Chapter 63:

But just in case... The Salem Witches' Institute in America accepts boys as well, despite the name. They are good people and would protect you even from Dumbledore, if you needed it. Britain holds that you need Dumbledore's permission to emigrate to magical America, but magical America disagrees. So in the final extremity, get outside the wards of Hogwarts and tear in half the King of Hearts from this deck of cards.

That you should resort to it only in the final extremity goes without saying.

Be well, Harry Potter.

As I recall, that was planted by Dumbledore and led to a location in London.

Dumbledore? Yes, the Defense Professor was the one who IDed it as London, but Dumbledore didn't challenge his story.
