Dear Professor Dumbledore.
I am sorry I was absent from the great hall when the champions were being announced. I was thoroughly engrossed in the inspection of the Beauxbatons horse type carriage carriers. I admit I had never seen anything quite like them and lost track of the time. However, I did hear quite a lot about it this morning when I was called upon by Professor Karakroff, Professor Maxime, Mr. Crouch, and Mr. Bagman to conduct a formal investigation on how the Goblet of Fire was so easily duped by a fourth (4th) year student.
I will be holding this investigation of course, but first I thought I would just make some of my thoughts known.
I really do not think that a student who is underage should be allowed to participate in a tournament with a strict age limit ( put there with very good reasons) such as the Tri-wizard tournament, regardless of magically binding pacts.
Putting aside of course the unfair advantage Hogwarts would gain over the other schools, it is simply unsafe to disregard the rules put in place to keep the participants safe and unharmed throughout the festivities.
And as the student is not of age, I must advise you he is required to have the permission of his parents or legal guardian to enter the tournament in the first place. If you do somehow convince the other Professors to allow you two champions then I would have to see a permission slip.
