"Well professor, I was talking to one of the students in the common room yesterday and things were going fine until I mentioned Ms. Leiden, the Ministry official. I know this had something to do with what happened last year, but I didn't want to press for any more information because she was definitely uncomfortable talking about it. I guess I got worried. I checked out "Hogwarts, A History" from the library, but it really didn't tell me anything about last year. I don't want to ask anymore students and alienate myself from them. I'm only a first year, and it's kind of hard making friends when you're new and all. I figured it would be okay to talk to you, being my head of house. Well, I just wanted to ask what happened last year? Why doesn't anyone want to talk about it?"
