Dear Headmaster Higginbotham,
We are accepting your invitation for our daughter, Daphne, to attend Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry beginning 1 September of this year. Please add her name to your rolls and send any necessary documentation and forms to us so that her entry may go smoothly. Please ensure that, included in those forms, is the form for Madam Pomfrey to contact us if Daphne should need any medical treatment while at Hogwarts.
We are very excited that this opportunity is being extended to Daphne, but we understand that the world she is entering will be very different than the one in which we currently live. Please also forward any information on any programs designed to make that transition as smooth as possible.
Finally, is there anyone at your school who is willing to answer a new student's questions before the school year begins? Daphne has quite a few questions and we'd like to see them answered by someone in authority, instead of fellow students who may not always know the correct answers. Or, to be honest, who may get tired of her enthusiasm.
Thank you in advance for your attention to these matters.
Sincerely yours,
Dudley and Sophie Dursley
Sophie looked over the letter one more time before she sealed it. She really hoped there was someone who could answer all of Daphne's questions. The Potters had been doing their best, but Daphne was coming up with ones that were stumping them. And driving her parents mad in the process.
