[A private note, passed to Mr. Shin Sawada by a house elf during dinner]
Mr. Sawada, it has come to my attention that you have, perhaps, underestimated the amount of responsibility that comes with the badge that you wear as Head Boy. I understand that House Gryffindor has already lost points because of your actions.
Of course, it is to be expected that you have absorbed the material of your classes; I recall as a boy taking a quick doze beneath my hat from time to time. But we can't all be geniuses, Mr. Sawada, and it is your duty as Head Boy to set a positive example for the other students that inhabit these halls. If it is acceptable for the Head Boy to nod off, then, what hope does that leave that the rest shall be attentive?
In conclusion, I do believe that I made the right decision in conferring you that badge of honor, and I would be quite disappointed in myself to find that my decisions are less sound than they once were.
Sincerely,
Albus Dumbledore
