FORWARD

I WAS DEEPLY HONORED WHEN I WAS ASKED to write the forward for this book. I remember the time my brother, Aberforth, convinced me a Muggle sweet known as a lemon drop would explode if I ingested it and char my intestines. Unless, I ate a piece of goat dung afterwards. Thinking back I don't even think he tricked me, he fully believed it himself, poor bloke. But at the time I fully believed him not knowing Muggle candies do not have magical properties like many wizarding candies such as acid pops. But, I am sad to say if I had only payed more attention to Muggle Studies I would have tried a lemon drop before my 129th birthday and missed out on that sweet pleasure in life for so long.
