Dear Reader,

We are already aware of the epic narrative that surrounds the young boy at Number Four, Privet Drive – who one day received a letter that changed his life. But what of all the other little boys and girls who recieved similar letters? What of the ones who could not afford the fees of a Public School, let alone one that only accepts boarders? What of the Muggle-borns with no Hagrid to show them the way? What of the students that aren't in Gryffindor or followers of Draco Malfoy? What of the neurotic, the unbalanced, the paranoid? What of the poor, malnourished muggle-born standing in the doorway with wide, teary eyes and a terrified face? What of the people who just want to survive their time in school without losing an arm, leg or least of all their life? Well, we can't answer all of these questions, but we're gonna give it a darn good try – this is the HPAS, looking forward to the next seven years.

P.S. Medea sends you hugs and kisses xx
