Students of Durmstrang, please attend carefully.
As most of you are already aware, this week is Dragon Week. The exhibition and arena are set, and I am sure that most of you are excited to go and experience what the handlers have to offer. HOWEVER, you will remember to comport yourselves properly and with respect towards both the experts that have set up camp here and the dragons themselves. Despite their massive weapons, terrifying visages and ability to incinerate you if you so much as glance sideways at them, they are still magical creatures - thus, they are still subject to many of the various fears and foibles of the lowliest Fire Crab.
You will not antagonise the dragons. You will not act the fool. You will not attempt to put your hand in their mouths 'for a laugh'. You will not, as one contemporary of mine foolishly did, bring with you a summer hat and try to force it upon the head of a Swedish Short-Snout claiming it would look exactly like your Great Aunt Ormelia. Though still small, these adorable and venerable creatures are still highly dangerous and require your utmost concentration when viewing. I will not be the one who attempts to retrieve your severed fingers from the belly of the beast, and if you DO behave like an idiot one of two courses of action will unfold:
1) The dragons will take advantage of the opportunity and kill you.
2) I will defend the honor and sanctity of these beautiful creatures and kill you.
Please have an enjoyable, educational and safe week. I will be on site as much as possible to provide supplementary information regarding dragon anatomy and habits, as well as a keen and watchful eye.
