Justin Finch-Fletchley

Dear Mr Macnair,

I apologise that my first occasion to write to you is to alert you to a rather embarrassing set of circumstances, and that I did not take an opportunity to write earlier.

You see, you might know that I've been placed in fostering with the Jugson family. They have a servant named Maggie, who it seems has been receiving anonymous gifts.

Shortly after I arrived back in New London for the school summer holidays, Mrs Jugson discovered one parcel. Rather than allow her to punish Maggie for something well outside her control, I told them I had sent the packages.

Naturally, I then had to admit to Maggie, privately, that it wasn't me at all. But when I asked Ms Tonks whether she had been sending them, she thought perhaps you had been the source.

I believed she had planned to ask you if you had been Maggie's benefactor but she must not have found the right opportunity.

Sir, did you recently send her another parcel? We managed to keep the Jugsons finding out but it was a near thing.

Ought I to tell her that they're from you? That I know she's not really muggleborn? It's such a terrible risk, but if you've been sending her packages, I wonder if you've been hoping for a way to make yourself known to her.

If you'd prefer I continue to act as if I've no idea who has been providing for her, naturally, I shall oblige. But if it's possible to let her know the truth, would you wish her to know it?

You may not see this for some time but if you do, I hope you'll write and tell me how you would like me to proceed.

Sincerely,

-Justin Finch-Fletchley
