Dear Unknown Muggle: The Wizarding World Finally Reaches Out to Me

OMG YOU GUYS BEST LIBRARY FIND EVER! I was shelving books in the teen area when I picked up a folded piece of paper sitting on the edge of one of the shelves. Naturally, I opened it before recycling to see if it was filled with juicy gossip, but it was SO MUCH BETTER! Here is a scan:

Yes, that IS a rip in the paper labeled "Bloody Owl!"

I mean, I can’t say I’m surprised. Obviously if you’re going to take your magical family on a muggle vacation, you would end up at the Holly Springs Library. You can TELL this was written by an authentic English witch because she uses the word “bloody” TWICE and also “horrid”. My only point of confusion is that it is written in pencil on notebook paper instead of on parchment with a quill, but I assume it is all part of her undercover muggle disguise.

After years of picking up pieces of paper with chewed gum stuck to them in the stacks, I feel like this was the universe’s way of giving me a reward.
