Dear Harry, What a disaster! I couldn’t believe it when I heard you had been sent home! Have you really been expelled? Undoubtedly the evil Snape is celebrating your departure...the malodorous little vermin!

However hard I try, I cannot believe you pushed our great visitor, Dumbledore, off the top of the old tower. Sadly, however, so many people say they saw you do it. How can that be? Fortunately, the bushes below saved the professor from instant death, although he will be in hospital for some weeks. In his feverish ramblings he cries out, “Save me, save me from this bat-winged demon! Save me from his blood stained fangs, his raging snarl...save me...”

Write soon Harry, I beg you. I need to know what really happened that night on the tower top. Who was the evil demon? How did Professor Dumbledore come to fall from such a height?

Your loyal friend, Hermione
