On The Offensive

14th January 1989

Dear Mr Ollivander,

My name is Miss Padma Patil and I am turning nine years old in two days. I am writing to you to ask whether I could get my wand early - it would be for my own protection.

I have a very good control of my magic, I've been able to cast spells on my twin sister for quite a long time now. If I had a wand I would be able to practice more and would be prepared for Hogwarts. I need to be prepared sir, if my time at a Muggle primary school has taught me anything it's that bullies always look for those that are weak.

They seem to think I am weak and I do not want to be weak anymore Mr Ollivander.

I'd be very grateful if you would consider it. I have already read all of the books in my house.

Yours hopefully,

Padma Patil
