Addressed to one Remus James Lupin, care of Pontus the owl
.Sent by one Albus Dumbledore of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry
.My dear Remus,
It is my exalted pleasure to inform you of the decision made by the Ministry of Magic that will allow you to return to Hogwarts and take up your former position as Professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts. Although it is an open invitation and you are more than welcome to decline if you should so choose, it would be my greatest pleasure to welcome you back to Hogwarts. The term, as you know, begins the first of September. Your response, whatever your choice of action, is appreciated no later than August fifteenth, exactly two days from now. While I should most like to see you return, there would be no offence if you should chose to do otherwise. The attentions you would receive from some in attendance at this school would be less than flattering, now that your condition is known. Still, keep in mind that there are many, many others who would be pleased to know of your return. Send a reply with Pontus; we await your response.
Sincerely yours,
Albus Dumbledore; Headmaster, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry
"Well." Remus J Lupin blinked as he folded the sheet of parchment and replaced it in its envelope. He blinked again, his gaze fixed on the plain, unadorned packet. "Well."
"Hmmm?" A curled jumble of robes beside him opened its eyes slowly and stretched, revealing itself to be a youngish witch in possession of a pair of rather startling green eyes and curly brown hair. "What is it, Remus?"
Remus scratched the brown owl perched on the arm of his couch and moved it gently onto the window sill. From the folds of his robes he procured a quill and a scrap of parchment and bent over the side table, scribbling a quick note. "It seems," he said as he attached the folded parchment to the Pontus' leg, "that a rather sudden change of events has taken place." He watched as the dusty owl shrank to a dot in the late summer sky. "It seems I am going back to Hogwarts."
