I hope the summer has found you well. I am writing to ask for permission to bring a new animal companion with to Hogwarts this year. You see, I happened to be given an ancient magic coin. Attached to this coin is a magical creature. A large Newfoundland dog, black in color I have named Raven. Here's the thing. He's a protector. I've done my research, and have attached a copy of all my notes. Even a map where the coin is from. It's actually an estate, where an ancient Roman ruin is located. He won't leave my side, and is said to be the protector of the lady of Camulus.....who ever holds the coin.
He is well behaved and will be of no issue to the other creatures at the castle. Please respond. The new term is drawing near.
respectfully yours, Liliana Garcia-Adamson

The standard notice allowing students to bring an Owl, Cat or Toad is not a hard rule. Rats, Spiders, Puffskeins and other animals have always been found in the ownership of Hogwarts students. You are certainly welcome to be accompanied by this companion of yours as long as it passes certain magical checks following your arrival on September 1st. I only ask that you can ensure you are adept at taking care of and cleaning up after such an animal, which is standard practise for all nonstandard familiars or pets. Lastly, I shall remind you that you will be responsible for the animals behavior. Disruptions in class or elsewhere by it will cost you house points and may put you in detention.
Best wishes in the new year, Minerva McGonagall, Hogwarts Headmistress
Thank you so much! I know that I have seen other such creatures at school. But his breed can be a bit large so I wanted to make sure before I assumed. He will of course be on his best behavior while at school. I would be happy to bring him to you, or anyone of your choosing for his Magical Check. Please just let me know who you would like appointed for that meeting.
