"Hello Professor. Believe it or not, but this is the first time that I'm actually coming here to visit your office. Anyway, I just wanted to let you know that I thoroughly enjoyed your classes last term and that I'm looking forward to attending yours again this year. I still have the silver horse you gave me. Everyone at home loved it and of course since I was flying back to the States, I believe that it did bring me home safely. Anyway, I was wondering whether you needed help preparing stuff for class lessons or anything outside of that? If you do, I would like to volunteer my services. You can always let me know after class or send your Patronus to find me. I still wish I could do that.

Best Regards
Alyssa Potter

Miss Potter,

I'm glad you've found your horse charm useful. If I need any help at all I will be sure to keep you in mind. However, I highly suggest you do not stress yourself out too much this term, school is hard enough without taking on an extra workload. I also suggest you continue working on your focus and intent, and hopefully your Patronus will come along nicely by the time you reach your OWL year.

Professor Schirmer.
