Chapter Thirteen: In Which There is a Great Deal of Owl Post
Dear Mr. and Mrs. Potter,
It is my deep sorrow to inform you of your daughter, Lily's, death. I can't begin to comprehend how you must feel, and I want you to know how deeply Lily will be missed by all of us here at Hogwarts School. She truly was an exceptional girl. Her death was a tragic accident.
Please let me know your wishes regarding her funeral. I will expect you both tomorrow.
My condolences,
Aglaia Lucina Beaumont, Headmistress of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry
Dear Mr. and Mrs. Potter,
I will always treasure the brief time I had to get to know Lily. She was an extraordinary girl, very bright and creative. I found her work exemplary in class and out of it, and her passion for learning invigorating.
She was truly an example to everyone around her. I often saw other students following her lead, and I believe she would have gone far in any career she chose. It was an honor to know her.
I shall miss Lily.
My condolences,
Sable Joshi-Yap, Professor of Potions at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry
Dear Harry and Ginny,
I'm so sorry. I should have been faster, I should have stopped it—
No. I won't cheapen your pain by trying to make it my fault.
I know how you must feel, and I just wish—
I'll miss Lily.
Find me at the funeral, I think I might know something about the accident.

Dear Potter and Weasley—ahem, Harry and Ginny—no, Potter and Potter—
