I don't feel good.

But Scorpus is bofferin' me!

Dear Remus,

I had meant to bring this up with you Saturday last, but then Headmaster Snape's party seemed less than an ideal spot to conduct business. I am afraid that I must beseech you to return to your job at the Hogwarts library as soon as you can. I am sure you have much better things to do with your time, and I myself was rather tempted to remain in retirement. But the library is in terrible condition and will require us all to pitch in for at least the next few weeks - long enough to see the students through their OWLS and NEWTS - and after that, well, as long as you like, really.

Let me know as soon as you can, please. Hope all is well with you and yours,

Sincerely,

Irma Pince


p.s. Please don't be scared off by this news, but in brief, the troubles at the library include the aftermath of a new sorting and indexing charm which that woman attempted to place on the unrestricted section to prevent first-year students looking at illustrations of certain textbooks, and also to shelve the books according to the colors of their spines. Further, we have received a small donation of textbooks in a Muggle speciality called Forensic Accounting from the Weasley twins, which in themselves seem harmless enough, but which contain some rather worrying bookplates. And then there is the damage wrought by Professor Binns, who used our absence as an excuse to move as many school-related documents from the Restricted Section to his private files as he could. He meant well, I am sure, but he's not a librarian. And then something has gone slightly awry with the New Acquisitions spell, such that we're receiving doubles of everything from Flourish and Blotts, but nothing at all of several periodicals and journals. At any rate, you can see that we will have to take great care with the reshelving, to say the least.

Dear Albus,

In your capacity as head of the Wizangamot, you should know about an odd occurrence yesterday afternoon. I was quite suddenly brought to from my sister's kitchen in Nova Scotia to the member's entrance of the Wizangamot's chambers, much as if I had taken hold of a Portkey. Had I not been dressed in one of my sister's housecoats, I might have been less flustered by this, but as it was it took me some minutes to recall that I have been, for years, an alternate member of the Wizangamot. Of course at that point I understood that I had been summoned to replace a suddenly incapacitated member. At any rate, the young people guarding the entrance to the chambers informed me that, as a member of the Wizangamot had just died in mysterious circumstances, I could not enter the chamber - although one of them was kind enough to arrange for the loan of a robe. Shortly after that I encountered Auror Moody, who arranged for a international portkey back to Canada.

So this is to excuse my absence from last night's session of the Wizangamot. I would have been there had I not been prevented from entering at wand-point, as you see. I see from this morning's international edition of the Daily Prophet that, in any case, the reason for the meeting had been obviated by the time I arrived, so I hope I may be forgiven.

I hope that you are well and not too inconvenienced by the events of last night. Please convey my sympathies to any who might be feeling the loss of Miss Umbridge.

All best,

Irma Pince

But I like these shoes.

How many of those have you had?

God, it's crowded tonight. Next round one of you two are going up. I had to flash my tits to get through.

I believe I'm expected?

My card.

Hello.

What are you selling. I might buy some.

But I don't wanna nap.

*the sound of small running feet*

DADA Dada Dada!

Dada go now!

No!

NO. Pius WON'T!
