I trust that this owl finds you well. I realise that with all the changes Hogwarts has undergone over the past few months, you are likely quite busy, so I will be brief.
Due to the introduction of compulsory Muggle Studies (I was already in the renamed Defense Against the Dark Arts, so this is not such a concern for me), I was wondering if I would be permitted to take seven classes instead of the recommended six. I am aware that this would be a heavy work load, but this is my final year, and I received six "Exceeds Expectations" and three "Outstandings" on my OWL examinations.
I would be grateful if you considered my request. My cousin, Gwenog Jones, also sends her regards.
Regards,
Dear Theodore,
If you attend Hannah Abbott's study party (seems an oxymoron of terms, though I have used it before myself), and if you take notes, could I trouble you for a copy?
