Private message to Padma Patil

[alt_savitha]

Miss Patil, I've had my eye on you a bit since arriving. It's not often I get a new sister in Our Lord's service -- and one so young. I think your youth might have attracted a bit more comment if it weren't for Miss Lestrange.

You remind me of some of the students I taught years ago -- some Ravenclaws, some Slytherins, all talented.

Auror Sandoval sponsored both you and Hydra Lestrange, didn't she? She must have been positively delighted with your success.

Thank you, Professor.

Lana sponsored me, yes. And I'm ever so glad she did.

But I suppose compared to Hydra and Seamus, I'm the one everyone's surprised to find on the Council. I'm sure you and Professor Dolohov are just as worried as Seamus is about whether I'll be able to hold up to Our Lord's expectations. I just want you all to know that I'm not going to disappoint Him or Lana or any of you.
