(Order of Merlin, First Class, Grand Sorc., Chf. Warlock,
Supreme Mugwump, International Confed. of Wizards)
Dear Miss Hayden,
We are pleased to inform you that you have a place at Hogwarts School
Term begins on 1 September. We await your owl by no later than 31 July.
Yours sincerely,
Minerva McGonagall
Deputy Headmistress
Mr Hayden eyed her daughter nervously as she read the letter.
After reading, Janet looks back up at her father from the letter and pass the letter to her father. “What’s this? Is it a joke or something?”
“It might be,” Mr Hayden answered, relieved that Janet did not take the contents in the letter seriously.
“This looks like some kind of April fool joke but its July now, it can’t be an April Fool joke.”
“Maybe it got delayed somewhere.”
“This is weird,” said Janet as she pocketed the letter. “Hogwarts School
Janet shut herself in her room for the whole afternoon, thinking about all the weird things that happened today. First, there were owls all over the place and sent me this weird letter about she’d been accepted to this witch school that she have never applied for. However, the weirdest of all are her parents’ behavior after seeing owls delivers letters. It’s not an ordinary thing for owls to be swooping all over the place, not to mention delivering letters but her parents show no sign of shock seeing them around the place and even knows that they are delivering letters as they retrieve them as if they are ones who delivers posts instead of postmen.
In the other room, Janet’s parents were really anxious about something.
“She’s got the letter.”
“You let her took it? Did she read it?”
“She did but I don’t think she is taking it seriously, thinks it’s a joke or something.”
“But it’s still coming to us. We just can’t leave it and now Janet’s getting it too,” said Mrs. Hayden.
“Maybe that’s something we can’t escape from. Who we really are. Do you reckon than we should tell Janet the truth?” Mr Hayden suggested but Mrs. Hayden shook her head furiously.
“No. Not even a word to her. After all these years, I’m not going to give up. I’m sure we’ll be able to stay away from this. It’s for our own good. I’m not convinced that You-know-who is dead. You said you didn’t see any other bodies besides James and Lily Potter. He’s not dead, David. I just know he isn’t.”
“I understand. But she’s got the letter, the school is aware of her existence, at least Dumbledore is. I don’t think we can stop her from going with Dumbledore as headmaster. And I’ve got this from him just before Janet received her letter.” Mr. Hayden took out a piece of parchment from his pocket and passes it to his wife.
Mrs. Hayden unfolds the parchment and read:
Dear David & Emily,
I have always been aware that you wanted a peaceful life for your family. However, I believe Janet deserves to know the truth about the wizarding world. Her name has been in the Hogwarts’ list ever since she was born, and I will secure her a place no matter what happens. We are not certain if Janet has inherited the pleasant gift of her father’s, and her relationship with Harry Potter but I may do all my best to free her from those ties and give her the normal and peaceful life that her parents risked so much for her. If my letter has not cleared your doubts about her entry into Hogwarts, I may drop by and explain furthermore about this.
Yours Truly,
Albus Dumbledore
