Sylvan nervously entered the classroom where he would be learning transfiguration. He walked right up to the teacher and handed her a note, as he had not yet been able to visit her office.
SPOILER!!: Note to Professors
Dear Sir or Madame:
This letter is to request your patience and understanding with regards to the education of our son, Sylvan. Sylvan is profoundly deaf and has been so since birth. We had him educated in the use of the Muggle deaf language, ASL, but as we understand that this is not a common language for most people, especially wizards, to know, we hope that you could try to remember the following:
1. That you speak clearly and enunciate your words when you are speaking to him so that he can read your lips,
2. That you are facing him while you are speaking, and
3. That you have gotten his attention before you begin speaking to him.
We thank you in advance for your understanding and cooperation, and wish you all the best for the coming school year. If you have any questions or concerns, we would be more than happy to receive your owl.
Sincerely,
Mr. and Mrs. W. Weatherskein.
Taking a seat on the right side of the classroom, he pulled his wand from his robe pocket and began fiddling with it.
