It had been a few weeks since Justin had sent that letter to his mother

hoping that she might know how to handle his new - found talent and have

some advice to offer him. Justin, Bertie, and Josh were all sitting at their

usual table in the Great Hall eating dinner when the owls started to pour in

from every direction delivering the mail to the students. Justin sat there

waiting somewhat patiently for a response from his mother. All of the owls

had delivered their parcels and post and lef the Great Hall and Justin slumped

down in his seat disappointed. Bertie noticed Justin's disappointment and put

her hand on his shoulder and said " Don't worry about it. Your Mum will write

back and we'll all figure this out. " Of course, neither Bertie or any other

student knew what had been troubling Justin. In fact the other students in

Ravenclaw thought it was pretty cool that Justin could cast spells without

speaking, especially seeing as how he was a first year.

Just as Justin had given up hope to recieve an answer to his letter a lone

owl flew into the Great Hall and straight to him. Justin quickly tore open the

envelope and began to read.

" My Dearest Justin,

I'm sorry to have taken so long to answer your letter.

I've done a bit of research since recieving it. As it turns out

your ability to cast spells without having any type of training

is extremely rare. Only few witches and wizards have ever been

able to do what you are able to do. What's more puzzling is that

you are so young. You must be very careful not to get upset

with people. You are more likely to cause someone great harm

if you do not start to control it. Do ask Proffessor Dumbledore

for help with this matter. I have also sent him an owl explaining

the situation.


All my Love,
Mummy "
