Sir,

There are some really odd rumours going around Hogwarts today about the School Governors' meeting and the Carrows. Mr Professor Carrow went to the hospital wing yesterday and Professor Brutka taught his classes. In the late afternoon -- well, the stories disagree, but it seems that Mr Malfoy and Miss Professor Carrow fought a duel. No one seems to know for certain what it was about. The maddest story says that she was once in love with him and it had to do with jealousy (!) but there are a dozen other versions. All the stories agree that the duel happened though, and most people are saying they both cast cruciatus. (There are also claims that one or both of them attempted the killing curse, but I KNOW that CANNOT be the case because both were seen alive later in the evening!)

Anyway I guess why I'm writing to you is

I really hate how much Mr Professor Carrow frightens scares upsets makes me nervous. I'm a Gryffindor and I try to be brave and I work hard at Transfiguration (the extra books you gave me help a lot, and the tutoring during holidays) so as not to give him cause to be angry at me but he just gets

You know, I really think he's mad? Really mad, not just pretending. And he's getting madder, and so is Miss Professor Carrow, and I'm worried one of them will do something awful to me not because I DID anything, you know, because I wouldn't. I don't talk back, I always do my homework, everything I'm supposed to, but I'm afraid one of them is going to hurt me just because I'm a half-blood or maybe just because I was there when someone else made them angry. It used to be I was just worried about Mr Professor Carrow but if Miss Professor Carrow attacked Lucius Malfoy (and I really don't think EVERYONE who says so is making it up, no matter what Percy Weasley says, though I understand why he's saying so; he's the Head Boy and we're not allowed to duel in the corridors! it sets a terrible example if a teacher and a school governor did) ...if she did, she's as mad as he is and now I'm worried about her, too.

What should I do?

your loyal and affectionate foster-son,
Seamus
