'm sure you have loads to do but we should get together before the summer's over (and I'm sure it will be before any of us realise it!). You've always been a huge asset to Slytherin and to Hogwarts and I hope we'll continue to work well together to provide leadership and guidance to the students next year.
