From Headmaster Albus Dumbledore
Students,
When I was first invited to write a dedication in your yearbook, I was happy to accept. But as I sit here thinking of what to write, I see that all of the joy that knowing you children has given me cannot be put into word. Words alone cannot express the honor that comes from knowing such a group of smart, intelligent, and talented young witches and wizards. I am sure that each and every one of you will find your true calling in life and I can only hope that what you have learned here in Hogwarts will aid you throughout the rest of your life. I myself know that only so much can be taught in the classroom. Only so much can be taught within this school. I hope that each of you can find the courage to learn on your own, out in the world.
Always remember your friends here. I saw that in the first part of the yearbook were pictures of your times here at Hogwarts. They will be there to remind you of what you stood for as a child. They are there to remind you of your hopes and dreams. They will remind you of the fun you hand, and when you look at them I hope that you will see that you have accomplished so much already. Alawys remember that although the pictures may fade, the memories will not.
Truly,
Albus Dumbledore
