Private message to Mr Rosier

Dear Mr Rosier,

Thank you for your letter of encouragement that arrived this morning. As you heard, I received an Ouroboros pin from Mr Virgil Crispin as a sign of his sponsorship of me.

I was one of five Gryffindors to be so honoured, and one of two half-bloods. (The other is Dean Thomas.)

Mr Crispin addressed that point, in his letter: 'If you doubt that He could open His circle to a halfblood, then prove to Him and to all who would stand in your way that you deserve it beyond question, by any means necessary.'

I will do my best to prove myself worthy, sir, and to bring honour to you as my foster father.

In His Service,
Seamus
