            It troubles me how we left things before you returned to school. I know I’ve hurt you with my connection to Mr. Malfoy. I just hope that you will give me the chance to explain things. Part of it is related to my work in the Ministry, which you know I can’t discuss. But everything I can, I want to tell you. If you’ll let me, of course. Please let me know if we can chat, and I’ll find a way to go up to the school.
