Malfoid is at the end of the long table with the board ledger and a pen she is not using.

MalfoidYou are the new Defence teacher. There are four children and I have already taught them everything you are about to.

She turns the ledger round. Nine names. The handwriting of the last eight is hers.

MalfoidI forged eight children into the register so this school would count as open. Put it in your report, or in hers, or in neither.

She closes the ledger and does not look at it again.
