Gentlemen,
I must congratulate you both on your new-fostered dedication to the subject of Potions. While your exams in June showed promise but were on the whole, mid-grade, it is clear you have applied yourselves to the art over the long holiday.
However, the true test of a Potioneer is in his brewing, and there, as I am sure you already know, one of you missed the mark.
George, I do wish you to know that it was a difficult decision. Your Draught of Peace was a solid effort. (Solid, unfortunately, is not an acceptable state for a Potion.)
Knowing you both as I do, I am sure that the news that only Fred will be attending my lessons shall not deter either of you from continuing to share your academic efforts with one another. But alas, only Fred shall be able to continue within the practicum of my classroom.
Do please note, Mr Weasley, that your first lesson with me is this afternoon. See you then.
