Professor Scrimshander,
It's very likely you will not remember me, so let me start off this letter by re-introducing myself as Anna Jenkins. I attended NWA from 1997 until June of last year. Upon speaking with Tulojow Nagde, I learnt that you have been accepted as the Muggle Studies Professor at Hogwarts this fall. I was pleasently surprised to hear this, as I have recently moved to London, in order to pursue a job as healer at St. Mungo's.
Although I did not take your classes past 4th year, I remember your classes fondly. I'm sure you can understand that being muggle born myself, Muggle Studies was an unneccesary subject. However I know many of my friends loved your class, and I am certain NWA is sad to see you leave.
I hope this letter finds you well and that your move to the U.K. goes smoothly.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely

Anna Jenkins

Anna,
You mustn't underestimate yourself. Of course I remember you! (Do you still sing at all? If not it's a damn shame!)

You needn't worry about offending me. Students can only take so many classes, there's only so much time in the day. You were always a keen student so I can't say I was happy to see you go, though!

We must have tea sometime. I'd love to hear how St. Mungo's is going for you. Congratulations are in order, if a bit late.

I look forward to seeing you.

Cheers,
Professor Scrimshander         
Geoff

P.S. Since I'm not your professor anymore you're welcome to address me by name.

Professor Scrimshander
Geoff,
(I must admit it will take me a bit of time to get used to addressing you as such.)
I indeed do sing now and again, though I can't believe you recall that! Unfortunately St. Mungo's has a bit of a traditional approach, and singing as a healing method isn't generally encouraged. However, I am enjoying my work, and I love London. It's so very different from Canada and Washington! I went to see the Tower of London yesterday; it was magnificent. And it was comforting to spend some time with muggles. It does get a bit lonely here, not knowing anyone. I would most certainly appreciate a cup of tea once you are settled here.
All the best
Anna Jenkins

Anna,
Take your time in adjusting, but if you call me Professor Scrimshander next time we see each other in person I may be forced to take disciplinary action.

I'm not surprised about St. Mungo's. But it's the price you have to pay for a good job, I suppose. Give up some things, gain others. C'est la vie and all that.

Very glad to hear you enjoyed the Tower (though isn't that a rather morbid choice?) I'll have to show you around a bit before I head off to Hogwarts, maybe introduce you to some people. I'm sure you'll do just fine.

Should be across the pond soon, just a few more things to tie up here. I'm sure the owls will appreciate it once I'm moved.

Geoff
