Considering the events of Dufftown, this feast couldn't come any sooner for the man. He was always ready for the summer holidays by the time the last few weeks of the school year arrived but this term, he was more than ready for a long, peaceful holiday. Possibly at a beach of some sort with something strong to drink.

Reaching the Dias, he decided to greet Regina first with a simple, "Looking great as always, Regina." A swift, dimpled smile was given before he moved to take his usual seat right next to Laurel. "Hey, Laurel. Glad to see that you've made a full recovery." Smile. "Congratulations on the win, by the way. You must be very proud of your house." It was hard to miss the green decorations, after all.

Oh, and will you look at that? There was no one else at the table, meaning that he was either early or everyone else was running late.

Viktor Sokolov would be proud.


It was a rare sight to see an owl enter during one of Hogwarts' great feasts. However, the matter had been quite pressing, and those at the ministry had deemed it necessary to avoid stalling this particular matter. The grey medium-sized owl flapped though the hall, dropped a letter in front of a certain Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, and flapped away. The letter luckily came before the speech, so there was no food it could have dropped into.

The letter was sealed with the Ministry emblem as well as addressed to Roderick Hirsch.

It read,

To Mr. Roderik Hirsch,

It has come to my attention that you created illegal and unapproved portkeys in a recent debacle that happened in Dufftown in order to quickly and efficiently transport students back to the castle.

While being a hero is admirable, it is questionable whether you are trained in making portkeys. It was an emergency, so no legal action will be taken, but you have been summoned to the Department of Magical Transportation at the Ministry of Magic. You must come by the date of July 3, and no later. Failure to do so will force my hand at taking legal action. It was very risky and quite dangerous to make an unauthorized portkey, and we here on Level 6 would like to ensure that this does not happen again.

Sincerely,

Lynley Purcell
Magical Transportation Department Head
