My name is Barnaby Snell, and I am currently assigned to covering the Quidditch League for the Daily Prophet.
As part of my coverage of the lead-up to the new Quidditch season, I had the idea to take a look at the players coming up through the houses of Hogwarts this year. To that end, I would like to send an owl post to each of the house captains to get their insight on the upcoming season at the school. Quidditch is of course a big part of student life, and so many Prophet readers still look to us for news of how their old house's team is doing each year.
I hope you will grant me permission to interview your students. I will of course need to know to whom I should send owls. I will also completely understand if you deny my request; after all, study is more important in the end, and this may prove an unnecessary distraction from coursework.
I await your decision, and I thank you for your time and consideration.
