Narrator's POV
Two weeks before the new school year, Draco and Harry received their Second Year school letters while eating breakfast.
It read, "SECOND-YEAR STUDENTS WILL REQUIRE:
•'The Standard Book of Spells, Grade 2' by Miranda Goshawk
•'Break with a Banshee' by Gilderoy Lockhart
•'Gadding with Ghouls' by Gilderoy Lockhart
