BOOK FOUR

Found in... Teachers' / Aurors' Lounge
Looks like... A stationery booklet; it looks like something someone would write a letter on, tear it out along perforated edges, then fold it and send away. Simple parchment, a bit more elegant than most, however. Regal, almost. Dark ivory cover, with a wrap around binding strip of leather.

I am officially a Ward of the State. No relatives, if they exist, want me. It vexes me and relieves me at once to get that off my chest.

My parents were in a magic MAFIA. And now whoever killed them wants me dead. Seidensticker told me to be careful at Hogwarts. What if one of these students, or Aurors... or Salazar forbid, even Professors is an assassin come to 'take care of me'?

I'm ... frightened. Very frightened. I've never felt that way before.
