Dear Cypress,
As your time at Hogwarts draws to a close, I find myself compelled to reflect on the journey you have undertaken and the remarkable young man you have become.
During my time as a member of Hogwarts’ senior staff, I have had the pleasure of witnessing the unwavering dedication, courage, and frankly exceptional sense of responsibility you have demonstrated. Your leadership as Head Boy has been nothing short of exemplary, even with all the challenges you have faced, and it has been an honour to witness your growth and accomplishments.
When the school was confronted with the presence of the basilisk- a foe we had yet to identified, your bravery and determination shone brightly. You were always there to step up, offering support to myself and guidance to your peers, and your actions spoke volumes about your character. It was during these moments, in fact, it was specifically within the dueling room after one such attack, that I became sure you would make for an outstanding Head Boy.
Your tenure as Head Boy has only reaffirmed my belief in your capabilities. You have led with intergrity, kindness, and a sense of duty that has truly shown the strength of your character. As you leave Hogwarts and embark on new adventures, I have no doubt that you will continue to excel and make a difference in whatever path you choose- whether it be to go on as a Professional Quidditch player or something that speaks more to your noble nature. Your courage, wisdom, and unwavering commitment to doing what is right will serve you well in all your future endeavours.
I would like to thank you for being an exceptional student and an outstanding Head Boy, Mr. Chalamet. Cypress. You have made Hogwarts proud, and you have certainly made /me/ proud. Remember that you will always have a home here at Hogwarts.
Wishing you all the best in your future,
Abaddon Blightly-Osborne O.M.1

Dear Robert,
As your time at Hogwarts comes to an end, I find myself filled with a profound sense of pride and admiration for the young person you have become. It is with a full heart that I write this farewell letter to you.
Over the years, you have faced numerous challenges and difficult situations that have tested your resolve, your character, and your emotional strength. Despite these obstacles, you have continuously impressed me with your ability to overcome them with resilience.
Your time as Head Girl may have been cut short, but this in no way diminishes the remarkable contributions you have made to our school. I have not forgotten your dedication last year during the basilisk situation and the steadfast support you offered during that time. It was then that you impressed upon me the brilliance of your potential and I still do not regret the chance taken on you. You have shown incredible dedication and a genuine desire to protect others, even if that desire has at times gotten the best of you. I know that there are those who may view this statement with skepticism, however, I wonder if they know the depths of your personality or whether their judgements are based on what they have heard. I have seen your willingness to step up and take responsibility, even in the face of personal turmoil, and I find this to be a testament to your strength and character.
I have and will always consider you to be one of my most promising protégés. Your ability to learn from your experiences, to grow, and strive for excellence is inspiring. The incident involving the mirror counterparts was a difficult and complex situation, and while mistakes were made, I hold no grudges. Instead, I see the growth and maturity you have demonstrated in navigating these challenges. I only hope that you will remember our talks and continue to grow. Do not let yourself grow bitter under the weight of judgment, Robert. Rather, I hope you will instead let it motivate you to prove yourself.
Your journey has been marked by moments of bravery and compassion. You have faced your own reckless emotions and emerged stronger for it. Your dedication to your future as an Auror, and those plans beyond, your commitment to bettering yourself not for the benefit of others but yourself, has not gone unnoticed.
As you leave Hogwarts and embark on the next chapter of your life, for it is a new chapter and not an ending, I want you to know that you will always have a place here. You are, and will always be, a part of the Hogwarts family. I have no doubt that you will continue to achieve great things and make a /positive/ impact in the world.
Thank you for being an exceptional student and a remarkable individual. It has been a privilege to know you, to mentor you, and to watch you grow. Remember that you will always have my support, and I am immensely proud of all that you have accomplished.
Wishing you all the best in your future,
Abaddon Blightly-Osborne O.M.1
