School owl from Will Goyle to Arianwen Rosier, dated 14 September 1942...
Warded and sealed:
My dear Miss Rosier,
After some discussion with your fellow Healing students already on the Squad I have decided to place you on the Inquisitorial Squad (which I shall announce at supper) and deputise you to assist Madam Pomfrey in teaching basic triage methods after tonight's drill. I realise this may cause some difficulty for you with Madam Pomfrey however I shall attempt to impress upon my cousin that the safety of the inhabitants of the castle is more important than her opinion regarding the nature of any extracurricular relationship you may or may not have had with any superiors in the Guild. Don't disappoint me.
Sincerely yours,
J Wm GOYLE
Hogwarts Inquisitor.
P.S.: while it may offer you cold comfort I shall present you with an observation which is probably not foreign to you: people are stupid, not logical, and will often throw caltrops into the path of those who could help them most. Even very skilled people. Invariably those who know how to do a job best will from time to time find themselves under the command of those who are rather less competent. Know that you are not the first nor will you be the last to find yourself in such circumstance, and that it does not go unnoticed.
