First Petal

It has come to the Ministry's, and therefore my, attention that Hogwarts is in need of some... Assistance. Given the Headmaster's unfortunate inability to keep things under control at camp and even now under his very own roof, the Ministry has seen fit to appoint me High Inquisitor.

I can assure you that this is a very good thing, despite what you may be thinking and on behalf of the Ministry I would like to formally apologize for the events at camp. It is unfortunate that his carelessness would result in such an unfortunate occurrence. I can assure you that while I'm here, none of you will get so out of control.

You may have heard that it was dark magic responsible, but I can promise you that this was a lie made up only to justify a few rowdy teenagers. This will not be tolerated while I'm here, believe me. Everyone's safety is of my utmost concern, and it's up to me to prune the thorny hedges and keep everything nice and orderly.

With that said, I do not tolerate disobedience of any kind, and if I catch any kind of behaviour like what was displayed at camp, the consequences will be severe. This is the only warning I am going to give anyone. I fully expect to get along with every student here, however, so do not let my faith go unrewarded.

Finally, along with my position as High Inquisitor, I have also been appointed Herbology Professor. But considering the importance of the position, it would be best for you to refer to me as Inquisitor Snow rather than Professor.

Welc9me t9 H9gwarts, Inquisit9r Sn9w. 9r perhaps welc9me 6ack, I d9 n9t presume t9 kn9w 9r judge y9u 9n where y9u went t9 sch99l y9urself.

I am certain that y9u will have n9 pr96lem w9rking with y9ur fell9w staff mem6ers, as they are for the m9st part a very pers9na6le and c99perative 6unch. I sh9uld h9pe y9u are willing t9 acc9unt f9r a reas9na6le am9unt 9f harmless t9mf99lery and shenanigans, as these are in fact children y9u are dealing with, n9t miniature adults. I appreciate the initiative that the Ministry has taken in sending a representative t9 the sch99l t9 cur6 future incidents, 6ut I 6elieve that it is n9t really as 6ig 9f an issue as the Ministry has made it 9ut t9 6e. With all due respect, Headmaster Dum6led9re is a highly respected and talented wizard, f9r g99d reas9n. He has never acted in anything 6ut the sch99l's 6est interest, and t9 attempt t9 paint him as an irresp9nsi6le caretaker in 9rder t9 inflate y9ur 9wn damaged sense 9f self-w9rth reeks 9f privilege that is quite frankly setting a p99r example f9r the same students y9u are here t9 instruct. We all must 6e the change we wish t9 see in the next generati9n, Inquisit9r Sn9w, and if y9u want the students t9 sh9w respect f9r their pr9fess9rs then it w9uld 6eh99ve y9u t9 sh9w respect t9 y9ur elders as well.

A6s9lutely, 6ut the fact remains that the harder that y9u push any gr9up 9f pe9ple, the harder they will push 6ack. I'm afraid that's a 6asic fact 9f human nature, Sir, and it w9uld 6e in p99r taste t9 alienate 9r 9therwise 9ffend any 9f the pe9ple y9u will 6e dealing with 9n a regular 6asis. Deity 9f y9ur preference willing, the situati9n will s99n 6e in hand and y9ur direct interventi9n will n9 l9nger 6e required, 6ut nevertheless human hist9ry will sh9w that even the m9st 9ppressive regimes have th9se wh9 are unafraid t9 6e an example and stand up t9 them.

I'm s9rry, I had n9 idea that Dum6led9re was expected t9 6e a6le t9 c9ntr9l the acti9ns 9f all students at all times. I will theref9re assume y9u p9ssess the same 9mnip9tence that y9u expect him t9 have. Mind, I am n9t 6y any means excusing the acti9ns 9f the student 69dy, h9wever severe their crime, 6ut if y9u are g9ing t9 assign 6lame t9 Dum6led9re, then is the Ministry n9t als9 at fault? As far as I can recall, the student wh9 cast the Unf9rgiva6le was never f9und, despite the fact that Dum6led9re c99perated fully with the Ministry's investigati9n.

And if the incident at camp was n9t due t9 dark magic, then why is it that n9ne 9f the perpetrating students were punished? Perhaps that is merely the line 6eing f9rce-fed t9 the pu6lic 6y the privileged few in 9rder t9 quell the rum9rs 9f dark magic s9 s99n after the end 9f the utterly unf9rtunate and disastr9us war that had ravaged 6ritain's wizarding c9mmunity f9r s9 many years. Perhaps even the all-p9werful Ministry is unwilling t9 make a handful of t9rmented children suffer m9re after they were c9nfr9nted with the kn9wledge 9f what they had d9ne t9 their friends and classmates.

I'm n9 9ne 9f imp9rtance, Sir, I assure y9u. A transc9rp9real trace 9f humanity trapped 6etween this w9rld and the next.

My ap9l9gies, Salvad9r. Karkat has already appr9ached me with his c9ncerns, and in deference to 69th 9f y9ur wishes, I will reign in my t9ngue f9r the m9ment.

I am aware that every9ne likely has their redeema6le qualities, h9wever I will also reserve the right t9 say that I d9n't like this man at all. His victim-6laming c9mplex is extremely pr96lematic, and 6elieve me when I say that I will 6e n9where near as diligent with rep9rting the acti9ns 9f Peeves in the future, and may in fact distract the Bar9n while he w9rks his mischief.

[His hand is shakier now.]

It's clearly a p9litical m9ve. T9 have such a disastr9us incident 9ccur s9 s99n after the lauded end 9f such a l9ng and bl99dy struggle is 9bvi9usly danger9us f9r the pu6lic relati9ns 9f the Ministry. F9rce-feeding lies t9 the masses has 6een a trick 9f the privileged few f9r as l9ng as there have 6een g9vernments wh9 feel the need t9 su6jugate their pe9ple.

Even still, if the Ministry dares try t9 punish th9se inn9cent students in an eff9rt t9 keep up appearances, I cann9t 6e held resp9nsi6le f9r my acti9ns. 9r my w9rds. I kn9w all t99 well the c9nsequences 9f feeling resp9nsi6le f9r harm c9ming t9 a fell9w student, and t9 see p9liticians c9mp9unding up9n that w9uld make me, f9r lack 9f a 6etter phrase, angry enough t9 manage a quite impressively acr96atic pir9uette 9ff 9f the nearest availa6le handle-like surface and int9 a 69iling vat 9f my 9wn liquid rage.

THAT MUCH IS OBVIOUS. PRACTICALLY EVERYTHING THE MINISTRY DOES AT THE MOMENT IS PURE POLITICS SINCE THE END OF THE WAR.

I'LL HAVE A TALK WITH THE OTHER TEACHERS. IF HE SO MUCH AS MENTIONS PUNISHING THE CHILDREN WHO WERE EFFECTED AT CAMP, WE CAN STEP IN AND TAKE OVER WHATEVER HE HAS PLANNED IN HIS PLACE, DO SOMETHING CONSTRUCTIVE FOR THEM. MAYBE SOME GROUP THERAPY OR ARTS AND CRAFTS, SOMETHING FOR THEM SO THEY KNOW THEY'RE NOT BEING PUNISHED FOR THINGS THAT AREN'T THEIR FAULT.
