Hello, Harry Potter.

Your feet. Aren’t they cold?

Bit…

Unfortunately, all my shoes have mysteriously disappeared.

I suspect Nargles are behind it.

What are they?

They’re called Pestrals.

They are quite gentle, really. But people avoid them because they’re a bit …….

Different…….

But why can’t the others see them?

They can only be seen by people who have seen death.

So you have known someone who has died, then?

My mum. She was quite an extraordinary witch. But she did like to experiment. And one day, one of her spells went badly wrong.

I was 9….

I’m sorry.

Yes, it was rather horrible. I do feel very sad about it sometimes.

But I’ve got dad. We both believe you, by the way.
