Headmaster Greyfriar,

I request a meeting at your convenience regarding Ministry business.

Kurby Bagnold
Werewolf Capture Unit

The Headmaster opened the letter from Level Four over a breakfast of eggs an toast. He received occasional correspondence from the Werewolf Office, routine notices. Most of them were usually boilerplate, and he'd never gotten one from Kurby Bagnold. Kurby bloody Bagnold. The last time he'd encountered the Werewolf Hunter, Bagnold had played the part of his archaic job title perfectly.[1] The memories of that time still haunted Knox during his solitude and as night fell on a Full Moon.

In fact, he'd thought of just the other night, his first transformation in the Forbidden Forest.

He'd also learned some time later it had been Bagnold who'd been at the Ministry the night of the Ides of March disaster.[2] There would likely be never a convenient moment to face that wizard again.

Knox dropped his cutlery to the plate, and penned a response. What could this possibly be about, he thought bitterly.

The letter was comprised solely of a few dates and times the next week, falling during breaks in his teaching schedule, and in the evenings.

1.	12 March 2009 - The Beast Within
2.	11 March 2009 - These Dog Days Aren't Over

The reply came later that day, addressed to the Headmaster once more.  It was short and to the point.


21 September.  17:00.

I'll come to you.

Bagnold
