A Notice Tacked To All of the Bedroom Doors This Evening
Dear students and alumni alike,

If it hasn't been made apparent by now then I feel it has been lacking of me not to tell you all sooner. As Headmistress it is my duty first and foremost to take care of my students but today there were extenuating circumstances. Some of you may have noticed I was not and dinner, thus not being able to speak on any of this, yet I feel you should not go to bed with worry on your minds. Today during Dark Claw's practice right before dinner there was an accident with Madame Hooch that I had to attend to urgently. Do not be misled into believing that it was any Quidditch players fault, in fact she was far enough away to barely even be considered observing them. The magic in her broom went erratic for a moment, though Madame Pomfrey and Madame Spinnet were able to keep her in steady health her injuries were too great that the need to be attended to at St. Mungo's to which I delivered her to their door's with Auror Chang.

This incident is being investigated and until it is solved or at least we are given the ok, magic is not allowed to be used in class or otherwise by anyone attending or teaching at the Sangster Institution. Your classes will be taught as lectures only and Quidditch practices will still take place, just consider them more of a physical training then actual practice. I've arranged for there to be a new Quidditch Referee and Coach as well as a Broom Instructor. Mr. Roger Davies, alumni and former Captain himself is graciously willing to fill in.

Again I am truly sorry for the inconvenience, but please remember you are not the only one affect by this, all the students are, as well as the teachers, in the same proverbial boat. I expect no griping while I'm absent or when I return on Wednesday after a meeting with Minister Shacklebolt.

Sincerely,

Minerva McGonagall
Headmistress of the Sangster Institution
