alt_hermioneHello, Professor McGonagall,
I know you'll say you're not technically a professor anymore but you are to me, and anyways, your office still hasn't opened up to Madam Umbridge and I think that's got to be a sign that the castle knows she's not the real Headmistress and you are.
Did you and Mr Malfoy come and look at the book? Only I know that Madam Pomfrey and Mrs Longbottom were looking for ways to find out if there were any more children born who need to be got out of the camps.
I was wondering if you could do us a favour, though. Harry's found out that the Lord Protector really wants him (Harry, I mean) to get so cross with Madam Umbridge that he'll murder her. Well, he's obviously not going to do that, I mean, he's not going to become a murderer because He wants him to be, but we got to talking about ways that we could get rid of Madam Umbridge that wouldn't be that extreme. And we came up with the idea of a sit-in, where the students would all gather in the Great Hall and refuse to leave.
Only, you know she's been making everyone practically starve, the halfbloods and all, I mean, and we're worried that if we actually organised a protest, she'd cut off everyone's meals and it would fall apart.
But we got to thinking that if the castle thinks you're still the real Headmistress and has kept your office locked, maybe the house-elves would listen if you turned up out of the blue and told them to take their orders from you and not her. So we could make sure that we'd be fed decently if we manage to pull off the sit-in.
Do you think that would be possible?
Oh, and also, when you're in your cat form, can you talk with other cats? Because we've rescued one of the kittens from those horrid plates in her office and we wondered if the kitten could tell us anything about what it's like to be imprisoned, I mean, if it remembers it or was hurt or anything.
I hope you're otherwise welland not drinking and keeping busy. Are you reading anything good? I recently got Harry to stop dragging me with him to his lessons so I've spent loads of time in the library and Madam Pince has been very good about looking the other way when she knows I'm reading in the stacks. Oh, and Mr Snape has been a marvellous teacher. He says that even though I can't sit for the O.W.L.s, he thinks I'm well beyond them in Potions anyhow and we've already gone halfway through his N.E.W.T. material, too. There are some other projects he wants me to work on that I think are probably about that level, but that's only because Harry hasn't had any of those lessons yet so I think they must be very advanced.
It was really good to be able to see you over the holidays. I hope you'll be able to come back to Hogwarts if we get rid of Madam Umbridge.
Oh, and I wondered if you've changed the password to your office because if you haven't, maybe I could go and look at the book for you? Or maybe I can't, I don't remember if you have to be there to look at it yourself.
Sincerely,
Hermione
