Private message to Professor Dolohov

Sir, 

I have this piece of jewelry that I think is cursed

I found something I think is cursed

You know a lot about curses and cursed things and

Tiaras don't usually have voices, do they? I mean not a VOICE exactly but when you put something on and it makes you feel good, at first, and then later it makes you feel terrible, and it makes you think things that perhaps aren't what you would usually think and it's not that it MAKES you do things exactly but it gives you these impulses, is that thing probably cursed?

I'm coming to your office right now to see you, I hope that's all right. I have something I want to show you.

Never mind.

I'm sorry, Miss Weasley; I was otherwise occupied throughout most of today and did not have my journal available.

I should be available tomorrow afternoon, if you'd like to stop in then.

Best,
Professor Dolohov

It doesn't matter now. The Headmistress took it, I can't show it to you anymore.

[alt_antonin]

"It"? I could not read your struck-out text; what did the Headmistress confiscate?

[alt_ginny]

It was a tiara.

I think it might have been cursed, and I thought you might know how to tell, and what to do if it was.

But Megan Jones thought it was food, I think. (I had it in a box.) She's such a tattletale So, the Headmistress has it now.

Maybe she'll also know what to do with it. I was sort of hoping you'd know how to take away just the curse part and I could have it back

[alt_antonin]

I see. Thank you, Miss Weasley; if it is indeed cursed, we must trust that Madam Umbridge will handle it wisely. Was the object sentimental? If so, I will see what I can do to arrange its return.

If you would like, stop by after Easter hols and I will teach you how to identify the most common signs of cursed objects, for future reference.

Regards,
Professor Dolohov

No sir, it's not exactly sentimental. I wanted

I'll stop by after the holiday. That sounds very useful.
