Private Message Regarding Prefect Business to Cedric Diggory

There was a bit of an incident I should tell you about, but all trouble has, I believe, been averted. Earlier I caught some of the fellows -- well, it was Warrington and Nott and Inglebee, but I believe Pucey was somewhere nearby -- teasing some of the Magical Creatures. Taking various helpful advice to heart, I spoke frankly with them man-to-man, pointing out that Madam Umbridge is very busy and is assuredly in no mood to be lenient with mischief, and stating confidently that I was certain their good sense would keep them from anything ill-advised for which a Prefect would be obliged to report them.

Thank you for your encouraging words on proper Prefecting. I do appreciate it, and I think you'd have approved of how I handled things tonight.
