Letter 1: From the Crowes to Albus Dumbledore
Professor Dumbledore,
The magic you said would start to activate has shown itself. Something like a bubble with a blue shine appeared after Maria was put to bed. The magic could cause some problems, especially in school where parents would see her doing things and then would make their kids stay and slowly make the kids despise what she's doing as it can't be explained.
There's also this one little boy sticking by her no matter what. He says he can see the bubble surrounding her and Maria says she can feel something special coming from him. The boy, Jeff, is our neighbour's youngest son and has been friends with Maria ever since their first play date. We think he's magical as he seem to make things float to comfort Maria when she's upset or just do things to protect her.
The situation is that the Gardners, our neighbours, tried moving away once, but Jeff just ended up appearing in our house the next morning. The Gardners were so worried that he had run away and had slept outside or in one of their empty rooms that they phoned us to go check, but before I could hang up and go check, the two kids came downstairs babbling about their dream. The Gardners decided to stay in the house next door.
The kids have been inseparable. We even tried sending them to different schools, but on would appear at the other school and just sit in class.
Is this normal? Because it's starting to scare us a little.
Sincerely,
Julie Crowe
