Dear readers, This story is about four special transfer students going to Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry. J.K. Rowling was right; wizards do live among us. One of my colleagues and his friends have been through a few terrible events and asked me to share their story with the world in order to keep something safe. They made a tape of themselves telling their story, chapter by chapter, and sent it to me to write down and share with the world. If you are disturbed by troubling backstories, bullying, suicide, racism, or the death of nifflers, I suggest you find a different book. Even if you read this book, it's best to pretend this never happened, and that it is all fiction. But all these events actually happened, and I hope you can understand that, and that my enemies are still at large. Oh, and one more thing: Don't keep the package. Sincerely, Rey Tello P.S. There may be slight British cussing.
