Dear Mother and Father,
I'm writing you because I'm not really sure what else to do. I've been hearing from some of my friends that the Headmaster sent out a letter about these incidents that have been happening to people in the past few weeks. I hadn't written you before because I was hoping that they might stop or that the Professors might find out what was going on, but so far they aren't. Professor Viridian is leading the investigations and I know he does a bang up job and you know him, Mum, but so far they don't know who is doing it and they're getting worse.
Just yesterday two of my best friends, Regulus, you remember him? And Gertrude Teague (she's the girl I've told you about Mum, that I used to study with?) were both attacked while the rest of us were at Hogsmeade. They don't tell us the full details but I think it's pretty bad. Some are saying a few of the people still haven't woken up! Including the little sister of one of the Muggleborns in Algie's year. Also yesterday a friend of Augusta Prewett's, Elvira Grimstone was attacked as well (along with a sixth year from Ravenclaw, Jameson Kirke). That's four in all, and when Augusta found Elvira she said there was blood everywhere! I don't know why the Ministry hasn't been involved yet Mum, but I'm worried that something is going to happen that is going to lead to someone being killed. I'm surprised no one has yet.
I respect Professor Viridian and Imago immensely, along with the Headmaster, but I don't know that Hogwarts is a safe place for anyone anymore. Before Trudy was hurt, she and I were thinking perhaps this was a German spy, who had either imperioused someone or had somehow managed to sneak back into the castle. Some people are saying it's some of the Slytherins. I don't know what to believe, but it has to stop. Maybe it would help if they had some outside help in the investigation? I know the Ministry is on short staff right now, but it's almost becoming as dangerous to be at Hogwarts as it is to be in Germany just now.
Algie and I are both safe, and I've been trying to study for my OWLS in the midst of all of this. I've also had a huge row with Augus I'm trying to keep my chin up and act like you both would, but I think the time for hoping this would go away has past.
Love,
Mortimer
