Disclaimer: I will probably own only one character in this entire story, and even that is built from J.K. Rowling's world.

Letter of Warning

For all that deceptive charm of yours, nephew, the insatiable curiosity cannot be concealed.

I am alive, thank you for asking, and that is as well as anyone can be in these times. In any situation, the questions you ask would be difficult to answer... Now it is absolutely dangerous.

You need to understand the consequences of knowledge, nephew, and that goes for your friends as well. The disappearances you see in the paper are not coincidental. He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named is a formidable wizard, with an astounding mind and astonishing power. The latter resides in the former and it resides in as few people knowing about his past as possible.

Anyone who got close to him, and would not further his cause, is dead or missing. Bizarre accidents marked his years at school. The culprits were never caught. A very talented witch disappeared in his final year. Headmaster Dippet did not reveal this incident, because no satisfactory links could be made. I have not heard of her since.

Do you understand now? It is essential for you to watch yourself. It is critical that you do not demonstrate the rash behavior that almost cost you everything last year.

I am not the only one keeping an eye on you, nephew, but I am one with kind motives.

A/N: Thanks.
