Malfoy, go fetch me Robards from the DMLE and tell him to bring the file on Hornby. Boot, fetch me her file from the Department of Education.

To those of you who can read this, any and all information any of you can give me on Hortense Hornby would be appreciated, especially anything that may be pertinent to her death. I apologise if this is insensitive to some of you who may have been her friend, but we do not want someone out there dishonouring her name.

Hortense was a Slytherin in my year and she really did fancy Grayson and she liked to bake. She had blonde hair and she was a half-blood. She was sort of stupid sometimes but we were friends. She got upset at the end of when we were at Hogwarts and stopped talking to a bunch of us, and then she went to the battle and she died. She had sent us all sorts of letters and things about her dying, too. Do you think they were fake?

I'm Augustus Urquhart, by the by.

	To hurt us. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I don't think this is a matter of haunting. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Then what is it? Hortense is not someone anyone would want to pretend to be, I can tell you that! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I don't know everything about ghosts, but there are some like poltergeists who are able to touch things (Peeves, for instance) but I can't recall anything in books about ghosts with unfinished business being able to use magic or touch things. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	...what if it was using a dictaquill? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	attackbirds 2009-06-11 08:00 am UTC (link)
	How would they possess the Dictaquill in the first place? It is a far more plausible explanation that someone might have gotten her journal, read her entries, and used the information they have to confuse everyone else. Talking like this about a deceased person is just disrespectful, in my opinion. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kalopsia 2009-06-11 08:08 am UTC (link)
	But why would someone want to do that? WHY? I am just as upset about this. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	attackbirds 2009-06-11 08:11 am UTC (link)
	To confuse us, most probably. There are people who aren't happy with the peace, and they'd stoop this low to do such a thing. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Hello, Augustus. This is all very curious. What sorts of things did these letters say? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	urq_off 2009-06-10 08:38 pm UTC (link)
	I don't know, it was mostly sentimental stuff about us being friends. Nothing very interesting. But I thought it was really weird she had these letters written for if she died at the time, and now it seems even more weird. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Minister Shacklebolt kalopsia 2009-06-11 06:45 am UTC (link)
	Mine was not sentimental. Mine threatened me and told me she'd do this if I, um, did something, which I did, and almost immediately after I did what she told me not to this happened and I AM A LITTLE SCARED. Thank you for your time. Also can I please switch departments, I do not want to further upset a possibly restless spirit. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	If you wouldn't mind, would you share this note with the DMLE? You may deliver it to Gawain Robards at your earliest convenience. (Reply to this) (Parent)
