I'm sure each of you joins me in expressing what a deep honour it was today to welcome Our Lord to Hogwarts. It is a testament to the unparalleled quality of our library that He should require its resources. We have materials available nowhere else in the world, and our library is undeniably the finest and most ancient collection of its kind.

I for one will never enter the library again without thinking what a privilege it is to attend this school which Our Lord Himself attended, an institution unrivaled anywhere.

I certainly agree, Sandoval.

One thing I suggested was that a place in the library might be set aside for His exclusive use: a particularly nice study table in an alcove off the Restricted Section, perhaps with a special plaque, etcetera. Madam Pince seemed quite taken with the idea.

That is a very fine suggestion, Weasley. I thought you presented it well at our meeting last night. I hope you weren't disappointed when the Headmistress said it would require approval from the Board. I can't imagine they'll be anything but supportive of your initiative.

Thank for that, and for your support on the proposal.
