{{Conjecture}}
This '''letter''' was written by [[Sirius Black]] to his godson, [[Harry Potter]], on [[7 October]],<ref name="HPL">[http://www.hp-lexicon.org/timelines/calendars/calendar_op.html HPL: Calendar: OP]</ref> [[1995]]. The letter simply said ''"Today, same time, same place."'' It was written so vaguely so if it was intercepted, none would know what the letter was talking about. However, the letter was intercepted by [[Dolores Umbridge]], who wounded Harry Potter's [[owl]], [[Hedwig]], in order to get it. Although it was vague, Umbridge was able to figure out that Sirius meant to [[Floo Network|floo]] the [[Gryffindor]] common room that night to speak to his godson.

+Also, Dementors have the ability to fly freely, without support. It is also stated by [[Remus Lupin]] that, provided a wizard remains in close contact with Dementors for an extended period of time, a Dementor can drain a wizard of his powers. This is not touched upon after being mentioned, so the truth to this statement is unknown. If this is the case, however, it would make Dementors the only known being to permanently render a wizard without magic.

		+	Well, per your request, and the discussion we have had, which I see from the above you are aware of, we have decided to welcome you back to the Harry Potter Wiki. Please be aware that this is a highly unusual and possibly unique decision (I don't know of any past cases where anyone who had been issued an indefinite block was allowed to come back.) At least for a while, you may consider that you are on on "probation," however, unlike what happened with Umbridge, this certainly isn't an attempt at harassment, but rather a good faith effort on our part that you have recognised your mistakes and misbehaviour of the past and are willing to change. That said, while we aren't trying to pounce on you if you make any mistake, we are going to be monitoring your edits and you should take particular care when it comes to anything you have been warned about in the past on this talk page. I would also advise against creating any new pages for at least a month or more until you've settled back in. In any case, welcome back to the Harry Potter Wiki and here's hoping you will continue to be a valuable contributor for a good, long time to come. [[User:ProfessorTofty\|ProfessorTofty]] ([[User talk:ProfessorTofty\|talk]]) 23:47, May 20, 2013 (UTC)

 Her cruelty was disguised by her quiet, childish, high-pitched voice (which both took Harry aback and made the hair on his neck stand up straight, as he had expected a croak), as well by decorating her office with paraphernalia related to [[Cat|kittens]], [[chocolate cake]]s, [[biscuit]]s, [[tea]], and other cute things; the cuteness of which was described as sickening by Harry. Her personality has been described as "poisoned honey"; it was said on various occasions that the sweeter her voice was, the more dangerous or infuriated she became. She also tended to give her signature fake cough, "''Hem-Hem''", when she wanted someone's attention, rudely interrupting them, as well as usually speaking to people she felt were her lessers in a very condescending tone, as if they were simpletons or very young children.
-Umbridge was fanatically prejudice against part-humans (such as werewolves and half-giants), which she called "[[half-breed]]s." It was her prejudice that caused her to pass a series of anti-[[werewolf]] legislation, which made it almost illegal for those afflicted with lycanthropy to hold jobs. Her prejudice also led to her mistakenly believing that mermaids and centaurs are part-humans, when in fact they are separate species, and in her haste of prosecuting them she would forgo her usual feigned politeness, and be outright rude. However, after the incident with the Hogwarts centaurs, she has developed a phobia of centaurs. An odd derivative from this prejudice is that, despite her hatred of half-breeds, Umbridge did not seem to hate [[Half-goblin|part-goblin]] [[Filius Flitwick]] (most likely due to lack of knowledge of Flitwick's ancestry and his undeniably skilled teaching methods), as [[Fred Weasley]] stated that she marked him well on his inspection.

-Umbridge was presumably capable and fairly intelligent, as she was high-ranking in the Ministry at relatively a young age. However, this was probably more a credit to her ability to manipulate and her unabashed opportunism, and not indicative of any remarkable magical ability. In fact, her general magical knowledge seemed limited, as she unreasonably demanded Snape to [[Veritaserum]] in less than the required month after she squandered the entire bottle on one previous interrogation despite Snape already told her that three drops would suffice.

Her style of teaching students is also simply having them read from the textbook, while avoiding any practical lessons and answering students' questions, suggesting that she is inadequate in teaching, something Professor McGonagall made clear during Harry's [[Careers Advice]]; indeed, Umbridge believes that theories are enough for students to get by exams and mastering self-defence, which many situations prove her wrong, though she refused to acknowledge that fact.
+Umbridge was presumably capable and fairly intelligent, as she was high-ranking in the Ministry at relatively a young age. However, this was probably more a credit to her ability to manipulate and her unabashed opportunism, and not indicative of any remarkable magical ability. In fact, her general magical knowledge seemed limited, as she unreasonably demanded Snape to brew [[Veritaserum]] in less than the required month after she squandered the entire bottle on one previous interrogation, despite Snape already telling her that three drops would suffice. She also could not figure out how the students were suffering from the [[Skiving Snackbox|symptoms]] of "[[Umbridge-itis]]", nor how to remove the [[Weasleys' Wildfire Whiz-bangs]] and the [[Portable Swamp]] left by [[Fred and George Weasley]], something which other teachers easily cleaned up.

 Despite her evil and support of Death Eaters, she was at least known by reputation not to be a Death Eater herself. In what appears to be an ironic twist or inconsistency, she was able to produce a [[Patronus Charm]], a feat that would be impossible for a truly evil person as it would cause [[maggot]]s to devour that said person instead, evidence that she had at least some good within her, however invisible it may seem.

 ===Education at Hogwarts===
 ====Early years====
-Blaise Zabini is the son of a [[Blaise Zabini's mother|famously beautiful witch]] who had been widowed [[seven]] times over by [[1996]]. Each husband's death both occurred under suspicious circumstances ''and'' left the already wealthy Ms. Zabini and her son richer. It is unknown if Blaise's biological father was one of the seven late husbands. Blaise may well be a [[pure-blood]] wizard, as he dislikes "blood traitors" and people who associate with [[Muggle-born]]s. He is stuck-up and does not befriend Muggles or Muggle-borns.

-In [[1991]], Blaise started his education at [[Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry]] by being [[Sorting Hat|sorted]] into the [[Hogwarts Houses|House]] of [[Slytherin]]. Due to Blaise's reserved nature, he kept to himself most of the time and didn't really make friends with other Slytherins, nor other students in his year—though this may have been because he was prejudiced against [[Muggle-born]]s and "[[blood traitor]]s." To a small extent, Blaise seemed to get along with [[Draco Malfoy]] and [[Pansy Parkinson]]—he was able to sit with them on the train journey to Hogwarts—but other than that, he wasn't mentioned as hanging around with the group

-Blaise was one of the students who received an invitation from Professor [[Horace Slughorn]] to join him for lunch on the [[Hogwarts Express]] journey, which might imply that none of Blaise's parents were Death Eaters, as Slughorn wanted nothing to do with them (it was the reason why he chose not to invite [[Theodore Nott]] to join the Club).

When Ron had a row with Harry himself about the [[Goblet of Fire]] choosing Harry as a champion, he spent a lot of time with Seamus and Dean. However, when Seamus expressed his disbelief about Harry's statements that [[Tom Riddle|Lord Voldemort]] was back, Ron supported Harry and got very angry with Seamus. However, they became friends again. Seamus was also a friend of [[Hermione Granger]], [[Lavender Brown]] and [[Parvati Patil]] who were also [[Gryffindor]]s in his year.
-Despite being a year older than him, Seamus was also friends with [[Katie Bell]]. They might off been romantically involved during the [[Battle of Hogwarts]] as he was seen to be holding her hand during Neville's speech.

 Seamus also seems to have been friendly with classmates and fellow [[Dumbledore's Army|D.A.]] members [[Hannah Abbott]], Ernie Macmillan and [[Susan Bones]]; during the [[Battle of Hogwarts]], he was frequently seen fighting alongside them, even though his best friend Dean Thomas had returned to Hogwarts. His friendship with Hannah and Ernie may have became closer when Dean was on the run and he had to make new friends, both Harry and Ron were also absent from school leaving Seamus with only Neville as a friend.<ref name="DH" /> Seamus had also met other members of the army, such as [[Ginny Weasley]], [[Angelina Johnson]], [[Alicia Spinnet]], [[Lee Jordan]], [[Fred and George Weasley]], [[Colin Creevey|Colin]] and [[Dennis Creevey]], [[Michael Corner]], [[Anthony Goldstein]], [[Terry Boot]], [[Luna Lovegood]], [[Cho Chang]], [[Marietta Edgecombe]], [[Justin Finch-Fletchley]], and [[Zacharias Smith]], although their relationship with Seamus is unknown.
