Schoolwide Owl
Dear Students and Faculty,
As you are likely aware, it has long been the policy of the school to never use Transfiguration as a punishment. We have adhered to this guideline for years, and I believe that this practice has served the school well.
Until now.
It has come to my attention that a certain student has taken it upon himself to pursue a perilous avenue of magical study without the supervision of an instructor. I believe that further dangerous extracurricular activities such as this will be curtailed if I allow you all to experience the exact thing that this individual has attempted.
Consider this not a punishment, but a valuable learning experience. Your Animagi forms shall be transformed back when I feel sufficient knowledge has been acquired within the student body.
Yours,
Albus Dumbledore, Headmaster
