Today's events

Hufflepuff Prefects, we're having a meeting immediately after dinner. This will be somewhat short as some of us need to get off to Quidditch practice. The RSs will lead warm ups until we arrive.

I will be either in the library or the Hufflepuff common room all day until supper, if any prefects or students need me.

I've said it before and I will say it again. The prefects are here to help students with any problems they are having. Dealing with the necessary loss of someone you considered a friend can be traumatic. If anyone needs to talk through the friendly deception of traitors, we are available. If anyone has any memories of the traitor Fleet that they might feel they ought to report to the authorities, please come to me and I will pass this along to the proper authorities at a time convenient to them rather than a stream of students interrupting their important work.

Also please keep frivolous visits to the infirmary to a minimum as Professor Dolohov is still convalescing. Of course true medical emergencies should still report promptly.

Private Message to Madam Pomfrey

How would you like the Hufflepuff prefects to deal with anyone who feels they need a sleep aid potion tonight? Send them to the infirmary or have a prefect pick up the number of draughts requested?

Thank you for thinking to ask, Mr Diggory. I always prefer to see a patient before prescribing anything. Even sleep draughts may work harm if given in the wrong situation or at the wrong dosage. I am afraid I really cannot dispense multiple doses to a Prefect for reapportionment.

I have, today, increased the privacy and screening of my examining area in order to provide more of a buffer to insure Professor Dolohov may rest undisturbed by the comings and goings of other patients, so there need be little concern on that score.

If there are students for whom the trip up to the hospital wing seems... unnecessary, I recommend asking the elves for a pot of chamomile or ginger tea or a mixture of the two, depending upon the young person's tolerance of ginger. A plate of their wholesome ginger biscuits would not go amiss, either.

Assure the Prefects and your fellow Head Student that my door is open to you and to the students in your charge at all hours as needed.

Dashing off to Quidditch. I will try to get a pot of tea up the common room as soon as possible and will make sure the people who need care are sent your way.

If there are specific complaints later I will make sure things are taken care of.
