HOGWARTS SCHOOL of WITCHCRAFT and WIZARDRY*

Headmaster: Albus Dumbledore

(Order of Merlin, First Class, Grand Sorc., Chf. Warlock,
Supreme Mugwump, International Confed. of Wizards)

15 June 1971

Dear Mr. Jones,

I regret to inform you that we cannot allow you to accompany Ms. Swan to Hogwarts, nor can we take you as a student. It grieves me deeply to have to inform you of this, as well as to deprive you of your best friend for the better part of the year. Friendship is the most magical substance I have ever encountered in my career, both as a wizard and a man, and I most sincerely hope you remain friends with Emma Charming as the two of you continue to grow older.

This owl, delivering the letter to you, is named William, after the famous Muggle playwright (Muggles, my dear boy, are non-magical folk). I gift him to you, as both an apology, and a way to correspond with your friend Emma while she is away at school. I also send along a pack of lemon drops. They are my favorite kind of candy, and I hope you will enjoy them as much as I do.

Yours sincerely,

Albus Dumbledore
