Did You Know?
Braces, or suspenders, were almost universally worn due to the high cut of men's trousers. Belts did not become common until the 1920s. — MJ

To Professor Valenduris,

Thank you very much for your letter and for the book! I love it, I think it's the best book I've ever read in my life! I can't believe there are magical animals! I suppose, it's not strange, given that there is a magical world, and wizards, but still! Dragons! I can't believe there are real dragons! How do you manage to hide them, if they're so big? Will there be a dragon at Hogwarts for me to see?


As for the proposed shopping date, it works for us, thank you, Sir. I cannot wait for our shopping trip, Aunt Margaret is also rather excited, even though she doesn't admit it. We understand about Aunt Alice, though we can assure you that she is very discreet, she will not tell anyone that I am a wizard. Neither will my parents, because they don't want to be shunned from the church. But now I wonder, what do you do if non-magical people, Muggle as you call them, find out about magic? What if my father for example decided to tell people I'm a wizard, how do you stop them?


I am also curious, how can I be a wizard if no one in my family is one? Was I cursed as a baby by another witch or wizard, to be one myself? Am I a wizard because my mother died giving birth to me?


I hope my questions are not too tiring. I also want to tell you, that I tried to make magic, by thinking hard about things, but nothing happened. My Aunt Margaret told me to wait until I go to school and I will learn everything, but now I am curious, why couldn't I make magic now, when I thought about it, but in the past, when I wasn't thinking about doing magic, I was seemingly doing magic? I also read in the book that there's some things called Incantations, and then the Incantations themselves, some Latin words. There was one about slowing down a dragon. Do we have to know Latin to do magic, Professor? I am afraid I don't know Latin, not even French. Can I do magic with English only? Aunt Alice used to be a governess, she can teach me some French if it's needed for magic.


Looking forward to your next letter,



Anthony Lawrence
