Private message to Padma Patil

So, that Oliver Pennyworth bloke that Zabini was writing to.

Do you happen to know if he's the person who manages Zabini's money? (He is someone who manages money for people -- I checked.)

I have a hunch I know why they're suddenly corresponding.

Did you know there's a Spattergroit Research Foundation? And a society for the cultivation of Giant Hogweed and one to protect Bowtruckles?

SO MANY GOOD CAUSES. I'm sure he'll feel a warm glow of satisfaction with his good works, even after the curse wears off.

When is it supposed to wear off, then?

Oh, and by the way, did you do the one on Linus? He was tripping over himself trying to apologise to everyone by late Saturday night but by the time I found him to remove it it was already gone.

(That was another good one, though, even if it was incredibly annoying. I almost wish I'd done anything more than stinging hexes but like I said, I just didn't think Harry it would go over well. And no use making yourself into the one everyone's really trying to get.)

Oh yeah I did the one that made him apologise to everyone for everything. It was actually two hexes, the one that makes you insult yourself plus another one to make him really mean it.

I didn't intend him any real harm, you know, but I reckoned the people who got dropped ought to get hexed. (Besides, he wanted me to insult myself in that blackmail challenge. Turnabout's fair, right?)

The curse on Zabini should wear off sometime this week. Not quite sure when. Keep an ear out for his heartbroken shriek of anguish when he looks at the statement from Gringotts!

I hope the next challenge is as entertaining as this one was.
