Urgent Owl to Professor Crowley

Dear Professor:
I would first like to say that I am most pleased to have been Sorted into your House and am very much looking forward to being a contributing member of Slytherin. Second, I have a matter of utmost importance about which I must ask you a rather demanding favour. I hope you forgive my forthrightness, but the situation is extremely dire.
You may recall a prior conversation we had during my Sorting in which I referred to an unfortunate portrait hanging in the entrance hall of the London abode you accepted in exchange for voting me into Slytherin. You offered to destroy the portrait, and for this I was very grateful.
Unfortunately, it has recently come to my attention that said portrait has shown up here at Hogwarts and is making a colossal nuisance of itself.
It is out of extreme desperation that I humbly ask if it would be possible for you to destroy this portrait before it causes me, and Merlin knows how many other students and professors, an irreversible amount of mental trauma.
The house in London is still yours, as will be my greatest appreciation and indebtedness if you are kind enough to respond to my request.
Sincerely,
Sirius Black
Slytherin House
