Welcome to Hogwarts.

Welcome to Hogwarts - and a welcome from Hogwarts, to those of you who are no longer with us at the castle.

This year inaugurates a plan instituted by our Lord Protector and the Ministry of Magic - the Journal Initiative. All wizards and witches have received journals through which to communicate with each other. Through these journals, students, you will meet new people and make connections that will last your whole life long. Authorities, you will soon discover which of our students are particularly sharp and worthy of your patronage.

Be advised that your journal entries are public and may possibly lead to House Point deductions.

As one of the Gryffindor prefects, I would like to take this opportunity to also extend a warm "Welcome to Hogwarts," particularly to our first year students. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me at any time. The castle can be a bit overwhelming when you are first settling in, but I'm sure you will learn your way around in no time.

Thank you, Mr Weasley. I appreciate it when students take initiative and responsibility.
