When Matheu heard that the Astronomy professor has died, he was filled with saddness. He was upset that a professor wouldn't be here at Hogwarts because of the human cycle.
He posted a note on the plague for the professor:
Quote:
Dearest Professor,
I'm sadden by your death. I do not know who it has happened, but I'm sure it wasn't intended. I wish you could have taught us 1st years. I'm sure we would all like you. But on the bright side, at least now you are amongst the stars and galaxies you so taught and studied.
Matheu Cohdi Rivherr, 1st Year, Ravenclaw
