Private Message to Astoria Greengrass and Hydra Lestrange

Miss Greengrass,

I say, I'm sorry to hear you're experiencing difficulties in Defence and Noble Arts lessons. As you said, the salle is only open to those students pursuing their N.E.W.T. in the subjects, and I regret to say I would not consider trying to sway Professors Dolohov and Desai otherwise.

I'm jolly well flattered that you thought of asking me to tutor you, what. It's a wise choice to seek assistance before one's marks show that one's struggling. Unfortunately, my own course load and the additional work I'm doing for the Headmaster do take almost all my available time. I could not possibly do justice to your request. However, I can without hesitation recommend Councilwitch Lestrange as a tutor. One could not ask for a better instructor, what, particularly as she is a year ahead of you and in your own House, besides.

I've taken the liberty of including her here, to alert her that you may be asking for her assistance. I assure you there is no finer choice, but should you for some reason require a 7^th-year student to tutor you, then our Head Boy, Moon, also did exceptionally well on his O.W.L, and in his marks last year, as did Sally-Anne Perks. Either I am sure would be willing to provide you with extra help.

I say, best of luck in improving your marks. I'm jolly well sorry I could not be of more service.

Cordially,

-Finch-Fletchley
