Owls to Professor Maturin and Brice de Winter
Professor Maturin,
I'm very sorry to have to do this, but I am afraid I will no longer be available at Hogwarts as your assistant. I have decided to go back home. It was a pleasure to work with you.
Dominic de Winter.
Brice,
I'm going back home.
I wish I could stick around longer, but as fantastic as it was to get to know my brother--not Dave, but Brice--I can't help wondering about Dad, and I'm really missing him and Lily.
You can visit easier than I can. If you want, just send me a message and I'll meet you at some prearranged place. It might just blow Lily and Dad's minds if they found out. I won't tell anyone.
Your brother,
Dom.
(Aaand with that, Dom is popcorn.)
