Dear Killian Jones,

Do you remember what I told you, about keeping a friendship alive? I don't worry that Emma's friendship with you will disappear merely because you did, my boy. However, it may be best if you contact her before her birthday. She seems distraught, to say the least, and it seems as though she's getting in more trouble this year than last. I can't say that has everything to do with you, but it is certainly a marked changed from the past year.

How are you, my boy? Moody has sent me the occasional letter informing me of the ship's location and your health, but I would like to hear from the source. Are you well fed and adventurous still? I've never sailed, and it is surprising to me that Moody is, but from what he's told me, it's enjoyable.

Yes, there are other magical prosthetics besides eyes, although Moody's is of particular interest. Not only does it allow him to see, but walls of any kind are none existent to his eye. I was with him when the thing was enchanted, and it is a marvel.

Best wishes, my boy, and my customary gifts. Write to Emma.

Sincerely,

Albus Dumbledore
