alt_dracoLovegood, do us Prefects a favour: the next time you end up with a completely inappropriate book in lieu of the proper text, discuss the unfortunate mishap in private with the Professor. I've just had to confiscate a copy of Intra Profundis (the wrong one) from a Firstie. He (and you're lucky I'm not naming names, you-know-who) had the bright idea to tuck the book into his Charms text as a disguise, but it actually ended up being a dead giveaway. When one is reading Charms in the common room, they don't usually have three or four of their mates crowded around, trying to elbow their way in for a closer look. Meanwhile, I've handed the book over to Pennifold; she'll see that it ends up where it ought.
While I'm at it, a few of you need to embrace a little thing called the double entendre. And I don't just mean Firsties.
All that said, Dark Arts is going to be brilliant this year. Loads more work all around for most of us, but work of a welcome sort. Thank you for meeting with us individually to consider the various curriculum options, Professor Dolohov.

Date: 2012-09-19 02:11 am (UTC)I didn't want to presume, so I left this bit out of my public post, but it did occur to me... might it be you we have to thank for installing Professor Dolohov in our classrooms? This year's brought so many changes that I wondered if this was one that you had a hand in. If so, I think I can speak for both myself and my peers when I say that it's one we're all thankful for.
I'm much looking forward to the prioritisation of YPL at Hogwarts - at long last - and hope that we can meet soon to discuss my role within the programme.
Sincerely,
Draco Malfoy

Date: 2012-09-19 02:24 am (UTC)It's quite a delight to hear someone so appreciative of my little efforts. As to the appointment of Professor Dolohov, I would love to claim some small part. But while I'm familiar with his work abroad - far more than most, of course - I can only commend Our Lord for his choice, not take credit. I do hope he settles in quickly, without further little missteps that can haunt one's first weeks.
As to the YPL, you are on my list for this week. In fact, I'd particularly like your thoughts on the question Mr Marvolo raised, about the difficulties of late-night astronomy sessions and early Thursday opportunities. Tomorrow at 4, in my office? Otherwise, we may need to wait or split our two hours together up.

Date: 2012-09-19 02:38 am (UTC)My mistake, then. You can understand why I drew such conclusions, I'm sure.
I'd be happy to share my thoughts with you on that matter and more, and indeed, I look forward to hearing more about your vision for the programme. 4 o'clock tomorrow it is.
Sincerely,
Draco Malfoy
