Condolences

Unfortunate news in the Prophet today. It seems that Julius Avery, former head boy and current council member, fell victim to a wand cleaning mishap that took his life. Avery was an upstanding citizen of the Protectorate and would have surely shaped the future of Britain in numerous beneficial ways. His death is a tragic loss to us all, and I offer my sympathies to his surviving family and friends.

Of course, for those of you who were sponsored by Avery in the council challenge, this must be a particularly painful loss that strikes close to your hearts. No doubt the other sponsors are, at this very moment, devising a plan to keep you in contention for council membership.

On a personal note, Avery was a Slytherin role-model to all in our house, and in my younger years I frequently consulted him for advice and guidance on all manner of things. I am sure to feel the loss of his association in the years to come, and I know others of you will, as well.

I only have third hand reports about Avery's death. I understand that your father gave an accounting of the events with Avery at Court.

Glendower stuck his wand where it didn't belong and broke it off.

We are so far removed in the Scottish Highlands, your father remains more connected to events in New London.

Bode made game ending mistakes and paid the price.

As always my door is open to you if you want to talk about the few more details I have. Barty bragged shared a bit more.
