Dear Miss Granger,

We are pleased to inform you that an opportunity has been extended to students from recent graduating classes who were unable to complete their final years at Hogwarts. You are warmly invited to rejoin your studies and achieve your full diploma. This option is available to all eligible students and provides a unique program tailored to support you in your return to the wizarding academic community.

The academic year will commence on September 1. Students will travel to Hogwarts by the Hogwarts Express, departing from Platform 9 ¾ at King’s Cross Station at precisely 11:00 a.m.

Course Schedule

Your list of subjects for the year is as follows:

Defense Against the Dark Arts

Charms

Transfiguration

Potions

Herbology

History of Magic

Astronomy

Ancient Runes

Arithmancy

New Course Requirement: All Muggle-born students are required to take Wizarding Society. Half-blood students will take Wizard and Muggle Society, and Pureblood students are required to enroll in Muggle Society. Exceptions may apply in special cases.

In keeping with your strong academic record, your workload will be challenging but highly rewarding, setting a solid foundation for your future endeavors.

You will retain your previous House assignment, Gryffindor. Housing will be arranged accordingly, with a designated study space and additional resources provided for those returning to complete their studies.

We hope this opportunity will allow you to reach your full potential as a witch, equipped with the skills and knowledge to navigate both the wizarding and Muggle worlds. Should you have any questions, feel free to contact Professor McGonagall’s office.

Please return the enclosed form with your response by August 10 to confirm your attendance.

Yours sincerely,
Professor Minerva McGonagall
Headmaster

As soon as Hermione received her Hogwarts letter, excitement and nervousness stirred within her. Without hesitation, she grabbed her quill and quickly penned notes to Ginny and Luna, suggesting a trip to Diagon Alley to gather their school supplies, as well as a detour to Muggle London for some extra clothing.

They met the next morning, all three carrying a renewed sense of purpose for the coming school year. Diagon Alley was bustling, and they quickly slipped into Flourish and Blotts to pick up the hefty textbooks for their advanced classes.

“I can’t believe we’re doing this all over again,” Ginny laughed, juggling a stack of books.

“It’s surreal,” Hermione agreed. “But there’s something comforting about it, isn’t there? Going back, learning more… even with the new class requirements.”

Luna, as always, looked thoughtful. “I wonder what the new ‘Wizarding Society’ course will be like. Perhaps it’s a chance to understand each other better?”
