Warm Regards Miss Opeila

Dear @Opeila Winters,

I trust this message reaches you at a time of relative calm, though that tranquility may not last long. As a prefect, your responsibility to safeguard the students of Hogwarts remains paramount, no matter how reckless some may be. Unfortunately, I must bring to your attention one such reckless student—one who may very well shatter the peace you’ve enjoyed.

A student calling himself Raphael has taken it upon himself to sneak out at night and venture into the Forbidden Forest. While his reasons remain unclear, he left a troubling message behind:

My name is Raphael.
I offer blood and meat.
I ask to right three wrongs.
I will return.

The implications of this message are concerning, to say the least. As you are well aware, the Forbidden Forest is not merely a place of wild creatures and strange magic—there are entities within those woods far more dangerous than any student might imagine. Hags specifically, not to mention the forest’s own ancient, unpredictable magic. Raphael, in his naive belief that he can seek answers or control powers beyond his understanding, he is treading a path that will lead to disaster.

I urge you to watch him closely. His defiance or misguided curiosity may soon evolve into something far more tragic if left unchecked. As a prefect, it is within your power to prevent him from making a grievous mistake. Let me remind you that even the most well-intentioned ventures into the Forbidden Forest rarely end well, and Raphael is unprepared for the dangers he’s courting.

However, I must also caution you, Opeila: Do not venture into the forest yourself. We both know what happened the last time, and the odds of being saved twice from the same fate are slim.

I trust, despite our differences in perspective, that you will handle this matter effectively. The forest may call to many, but only the lucky few return unchanged.

Stay vigilant.

Warm regards,
A Friend
