[This letter is delivered in a huge Manila envelope with pages and pages of copied paperwork behind it. It is hand-written on a yellow legal pad in a man's handwriting.]
Attn; Headmaster, Deputy Headmistress, All Professors of Hogwarts.
This letter is in response to your acceptance letter to the minor formally known as Harry James Potter.
The Letter delivered Via owl, was mailed to Palo Alto where said minor was living with his adopted older sister. Harry was confused, conflicted, and quite upset. Not having any knowledge of his parents or his past at all, this came as quite a shock to him. He had suffered a severe head injury when he was young, and can remember nothing from before he was saved from his abusive biological Aunt and Uncle. He recovered and was quickly adopted into another family at the age of Six.
Before responding to or accepting his place at school, I asked him permission to look into the school, his past, and the validity of the letter and this claim of wizardry. I have learned to be quite wary of this things, and for a good reason. What I learned after weeks of researching with my Father, Brother, A family friend and the help of Grinngotts bank was appalling. Not only of the wizarding war, and how it ended, but what happened afterwards as well.
Not only was a 15-month-old child left at a doorstep with nothing but a blanket and a letter, But a defenseless child was left in the hands of two adults who never should have been allowed to even raise their own child! He was never looked after, cared for, or even checked up by any adult (Magical or non-magical) until he was 5. A child the Dursleys nearly killed, saved only by dumb luck. This is unforgivable.
We also know of the Prophecy, and how it came to be heard by one Dumbledore as well overheard by another; one Severus Snape. We know that Dumbledore, Even though he personally abandoned the 15-month-old, was still listed as the child's legal magical guardian... All that point to wanting to cast Harry out of sight, only Harry as a weapon to kill the dark lord years later, and then allowing his life to be cut short to fulfill his so-called 'Purpose.'
To put the rest of this letter bluntly.. We know you're game; And we're not playing.
Included after this letter are the minor's previous birth slip, Adoption records, (Both from when he was 5 and the adoption that took place one week ago.) Both the magical and Muggle Copies. His older sister, Jessica, is now his legal mother since there former mother has pasted away. Her husband has also taken the post as his legal father, and his family has welcomed Harry in as one of there own as well. His new uncle in particular is very fond and protective of his new nephew. Also included is a form which Harry has willing relinquished his British citizenship. Any attempt to have him transferred or extradited to England will be refused. We hope that this is more than enough to not only prove guardianship. We now officially reject his place at your school and any responsibility or connection to the magical U.K. on his behalf.
Also included are his medical records from his childhood, copies of the entire court case and investigation against Mr. And Mrs. Dursley, The first-hand account of one Miss. Arabella Figg on the night of November 1rst, as well as an order of termination of Magical Guardianship of one Albus Dumbledore. On the grounds of reckless abandonment, Criminal neglect, and endangering the welfare of a minor...
You many notice that most of the names, Birth dates, and other important information on those forms have been blacked out. This is to protect the minor, and all other innocent parties involved from being found or located in any way.
I have forwarded them to the magical law enforcement office half a day ago. We also sent copies to your newspapers, government offices, and Auror department at the same time.
Restraining orders, not only for Dumbledore, but for every employee of Hogwarts school has already been filed. also, a request for a blanket Gag order stopping any Employee of Hogwarts from talking about said Minor to anyone, including headmasters and headmistresses of other magical schools, has also been filed and will soon be taking effect. Once again, Both Muggle and Magical.
We hope this not only makes you accountable for your actions, but makes you realize that you no longer have any legal, moral, or emotional say in Harry's life. Please consider this legal action as phase one. If any further attempt to use this minor is attempted, more Legal action will be taken..
Salutations;
~ Samuel Winchester.
P.S; If I where you, I would do what you should have done years ago... Finish the dark Lord off while he's still weak. Don't wait around for a child to grow up so he can do your dirty work for you.
