A/N: Just a piece on the letters James' parents no doubt got in his first year. I may do some for the other years if you like this one.
Disclaimer: No, not mine at all.
Dear Mr. and Mrs. Potter,
I regret to have to write to you a mere five weeks into your sons first term, however, I cannot ignore his behaviour.
James has already been given eleven detentions for misbehaving. While minor indiscretions can be accepted for a new student, trying to make a name for himself, the food fight he started in the Great Hall at breakfast this morning was a step to far. He began levitating food at the Slytherin house table, and preceded to aggravate the situation by shouting insults. I have given James a week's detention.
I am sure you will wish to write to your son about this situation.
Yours sincerely,
Prof. M. McGonagall

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Potter,
I must once again write to you about your sons behaviour. I find James to be a gifted child, he does not, however, use his talent productively.
Last night, your son was apprehended dualing a fellow student. Hogwarts does not tolerate fighting in its corridors. Magic is to be kept in the classrooms. Not only was James out past curfew, but he also showed no remorse for his actions, merely joked. I have given him two weeks detention.
Please speak to your son about his behaviour.
Yours sincerely,
Prof. M. McGonagall

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Potter,
Your son is once again misbehaving.
James and a fellow student thought it would be amusing to release thirty pixies into the Great Hall at Dinner. This caused complete panic and some students received minor injuries. This is unacceptable behaviour. I have given three weeks detention.
As the Christmas holidays are approaching I suggest you take the opportunity to have a long talk with James. I also express concern as to where James procured pixies.
Yours sincerely,
Prof. M. McGonagall

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Potter,
If you spoke to your son over the break I'm sorry to say it didn't have any effect. Just three weeks into the new term and I once more find it necessary to write to you.
Last evening, James and a fellow student broke into the girl's dormitory in Gryffindor tower. I have no idea how they got past the sliding staircase, though as I have already said, James is a very gifted student. Your son and his friend proceeded to steal clothes from the 6th year girl's room. This behaviour will not be tolerated. I have given James two weeks detention.
I would ask you once again to write to you son about this.
Yours sincerely,
Prof. M. McGonagall

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Potter,
I enclose this letter with James' school report. As you can see, James has achieved excellent results. He is particularly talented in my Transfiguration classes. However, his behaviour is once more lacking.
As a "good-bye present" at the end of year feast, James and three fellow students broke into the kitchens and placed levitating sweets in the desserts. It took some time to get all the students down from the ceiling. This is a dangerous and irresponsible stunt. I could not give James detention as it is the end of the school year, he did, however, loose 50 points for Gryffindor.
Please speak to James over the summer holidays about his behaviour and I look forward to seeing a much improved young man next year.
Your sincerely,
Prof. M. McGonagall
