[His handwriting is just the slightest bit shaky, and the strikethrough is a bunch of messy inkblots and scribbles in this entry - if one really cares to try, they can probably make out a the gist of what was written.]

I can't believe something like this happened here of all places... and for no one to know who did it, or why, or... I suppose I should try to be reassuring... It's what I am supposed to do, right?

Ah... I do hate to be the reminder of bad news, considering everyone seems to be getting on fine with their planning for Valentine's and Hogsmeade and other such fun studently things, but that doesn't change the fact that someone still used an unforgivable curse, and we still don't know who that someone was.

So I feel like I should remind you that I am always open to talk to, just stay after class if you're in mine, or come knock on my door, or both, or... or neither, if you don't want! But...

Just be safe, hm?

Professor, as you know the school is under lockdown, so I was wondering if I could possibly have a pass to meet you for...extra lessons, outside of class.

I would not mind that, no. Should I escort you from your common room, or...?

And... might I ask what for? You do well already.

Maybe we could meet after dinner, if that's alright.

I just... I sort of suspect that I know who was hit with the curse, and I want to learn better ways to defend myself.

Ways that will end a fight with a little more finality.

Duelling in class is one thing, but I'm sure you recognize that if there's someone going around cursing students that's another thing entirely.

Perfectly alright.

Do you? I would encourage you to come forward with that, but... there is a reason you're keeping quiet, isn't there?

Is there anything you had in mind? Certain spells you haven't been taught yet, techniques? Fighing dirty?

If nothing else, I will teach you how to duel ah... less formally. Not everyone bows and waits for the the other party to be ready, and is... polite. I know that.

Mostly that I just don't know for sure if it was him, really. Either he'll come forward, or the Ministry will catch whoever did it anyway. I'd be a jerk to drag him into a spotlight he doesn't want.

I was hoping for all of the above.

He's good to have you.

Then that's what you'll get! It won't be easy, but I would be doing you a disservice if it was.

I'll be glad for the challenge. Thank you, Professor. Can we start tomorrow evening?
