Headmistress Umbridge would appreciate a letter confirming the dates and times of the Astronomy textbook committee meetings as well as my other obligations at the Guild. At your earliest convenience, please. It’s taken me a few days to be able to ask.

I am mindful of the conversation we had on the 2nd of last month, and your comments then. “Gelernt ist gelernt”, as you say. I would like to explore some of what we talked about then further, should time and space allow in the future, and I would appreciate any advice or help you might offer there.
