Private message to Lucius Malfoy and Dominic Selwyn.

What in merry fucking Erebus-

I've just been sacked. From teaching. By Fathead Dolores Umbridge. So has Minerva.

Not to mentioned accused of carrying on inappropriate relations with a student! And until the "matter is resolved," I can remain in the castle only as Harry's security, so long as I keep to "minimal student contact."

Why wasn't I warned? What the bloody crackers is going on?

And where was my warning?

I can't kill her- and don't bloody give Rod any ideas. She's blackmailing me you nonce, claiming that I was carrying on with Cassandra Calderwood when she was barely of age. And she's got proof. Or what passes for it.

And she made it quite clear that if I raised any fuss, or if anything happened to "waylay" her investigation, my name won't ever be cleared.

[alt_selwyn]

I had no idea she had plans to move against you, or I assure you I'd have let you know.

[alt_rabastan]

No, I mean why wasn't I warned that Fleet's spot was absorbed, rather than filled with one of ours.

Am I missing something or did we win a war once?

This is a fucking disaster. And I don't just mean what's happening to me, though I admit that's pretty much my biggest concern at the moment.

[alt_selwyn]

I thought Lucius was in touch with you. I was hounding Peakes, trying to get one of our candidates put on the board as an interim appointment.

[alt_selwyn]

Wasn't Cassandra Calderwood the one who attempted to curse Aurora, last year? She's saying you had an inappropriate relationship with HER?

How is this considered even remotely credible?

[alt_rabastan]

Yes, that's the one.

Umbridge has one of Cassandra's memories, and offered me her pensieve to view it for myself.

It shows the two of us... enjoying ourselves together in some kind of romantic boudoir. No place I've ever seen before, and no memory that I myself remember being a part of.
