Private Message to Ernie and Pansy

Scheduling the memorial during the second week of term is quite prudent, yes, thank you. It is best to let the excitement of Sorting Hat and Welcoming Feast ebb a bit before dealing with more somber and solemn matters, and yet deal promptly rather than having the event looming ahead in the distant weeks. In any case, it shall be a dignified memorial and most proper to the setting, and focussing on the future of Hogwarts will be quite appropriate and uplifting and suitable. And, of course, when the family finances and inheritances get sorted, there will be some manner of Moon memorial gift for the good of the school.

Thank you again for your work in planning this. I would have been -- I was! -- entirely at sea in trying to handle any of it myself.

Abbotts, Jugsons, Greengrasses -- have we more for the list that we ought include? Governors and students? Perhaps a reading of names would be fitting.

No matter what, we'll have a memorial in May for those lost in the Battle of Hogwarts that'll be more focused on all that, but we could make space to recognise the people everyone has recently lost. I think the more we do that, the better. And yes, I'll check with the Rickett and Peakes families. We might have a moment for Madame Rosmerta, too. I know a lot of the older students remember her fondly.

And blimey. The Sandovals. I'll get on that too.
