One.
Books to read over the summer.
An extremely incomplete list.
Reread the complete works of H.P. Lovecraft. Push off other reading endeavors until this is complete. For a Muggle, he was surprisingly well-written. You would all do well to read it.
[ Following this there is an extremely long list of both Wizard and Muggle writers, a lot of things that sound like they were written over one hundred years ago, especially in the wizarding department.
It's so long that it takes up several pages in neat, elegant script. ]
There, I think that's sufficient. It's been a pleasure learning with you all this year. If you need me, simply send an owl to the Lalonde residence. I'm looking forward to a long reprieve from homework with a decent amount of light reading to keep me company.
Jade, John, if you want to do something this summer, let me know. Although my plans are lofty, I don't doubt that my mother will find some way to sabotage them. I might have to turn to plan B for my solitude.

That's an odd choice of wording
Private
No offense meant, he's one of my favorite authors. Petty arguments about the boastings of wizards, witches and humankind aside.
Private
They're using a little creative licensing
Literature written from the magical community is hardly any different than from the non-magical one
The bias is just on the other foot
Private
The magical writing is not without its share of made up fantasy, any more than Muggle writing.
Tell me Professor, are you hoping I gain a better understanding of the magical culture, or the Muggle one?
I'm sure my illustrious parental figures would be glad to tell me more about either.
