Dear Mr. Lawrence,

I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. Please rest assured that you have not lost your chance to attend Hogwarts; in fact, I am delighted to inform you that you are indeed a wizard, and a very talented one at that.

There is no need to apologize for your parents' reaction during my visit. I understand that the magical world can be a lot to take in for those who are unfamiliar with it. Fear and misunderstanding often lead people to react strongly when faced with something new and extraordinary. I bear no ill will towards them and hope that with time, they may come to see the magic within you for the wonderful gift that it is.

It warms my heart to hear that you are now living with your Aunt. I'm glad to know that you have a supportive and caring guardian by your side. Please convey my regards to her and let her know that it is entirely appropriate for you to have written this letter yourself, but if she has any questions she can of course write to me at my muggle non-magical address: 25 New Greenwich Road, London.

I am more than willing to tell you all about magic and the fascinating wizarding world. As for the items listed in your welcoming letter, they are magical supplies that you will need for your education at Hogwarts. I understand that you might not be familiar with these items, so do not worry. I would be more than happy to take you shopping for your school things. My daughters are also starting their first year at Hogwarts this year, and I plan to take them shopping as well. You are most welcome to join us. It would be a pleasure to assist you in any way I can.

In regards to how you will get to Hogwarts, worry not; there is a magical means of transportation specifically designed for students like yourself. It's called the Hogwarts Express, a magnificent train that departs from Platform 9¾ at King's Cross Station in London. Rest assured, you will not miss it, and once you are onboard, you'll be in the company of other eager students heading to the school. We can make specific arrangements for that, if you join us for school shopping in London.

I eagerly anticipate meeting you once again in person. You have a bright future ahead of you, Mr. Lawrence, and I am honored to be a part of your journey. Should you have any further questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out to me.

Warm regards,

Professor Meserimus Sebastian Valenduris
Deputy Headmaster, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry
