Owl From: Minerva McGonagall, Headmistress of Hogwarts To: Remus John Lupin Delivery Method: Letter, House Elf delivered Date: Friday Jan 14th, 2000
Remus,
You must forgive me for the informality of this letter, but as it is the first week of school after Christmas break I am rather busy. In fact, that is part of the reason I am writing to you. The Defense Against the Dark Arts post here at Hogwarts has just opened up, and you are my first choice. It really is rather convenient having you come back the first week of school as our last professor could only hold the post until Christmas break and is back in the Czech Republic studying banshees.
You'll always have a home here, Remus, even if you decide against taking the job. Still, I hope you will consider it. If you would like to discuss this in further detail please feel free to come by my office.
Sincerely,
Minerva McGonagall Headmistress of Hogwart's School of Witchcraft and Wizardry
