"Mum," Harry said into the unnerving silence, "I'm going to test the hypothesis. According to your theory, how do I send an owl to Hogwarts?"
His mother turned from the kitchen sink to stare at him, looking shocked. "I - I don't know, I think you just have to own a magic owl."
That should've sounded highly suspicious, oh, so there's no way to test your theory then, but the peculiar certainty in Harry seemed willing to stick its neck out even further.
"Well, the letter got here somehow," Harry said, "so I'll just wave it around outside and call 'letter for Hogwarts!' and see if an owl picks it up. Dad, do you want to come and watch?"

You are most welcome, and I hope you enjoy it! I consider it one of the best novels I've read in the past decade. Full kudos to Ms. Rowling, of course, for creating the characters and universe in the first place, but Eliezer Yudkowsky created something just as magical. (And I will always treasure the quote about idiots near the end. :-) )
