Who: Parents of Hogwarts Students, Hannah Abbott (Private owl)
Where: Hogwarts, Respective locations
When: September 10, 2024, morning
Rating/Warnings: PG
Summary: Neville informs the parents and tries to reassure them
Status: Complete
Neville was weary, beyond weary he was weak with sadness and regret, going over and over what had happened and wondering how this intruder had gotten into the school. Every morning he'd check the charms, and yet still... someone got in, the charms had to be checked and rechecked, the Aurors doing their jobs admirably. Still, they had lost Edward.
He was heartsick but knew that if something like this happened at the school and he was not Headmaster, he would want to hear about it. Even though this may mean students being pulled from Hogwarts, it was his duty. Neville enchanted the parchment so that when each parent received the letter, it would be personalized with their name and their child or children's name.
.... It is with a heavy heart that I write to all of you this day, but I feel the need to inform you as I would want to be informed, having a child attending Hogwarts as well.
Last night, an unknown intruder had somehow found his way into Hogwarts and captured one of our students. The student was found but was unable to be revived by our staff Healer. Aurors were called to the school and the deceased chold's parents were notified immediately. Aurors have since taken up rounds at Hogwarts. As well, classes are cancelled for the day to ensure the Aurors have free reign to conduct their investigations.
Horrible as this crime was, I'd like to assure you that the culprit will be caught and brought to justice and that Hogwarts is still safe. I would not still have my own son here if I was not sure of that fact. Additional charms and barriers have been checked and rechecked by a specialist with the Ministry, as well as our own Charms Professor.
This was an isolated incident and please know that my staff, the Aurors and myself are diligently trying to solve this crime and to continually protect the students, your children, within these walls.
Sincerely,
Neville Longbottom
Headmaster
Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry
**********
Hannah,
Last night an intruder got into the school and murdered one of the students. No, it was not Frankie, thank Merlin, but I know you'd want to know straight from me. You have to know that I'm heartsick over this and watching our son like a hawk. This was never supposed to happen... I've failed already and it's not even a month in.
Classes are cancelled today and we have aurors all over trying to find the intruder... he couldn't have gotten far. But everything's been fortified, even though they were already secure. I don't know how this could've happened.
I'm sorry,
Neville
