ORDER ONLY
I imagine the next few days will be trying for those of you at Hogwarts after what has been a difficult week. You've done an incredible job, all of you, and I am in awe of what you've accomplished together just in the last few days alone. Justin, I'm glad to hear your interview was unremarkable, and very much hope that trend will continue.
Bill, Rachel, any chatter you can pass along about the investigations at Hogwarts and the Archives would be much appreciated. Thank you for your efforts with Mulciber's paperwork.
We keep learning as we go, and I suppose if this past year has taught us anything, it's that regardless of what we have in mind, sometimes the rest of the world has other plans -- but that we can meet these challenges with flexibility, communication, and teamwork. We'll be meeting once our Hogwarts contingent is home and safe, so we can gather to mourn the loss of Minerva and discuss where we ought to go from here.

Re: Private Message to Hydra and Harry
I feel terrible for Hermione, too, of course. Only maybe it's just my vantage point, but I can't help but feel he's lost more. Or, rather, she's lost those things, too, but it was long ago.
It's really not entirely comparable. He's just very used to not losing.
Maybe I'm speaking too soon. If the kidnapping story sticks, maybe he can come back. But they'll legilimise him thoroughly, if he does, and it won't be me who does it. So it would be very risky for him to return. I'm not sure he could ever regain the status he had before, either.
Thank you for appreciating me. It's nice to hear.
But - I had to learn to value myself long ago. Because if I hadn't, I probably wouldn't have survived.
Re: Private Message to Hydra and Harry
It has been hard for Draco to see that he is indeed worth more than his position of privilege. I fear you're right in that he'll continue to struggle with what he's lost, and what he is now.
At this point, we're not optimistic about his ability to successfully return. You're right -- it would be too risky were he to be thoroughly legilimised.
Hermione will no doubt have her own set of challenges to face, and her own struggles in overcoming them. Seeing Severus kill Minerva, even though it was a mercy, was very hard for her.
