Is it Harry or Harold? I do apologize but until the letter came Father never mentioned you. He said Harry but then he calls me Daffy which quite honestly I hate. As it is Daffodil isn t much better.
But that s neither here nor there I suppose. I got a letter from a school Father said he heard of as a child, a similar letter pertaining to you. Apparently I'm a witch. Odd that really, one day you are shopping with you mother, looking for the perfect school uniform and the next day a regal looking Barn Owl comes floating along and hands you a paper with books and classes you never heard of, inviting you to a school you never applied to. Odd, as I said but no less exciting.
Well I suppose the reason for this letter is rather obvious. I really need your help dear Uncle. I know nothing of this school and nor does father. (Or Mother. She nearly fainted when the letter arrived!) It would also be nice to meet you and your family- if you have one. After all we are related. I have no brothers or sisters and I think cousins would make me feel dreadfully less lonely.
Especially as none of my friends are talking to me currently. They think I ve not been accepted to any schools in Europe and my parents have invented Hogwarts to hide the shame of sending me to public school. And I m not to tell them otherwise. There's a law about telling non magical people ( Maggles-Meggles? Oh bother I forget the word) about the magical world.
I do hope to hear back from you soon as I feel quite alone in this and could really use someone who has some experience with magic.
Really hoping you will come.
Most sincerely,
Your niece Daffodil
