Just because you lot are all on holiday is no reason for the Advanced Transfiguration to skive off on meeting. Wednesday, seven o'clock sharp, in my quarters for tea. I'll be sure to order the cream puffs. Bring your notes. Bode and Laverty, that means all of 'em.

Alecto asked me to remind people of her little event tomorrow night for those who'd expressed interest in the Dark Arts elective. Stop by her quarters at seven o'clock Tuesday, and she'll give you a little taste of what they're all about.

Can't rightly call it a true soiree without tidbit around, but she'll do her level best.

Sir, do people have to come tomorrow night if they're to be considered for Dark Arts? Only I heard that debating society is going to go on meeting, as well, and some people were wondering if they ought to go to Miss Professor Carrow's instead. But then some of the NEWT students said that really Miss Professor Carrow's was only for people who weren't absolutely certain about applying to the class.

So, if you could clarify? I'm sure they'd appreciate it, sir. Thank you.

Unlike some of the other electives, in the case of the Dark Arts, the Professor's approval is required for you to take it. I would suggest that if you wish to take the class, you really should make an effort to attend, as I imagine Miss Professor Carrow will be asking some questions of her own, in order to decide who to admit.

Is that what she's done in other years? Held a session at night, I mean, so she can interview people?

If that's so, it didn't help you any, did it, Weasley? Are there questions we should know how to answer, then? That you got wrong, I mean.

[alt_percy]

This is her usual procedure, yes.

...

Miss Professor Carrow did not choose to inform me of her reasons for rejecting my petition for admittance. I'm sure that she had her reasons, and they were good ones.

I'm sure that she would prefer to hear what you have to say to her questions, without any coaching from me.

[alt_amycus]

As to that....I would suggest that you stop by Alecto's office some time.

[alt_percy]

Sir?

[alt_amycus]

I do believe that she has a little proposal to make to you.

[alt_percy]

Indeed, sir? Well, then of course I shall stop by at my first opportunity. Thank you.

Oh, no. What is that woman up to, anyway?

[alt_padma]

Oh, well, if that's how she usually does it, then that's different.

I mean, I was planning to go anyway, but I'm sure everyone on debate will want to know that they don't want to miss the opportunity.
